Add design to your floor with a stylish contemporary rug

Rugs are great for adding an extra layer of warmth to your floor – something cosy to pop your feet on as you get out of bed in the morning – or to help take the cold away underfoot from wooden flooring or tiles during the colder months. Plus rugs are perfect for adding colour, pattern or design to a room. You can tie them in with existing decor schemes, or make them a focal point in their own right.

There are loads of different rug designs and styles on the market, but here are four stylish rug ideas that caught our eye.

If you love the geometric design trend, but don’t want to be overwhelmed by it, then this large Peto wool rug might have just the right balance for you.

It features a stylish geometric triangle design in a mix of bright colours and can be used to coordinate with other home accessories. It’s made from hand tufted wool and measures 170 x 240cm. The Peto rug is available from Habitat – order it now, and you can make a considerable saving, as there’s currently 30% off.

Also with a geometrical design, but this time a tad bolder, the Mirina rug by Linie Design is hand woven from wool. The soft colour palette brings to life the abstract interlocking triangles.

Measuring 160 x 230cm in size, the Mirina rug costs £365 from Heal’s.

If it’s a touch of luxurious warmth and cosiness that you’re after, then you can’t go wrong with a sheepskin rug. What’s more, if you’re into Scandi or Nordic interior design schemes, then it’s a key piece to own.

This double sheepskin rug is in a lovely natural ivory colour. It’s £70 from John Lewis.

Kilim rugs have been back in trend for a while – this one is really attractive, with its soft colour palette and diamond design.

The diamond Kilim rug is available in two sizes – medium, 170 x 120cm and large, 230 x 160cm – and is priced from £139 at M&S.
