Designer Rugs

Exclusive rugs for modern living spaces

Designer rugs are immediately recognizable by their craftsmanship. They cannot be compared to machine-made rugs. The key factors are the material, the processing, and the design. While a classic Oriental rug or a Persian rug often features solid patterns and traditional colors, designers today use the same knotting techniques but with entirely different ideas.

These rugs fit well in modern homes, even though they are made using traditional techniques. A beige rug appears understated and can be easily combined with many types of furniture.

For those who prefer something more striking, a black and white rug is a great choice, as it immediately catches the eye and brings clear lines into the room.

And for those looking for something special, a silk rug stands out with its surface alone.

What makes a designer rug special?

Materials: Wool carpet & silk carpet

The most common material is carpet wool. It keeps warm, is durable, and is suitable for rooms that are heavily used on a daily basis.

When silk is processed, the surface changes: it shines, feels smooth, and appears significantly more elegant. A carpet made with silk is less robust, but visually very high-quality.

In some carpets, wool and silk are mixed. When both materials are used, the carpet feels stable due to the wool. The silk adds a subtle sheen.

Craftsmanship and Quality

A designer rug is not produced by machine on an assembly line. Each knot is placed individually. Depending on the pattern, there can be hundreds of thousands of knots. This process takes weeks or even months. As a result, no two rugs are alike, and that is what makes each one unique.

Modern Rugs: Trends & Colors

Modern Rugs look very different today than they did in the past. Instead of relying solely on traditional ornaments, many simple shapes and calm colors can be found. A modern rug fits not only in the living room but also in the bedroom or dining room.

In terms of colors, many are in the neutral range. A beige rug looks simple, while a brown rug adds a bit more warmth. For those who like contrasts, a black and white rug is a great choice. It stands out immediately.

There are also many options when it comes to design. Sometimes geometric patterns, sometimes very plain surfaces. Such rug patterns look modern without making the room appear cluttered.

Many rug designers consciously work with this mix. Handcraft remains, but the design feels contemporary. This results in exclusive designer rugs that are both classically made and modern in design.

Oriental carpets and Persian rugs

Tradition and new ideas

An Oriental rug immediately stands out due to its patterns. Many are colorful, often featuring flowers or ornaments. Such rugs have been knotted for centuries, traditionally in bold reds or blues.

Today, lighter variants are also seen, which feel less heavy and fit better in modern rooms. The Persian rugs are particularly well-known. They come from Iran. Some appear very fine, like paintings. The basic patterns usually remain the same, but the colors change. Instead of deep red, there are now beiges or grays. There are several collections that mix tradition with new ideas. The Panbézia Persian rugs showcase familiar patterns but in calmer color schemes. The Horizon rugs feature soft color gradients, creating a more relaxed appearance. Thus, Oriental rugs and Persian rugs remain traditionally crafted but also complement contemporary decor.

Designer rugs for various living areas

A designer rug fits not only in a specific room but in almost every living area. It can visually unite furniture, break up open spaces, and instantly give a room more character. Whether in the living room, dining room, bedroom, or home office: with the wide selection of colors and materials, the perfect model can be found for every area. Many rug designers today consciously work with this variety and create exclusive designer rugs that are both functional and decorative.

Living room

A generous rug under the sofa and chairs creates harmony and connects the furniture. Light, neutral tones have a calming effect, while bold patterns add vibrancy to the space. Make sure the front legs of the sofa and chairs are on the rug to create a balanced overall look.

Dining room

In the dining room, things look a bit different. Chairs are moved back and forth, and the rug is subjected to much more wear. Therefore, wool rugs are particularly suitable here. They are durable, last a long time, and feel pleasant to the touch. When it comes to shape, it's worth considering the table. A rectangular rug fits better under a long table, while a round rug looks more harmonious under a round table. Beautiful examples are Sindhi rugs . They draw on traditional patterns but reinterpret them in new colors. This creates a connection to tradition that still feels modern.

Bedroom

The bedroom should usually be cozy and quiet. Some choose a silk rug here. Buyers often opt for Sadraa rugs as well. These models tend to be understated in color and thus fit into almost any bedroom. They appear simple, and the colors are usually muted. This allows them to blend into the bedroom without dominating the space.

Home office

A rug also makes sense in the home office. It softens the room's strictness and simultaneously dampens sounds. A rug with clear lines or simple shapes is practical. It structures the workspace without being distracting. Many rug designers deliberately choose neutral colors for the home office area. Gray or beige are non-distracting. In these colors, the rug brings calm to the office and softens the decor's severity.

Carpet Lines & Collections

Amazona Rugs

The Amazona Rugs come from India and Pakistan. They are inspired by classic Persian rugs, especially those with central medallions. However, Amazona intentionally simplifies the design. Colors are bleached, shapes are reduced, resulting in patterns that appear almost abstract. This collection is aimed at those who appreciate modern design while maintaining a connection to tradition. They are particularly well-suited for avant-garde interiors.

Sindhi

Sindhi Rugs draw on typical Persian patterns, but not to copy them. Instead, something new is created. The colors are clearer, the lines appear different, sometimes almost experimental. The inspiration is immediately recognizable, while a unique character emerges. In this way, Sindhi rugs bridge the gap between tradition and modern design.

Sadraa

At Sadraa Carpets , the ornaments immediately catch the eye. They stand out slightly, creating an almost three-dimensional effect. Some compare it to 3D, even though it is naturally woven. That’s exactly what makes it appealing – the carpet appears lively and not flat.

Arijana

At Arijana Rugs , design is clearly at the forefront. Color fields, lines, or abstract shapes define the image. They fit into homes where the rug makes an artistic statement, not just an addition.

Future Echo

The Future Echo collection is made from dense, hand-spun wool. The pile is high, about two centimeters, soft yet stable. Its patterns draw from nature, sometimes almost resembling landscapes, but are interpreted in a modern way. Such rugs feel luxurious and are pieces that one keeps for a long time.

Mila

Mila Rugs belong to the simple models. They are often beige, gray, or in soft earth tones. Some appear almost solid-colored. Patterns are only subtle, with small accents that are hardly noticeable. That is exactly what makes them versatile: they can be placed in the living room, as well as in the bedroom or the office. If you prefer a calm and understated look, Mila is the right choice.

Gabbeh

A Gabbeh rug comes from Persia and is considered one of the most original types of rugs. The patterns are simple: geometric shapes, symbols, or clear lines. Usually, only a few colors are used. This gives them an honest, almost archaic appearance. Each Gabbeh is hand-knotted and thus always a unique piece – robust enough for everyday use and simultaneously timeless in design.

Elysian

The Elysian Rugs are modern kilims, handwoven from high-quality wool. Sometimes their patterns resemble contemporary art. Nevertheless, they are created using ancient Persian weaving techniques. The flat structure makes them durable, while they also appear light and colorful. This creates an exciting mix: traditional craftsmanship like that of Oriental rugs, but with a distinctly modern design.

Lunara

Lunara Rugs immediately stand out with their shine. Many are made of bamboo silk, while others are blends with wool or viscose. The surface is soft, almost shimmering. When light falls on them, the impression changes – sometimes lighter, sometimes darker. This is exactly what makes these pieces so appealing. In living or bedrooms, they can easily become the centerpiece, even if the rest of the decor remains simple.

Texura

The Texura collection brings variety. Some models are flat-woven like classic kilims, while others have a height of over two centimeters. They are all handcrafted. From a distance, many appear almost monochromatic, but upon closer inspection, one can see textures and subtle color nuances. Thus, Texura models belong to the modern rugs that emphasize restraint, yet reveal their sophistication upon a second glance.

Tips for Selection & Care

Size

When it comes to rugs, proportion is key. A rug that is too small feels lost, while one that is too large overwhelms the space. In the living room, it's good if the sofa and chairs have their front legs on the rug, while in the dining room, you should consider that the chairs need enough space to be pulled back.

Care

Dust is best vacuumed up regularly. It's best to address the area immediately, gently dab it, and avoid rubbing. For larger stains, it's better to leave it to a professional. This way, the carpet will stay beautiful for a long time.

Value and Sustainability

Many exclusive designer rugs retain their value for years, especially hand-knotted pieces. Additionally, more and more manufacturers are focusing on natural colors and fair production. Those who pay attention to this not only get a beautiful piece but also a good feeling when making a purchase.

Tips for Integrating into Different Living Styles

A designer rug never looks good in a space on its own. With the right color and pattern, it can adapt to almost any style of decor.

Boho Style:

Many opt for colorful modern rugs here. Bold patterns, combined with rattan, plants, and cushions in various fabrics, create a relaxed, almost playful atmosphere.

Modern Classic:

In simply furnished rooms, a modern rug with clean lines works particularly well. For more contrast, add a black and white rug – it draws attention without making the room feel cluttered.

Classic Elegant:

Persian rugs or other exclusive designer rugs fit perfectly here. Made of wool and silk, they look luxurious and complement dark woods or upholstered furniture. This keeps the room elegant yet cozy.

Scandinavian:

The Scandinavian style thrives on brightness. A beige rug or a simple wool rug enhances this effect. Clear shapes, minimal patterns, but warmth and tranquility.

Oriental-inspired:

An oriental rug doesn't have to look old. By pairing it with modern furniture and incorporating colors from the rug into cushions or curtains, a contemporary look is created. Tradition and modernity go hand in hand.
