Trending Rug Styles in 2020

Today I’m sharing with you some interesting Trending Rug Styles in 2020. Thankfully, area rugs will continue to be a key component of interior design, which is great not only for us but for you as well.  Think of an area rug as art for your floor.  Striking prints, dynamic hues, and a mix of textures can make for a show-stopping style that changes the look and feel of any room with any kind of flooring.

#1  Ikat Design

The Ikat design will be big in 2020. Ikat is a resist-dyeing technique where the threads used for weaving are dyed beforehand. The Ikat threads are bound in a pattern so that the threads covered by the binding “resist” the dye, which forms into a pattern. A characteristic of Ikat rugs is a ‘blurriness’ that is the result of the extreme difficulty that traditional Indonesian hand-weavers had in creating perfect patterns using the dyed yarns in their rugs. This blurriness came to be seen not as a flaw, but as a defining feature of ikat rugs.

#2  Layered Rugs 

The next stylish trend is layering your rugs.  Although you might be hesitant to try this new trend, the options and results can be unlimited. Room-sized rugs (9’x12′ and above) can be on the expensive side, but if you opt for the smaller version of your dream rug, you can easily layer it atop a more reasonably priced natural woven rug for a cost-friendly option that achieves a similar look.
