Try mixing contrasting colours, go wild, remember as a child letting your imagination run away with you? bright and bold, from to fiery red, to soft blue, stars, stripes spots, flowers geometrics, patterns are for you, express yourself!
However if you are not feeling that brave or think you might have a change of décor in a year or two or possibly even moving house and you want something which will cover all bases go for soft, luxurious plains or naturals such as Seagrass, Sisal, Coir or Jute. Earthy, organic natural and eco friendly this trend never goes out of fashion and endures year after year.
Geometric patterns are really defining at the moment. And the good thing with geometric patterned area rugs is that they are very likely to remain fashionable much longer than other designs. After all, they have been around forever, and they are likely to stay around forever.
Flat-woven rugs are also in! … they are not only practical but also look great if the rest of the decoration is appropriately aligned. Also, in some settings (when dogs are regulars in your living rooms) a flat-woven rug will make your life so much easier.
