Get the Perfect Modern Rugs for Your Living Room

 

Give your living room a complete makeover with Modern Rugs

We're always looking for new ways to dress up our living room decor that are both simple and modern. If you only have one item to add to make a big impact in your space, an area rug is a great option. Modern rugs in your living room can bring all of your accent colors together, add patterns to a neutral color palette, or soften sharp edges in a contemporary space.

Things to keep in mind while buying a modern rug for a living room-

Size: Make sure the rug is the right size for the room.
Color: Your new rug should include at least two of your accent colors.
Comfort: Select a rug that appeals to you, but make sure it is comfortable to walk on.

Here are some lovely living room rug ideas to get you started:

1. Fashion a seaside vibe with a stunning blue rug.

The good news is that almost every rug style is nearly neutral, with color over pattern taking precedence.

When looking for a new living room rug, measure your seating area to ensure it will fit. Most designers recommend covering a conversation area with a large rug and anchoring the space with the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug. Rug designs are so versatile and adaptable that they can combine it with any style of decoration, as long as the color is kept muted.

A beach-themed living room is simple to create. Choose a light neutral color such as beige, grey, or white, as well as airy carpeting in ocean blues. Soft stripes or flowers on it would be a better choice for a living room makeover.

2. The superb beginning for a hip mid-century modern living room:

The bright colors and clean lines of mid-century modern design appeal to us. Area rugs can be used to incorporate bright colors into almost any decor style. Look for a lively pattern in your mid-century design instead of a colorful pattern in your area rug. The West Elm Abrash rug adds a muted graphic print to your living room, drawing attention to your beautiful furniture.

3. Use modern rugs to harmonize your living and dining room style

We adore open floor plans that seamlessly blend the dining and living rooms to create a warm environment. With open floor plans, finding a way to connect two living spaces while maintaining their identities is a challenge. The right dining room rug will give your living room a cohesive but distinct look. Whether you choose a common color for each rug or completely different patterns in the same color, hue is the simplest way to connect your two rooms.

4. Physical rugs don’t have to be repetitive

The West Elm Mineral Rug in Copper is inspired by molten metal’s and makes a strong statement in any living space. You could easily base your color scheme around a statement rug like this, or use it as a trendy living room accent.

5. A traditional rug with a modern twist

A living room designed in a repetitive style may become boring and tired over time. Choosing contemporary decor is a simple way to achieve a long-lasting look. Yes, even if you're decorating a traditional room, you can do this. Subtle changes to your main style can help your living room stand out. Look for rugs with traditional colors and contemporary motifs, such as Pottery Barn's Bosworth rug. For maximum utility, a weathered pattern is used.

The worn trend in area rugs is not only appealing but also useful. Colors that might otherwise overpower your space are muted in this style. The West Elm Lapis rug is a subtle blend of blue, grey, and teal. Softly faded patterns are especially well-suited to bohemian and beach-inspired design, but their true strength lies in their ability to blend in with any decorating style.
