Traditional patterned rugs draw inspiration from centuries-old weaving traditions across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. Characterized by intricate patterns like florals, botanicals, medallions, and borders, these rugs often feature symmetrical layouts and rich, saturated colors including ruby, sapphire, garnet, and sage rugs.

How do I fit a traditional rug into a modern space?
Blending traditional rugs into modern interiors is a powerful way to create contrast, warmth, and visual depth. Here are some tips to consider:
Let the rug be the statement: In minimalist or neutral-toned spaces, a richly patterned traditional rug can act as a focal point that anchors the room.
Pair with clean-lined furniture: Traditional motifs pair beautifully with modern silhouettes—think low-profile sofas, sculptural lighting, and streamlined accents.
Play with contrast: A classic Persian or Oriental rug in bold reds or deep blues adds drama beneath sleek white furniture or industrial materials like metal and glass.
Mix eras thoughtfully: Traditional rugs bring a sense of heritage to contemporary art, mid-century furniture, or modern architectural elements.
Keep it balanced: Use traditional rugs with subtle or muted color palettes to maintain harmony in serene, modern environments.
