Art for the floor

Abstract rugs treat the floor like a canvas: sweeping brushstrokes, marbled veins, soft colour washes and loose organic shapes. Unlike a geometric pattern, an abstract has no strict repeat, so it is forgiving to place and hides everyday marks well. Many of ours are machine woven in polypropylene and polyester blends with a soft, medium pile, and some add carved or space-dyed yarns for depth.

How to style an abstract rug

  • Pull two colours from the rug for cushions, a throw or artwork to tie the scheme together.
  • Keep the rest of the room calm and let the rug lead.
  • Neutral abstracts (cream, beige, grey) suit Scandi and Japandi rooms; see cream and grey rugs.

Questions about abstract rugs

Are abstract rugs a good idea with children?

Yes. The irregular pattern disguises small marks, and our machine-woven synthetic abstracts are easy to clean.

Can I use an abstract rug with a traditional room?

A muted, painterly abstract can sit well in a traditional room as a deliberate contrast.

What is a marble rug?

A rug whose pattern imitates the veining of marble, usually soft grey, cream or green lines across a pale ground.
