What Materials and Patterns Will Work Best?

There’s a huge range of styles, materials and patterns available in rugs these days, so it’s a good idea to understand what works for you.

• Neutral colours are perfect for spaces with busy furniture or décor, but you could also pick a secondary colour from furniture patterns for extra appeal.
• With plain, solid-coloured furniture and walls, use a patterned rug in vibrant shades or rich textures to brighten up the area.
• Traditional patterns such as florals or medallions add elegance to formal spaces, while geometric or abstract designs in contemporary rugs add a modern touch.
• If you enjoy a blend of both styles, transitional designs such as asymmetrical or lasered rugs might be the best choice.
