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.
