Exploring Modern Pattern Rugs

Get familiar with the beauty of modern pattern rugs. These unique rugs feature patterns that create an interior decor scene that any teen will love. Keep it simple by shopping for your favorite colors or go deeper into design by looking at rugs inspired by universal forms, historic rug patterns and contemporary visual and textile arts. Consider the scale of your room when choosing your rug, too. Since these rugs can easily become a focal point, you want to make sure you give the pattern enough space to shine, while also complementing your furniture and other decor. Take the time to discover which modern pattern rugs are right for you when you shop now.

What's Popular in Patterns

Different patterns have repeated throughout the history of design, proving the versatile wonder of a good pattern. Modern pattern rugs help tie together your favorite furniture and design elements, while adding a layer of appeal on their own. To make the most of your rug, find one that complements other textiles, like your window treatments.

• Check out a trippy space-dyed rug for a surprisingly versatile way to incorporate design depth. These tonal rugs have a tight pattern, but feel like they're larger in scale.
• Bold patterns with primitive proportions grace other rugs for a bohemian style that anyone with an artistic side will find attractive. Neutral colors offset the big pattern.
• Minimalist looks like slim, high-contrast lines or simple tread patterns offer a fun way to incorporate detail into a room full of fine furniture.

Choosing a Size for Your Area Rug

Pick exactly the right size area rug for your room to show off its pattern best. Modern pattern rugs follow the same general rules as any area rug. You want to leave a border of flooring around the edges of the rug. If you choose a rug to define a space, put the furniture, like a vanity or desk, on the rug.

• Select larger rugs for larger rooms, but also for rooms with larger-scale decor, like big artwork panels or canvases, oversized wall lights or a low chandelier.
• To split a bigger room into spaces for a desk or vanity, choose one that is a little larger than the furnishings you intend to place on the rug. Include space for chairs, benches or other accent furniture in your measurements.
• Introduce a space by covering a transitional area with a modern patterned rug. Let the intricacy or simplicity of the pattern foreshadow the aesthetic of the room ahead. You can do this if your bedroom makes way for a study alcove or if you have an old playroom that you've converted into a gaming space.

Have fun bringing home gorgeous patterns that showcase your style and taste.
