Modern rugs belong in a modern home

The interior of your home is very important. The atmosphere your interior exudes says something about your own identity and should put visitors at ease. If you have a modern interior with beautiful modern furniture and clean colours, it is desirable that your floor also fits this style. Rugs can help give the interior the desired atmosphere. Today, there are many modern rugs that can fit seamlessly into a modern interior.

Large selection of modern rugs

Many people nowadays choose to furnish a house in a modern way. A modern rug fits in with that. The demand for modern rugs is therefore high. This automatically ensures that the supply of modern rugs is huge. A rug has different properties and each rug has its own characteristics.

Style, pattern and colour

A modern style is not characterised by just one colour or one motif. In fact, the colour and pattern can vary enormously, but still create a modern look. When looking for modern rugs, it is useful to decide in advance what you are looking for, before you lose your way in the jungle of available rugs. Both the colour and the style of the rug are very decisive for its appearance. Modern rugs are available in many combinations of colours. From warm, soft, dark colours (e.g. burgundy and dark greys) to bouncy bright colours (e.g. green and yellow), it’s all available. The pattern of the rug also says a lot about the look. If your home has a tighter but calmer look, a rug that doesn’t have too many frivolities will suit it. In that case, you can opt for a plain rug or one with calm stripes (this also depends on the colour). In a home that exudes creativity and playfulness, a rug with a slightly busier pattern might look better. For example, you could opt for a floral pattern or a modern rug with circles. By the way, it does not mean that every rug with a floral motif is a busy and playful rug; there are floral motifs that actually radiate calm and warmth.

Low price and customised dimensions

Just because a rug is placed in the ‘modern’ category does not necessarily mean that the rug is expensive. Modern rugs are very affordable. The price depends (logically) on the size of the rug, but also on the material and brand. The sizes of modern rugs vary widely. For example, you can buy a rug that is only 60 by 90 centimetres. Needless to say, these modern rugs are not pricey; they are available from as little as 25 pounds. For larger rooms, there are rugs that cover many (square) metres, there are even rugs that are almost 3 by 4 metres. Prices of these rugs start at 189 pounds but can reach thousands of pounds.

How much time do you spend on maintenance?

Many modern rugs do not absorb much dust, this saves a lot of work for the owner of the modern rug. For thin rugs, it is often enough to use a hoover every now and then to remove the dust from the rug. Be sure to keep up with this, it is recommended to do this at least once a week. When the rug is thicker, vacuuming alone is not enough. In this case, you can use a mat beater to knock all the dust out of the rug. To combat stains, you can use cleaning products. But in our view, preventing stains is a much better idea. Our stain protector + cleaning agent has already saved many rugs from destruction.

Which modern rug best suits your interior?

Every interior is different and there are many different modern rugs. The trick is to find the right rug for your interior. First of all, the colour of the rug should match the room where it will be placed. You can opt for a rug in the same style as the rest of the room, but in many cases it is also nice to choose contrasting colours. Especially in a modern interior, this can give a fresh and trendy effect. However, colour choice should not be the only consideration when buying a modern rug. For instance, there are also differences in material and thickness. Check beforehand whether you prefer a thick or low-pile rug and what kind of fabric you prefer.

High pile versus low pile; thick versus thin

A thick rug differs considerably from a low-pile carpet. They both have their advantages. Depending on the things you find important, you can choose which carpet suits your home best. Thick rugs are high pile and therefore very suitable in homes where children live. Indeed, soft, thick high-pile rugs are great for walking or lying on. Moreover, you fall softly when you trip. In terms of look and feel, thick rugs are more ‘present’. As a result, the thick rug is always a real addition to your interior. The more subtle low-pile rugs generally stand out less, as they are lighter and take up less space. Yet they are also available in bright colours, so they can still make their mark on the interior of your room. A big advantage of low-pile rug is the fact that it is easy to maintain. It is thin, allowing little or no dust to soak into the rug. Dirt stays on the surface, making it easy to remove.
