Contemporary rugs

The magic of contemporary rugs

Have you seen the adventures of Aladdin? Do you ever dream, even for a few moments, of being in midair on a magic carpet, like the one starring in the Disney fantasy film?

The carpet is always a good furnishing solution and, even though it will not make us fly, it will be able to complete, and at times change, the look of a room.

Artisans and companies in the sector are well aware of this and they offer us the most amazing modern carpets, which are basically real works of art. These are decorative elements that allow you to rebalance spaces, warming them and making them more welcoming.

Let's be clar: it's not just about aesthetics, the contemporary carpets favor the thermal and acoustic insulation of the rooms in which they are placed, covering any floors worn by time or by some error that is now irremediable and certainly not pleasant to see.

How to choose modern style rugs?
Here are some things to consider.

Modern rugs: features

The first thing to consider, when deciding to buy modern rugs, is definitely their shape.

There are many different models which you can choose: rectangular, square, circular, polygonal, but also abstract shapes, perfect for playing with the geometry of an environment, giving life to paintings on the floor that capture and conquer every glance.

The second aspect to consider is the color.

A bit like the color of the walls, a light carpet makes a room optically wider and brighter, even more so when placed on a dark floor.
On the other hand, a dark carpet gives character to a floor with light shades.

Nothing prevents you from opting for a tone-on-tone solution between carpet and floor, for example in the case of parquet, or to be daring with a multicolor model.
The optical and lively prints adapt to any type of furniture and can find a place in any domestic corner.

You can also try the layer-look, the tendency of overlapping carpets of different materials, easily distinguishable at a glance or, conversely, similar in style, graphics, shades and textures.

Modern living room rugs

The living room is the environment in which you can have fun experimenting with a contemporary carpet.

The most classic solution is to place one in front of the sofa, crossing the edge by at least 20-30 cm, to make the spaces more balanced and not run the risk of tripping.

It can be placed under the foot of the sofa, in front, if decorated with a particular print, on one side or in the center, under a low table or to bring two armchairs close to each other.

An example? Inde Rose, the new collection that Jaipur Rugs has created in collaboration with the Indian designer Vinita Chaitanya.

The series consists of five pairs of coordinated rugs, each one focuses on the combination of two graphic elements, one main and the other that stands as its complement, highlighting it.

You can also place a modern living room rug away from any piece of furniture.

Contemporary carpets in the bedroom

Do you want to arrange a contemporary carpet in the bedroom?

In the case of a single large carpet, there are two alternatives:

• place it under the bed, excluding the area near the headboard and the tables, in order to make it the protagonist at the foot of the bed;
  
  
• place it directly at your feet, placing a small bench on it that you can use to store your favorite dressing gown or magazines.
  
  

If you're looking for an impactful visual and tactile relaxation, take a look at the West of the sun carpet that Lara Bohinc designed for Kasthall.

West of the sun carpet by Kasthall

A sophisticated graphic game of circles and curves, proposed in soft and relaxing colors, to evoke the purity of Zen gardens.

An evergreen and functional choice is to opt for two smaller rugs to be placed on the sides of the bed, which will make your steps warmer and more comfortable when you wake up.

Contemporary carpets in the transit area

For your corridors, the circulation areas or to connect one domestic environment to another, you can choose one of the folling models: shape and length depend on the square meters to be covered.

You can use a single effect model such as Okej's Pink Squiggle Rug, literally a pink wool scribble, proposed in two different sizes.
A graphic accent that will give a feminine touch to your home.

On the other hand, you can also overlap two-three or more textile elements; ideal for taking advantage of the modern rugs you already own, if you want to renew the look of a part of the house or give it more movement. The watchword is: experimentation!

With Sonya Winner's contemporary Happy Rug you will feel like you are walking on a rainbow: different shades and shapes chase each other and overlap to give life to new color combinations.

An exploit of colors that will make it more fun to move from one room to another, alone or in the company of the little ones, almost like a game.

Modern carpets at the entrance

You like the idea of welcoming guests by giving them a comfortable and original glance?

Place a contemporary round carpet or a singular shape at the entrance: an unusual and functional solution, which will not get in the way every time you open or close the door; the important thing is to choose it neither too big nor too small, in order to avoid visually reducing the spaces.

The Missoni Home Botanica carpet, in wool, with a great passion flower in vibrant tones will certainly not go unnoticed, on the contrary: it will bring a touch of spring to the home, all year round.

Do you want to give an exotic atmosphere to your home?

We are all one, the collection designed by Roberta Mari and Silvia Zylberman Pio for Carpet Edition, pays homage to the lifestyle of indigenous peoples, in particular, to that of the Kayapò, an ethnic group of Brazil.



The designs inspired by their body paintings, beautiful to look at and auspicious, fully reflect the spirit of the new modern carpets: real works of art to be discovered and admired with a downward look.
