Choosing abstract and modern rugs

Abstract and modern rugs use brushstrokes, colour washes, marbling and freeform shapes instead of repeating motifs. They suit contemporary rooms and can tie together a palette of sofa, cushions and art. Because the pattern is irregular, they hide marks and wear well, and they work in both open-plan living rooms and bedrooms.

Rugs in the living room

In a living room, a common guideline is to choose a rug large enough for at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs to sit on it, which joins the seating into one group. Leave roughly 30 to 60 cm of floor showing between the rug and the walls. Too small a rug is the most common mistake and makes a room look disjointed.

Care and cleaning

The care instructions given by the makers of these rugs include: "Vacuum with suction only (no beater bar)" (26 designs); "Hand washable" (12 designs); "Use a suction-only vacuum cleaner" (9 designs). Vacuum regularly, ideally with a suction-only head or with the beater bar raised for deeper piles, and blot spills straight away from the outside in rather than rubbing. Always follow the care label on the product page, and test any cleaner on a hidden corner first. Blends like this are common in machine-woven designs where fine pattern detail and easy care matter.
