Modern & Contemporary Area Rugs by Rug Goddess
Modern and Contemporary area rugs are one of the hottest home decor accessories today.
Contemporary rugs are inspired by Twentieth-century decorative and fine arts. These modern rugs feature all the colors of the rainbow and are crafted with the same high-quality construction as the finest rugs in the world. Today's contemporary area rugs resemble some of the finest examples of modern art, or what we call floor art. From bold primaries to soft neutrals, these rugs use bold designs.
There are four subcategories of contemporary area rugs or modern area rugs: Geometric Area Rugs, Abstract Area Rugs, Organic Area Rugs, and Custom Contemporary Area Rugs.
Geometric area rugs, as the name suggests, are geometric in style and include symmetrical patterns utilizing straight lines to create “architecturally” pleasing patterns to the eye. These area rugs come in a variety of types, including Wool, synthetic, cotton, and even acrylic. These patterns are particularly effective when shown in various shapes of rugs, such as octagonal, square, and rectangular rugs.
Abstract area rugs are rugs with asymmetrical patterns. These artistic area rugs reflect the best modern art of the last century. When choosing an abstract area rug, you should pick one similarly to how you choose an abstract painting. It is said that true art stirs an unconscious feeling inside of you. These contemporary area rugs are the most eclectic of rug designs. They are particularly effective in round rugs, runners, or smaller rectangles as accent rugs.
Organic area rugs are best thought of as the flip version of geometric in that the pattern is also symmetrical; however, the execution of the design is with curvilinear lines. Most of these patterns derive their source from the classic period of tapestries popular in Europe. These rugs induce a sense of tranquility and ease while easily tying together a wide band of contemporary furnishings. These patterns are particularly appealing in round, runner, and oval rugs.
