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.

Is 160 x 230 cm the right size?

A 160 x 230 cm rug measures roughly 5 ft 3 in by 7 ft 7 in and covers about 3.7 square metres. In a living room, a common guideline is to leave 30 to 60 cm of floor between the rug and the walls, which suggests a room of roughly 2.2 x 2.9 m to 2.8 x 3.5 m. Its 230 cm length sits comfortably in front of a sofa up to about 200 cm wide (allowing about 15 cm of rug beyond each end). Placed across the lower two-thirds of a bed, it leaves at least 40 cm of rug on each side of a UK double or UK king bed. It is generally too small to sit under a dining table with the chairs, which needs about 60 cm of rug beyond the table on every side.

Care and cleaning

The care instructions given by the makers of these rugs include: "Vacuum with suction only (no beater bar)" (20 designs); "Spot clean only" (2 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. It is less springy than wool and can crush under heavy furniture.

How many abstract rugs in 160 x 230 cm does Rug Kingdom sell?

As of 25 October 2026 we list 85 abstract rugs in 160 x 230 cm, including Matrix 102 Signature Rug in Indigo, Matrix 103 Signature Rug in Moss and Matrix 104 Signature Rug in Ochre. Our range changes, so the product pages show what is currently available.

What are abstract rugs in 160 x 230 cm made from?

By material, this selection includes Polypropylene (33), Polyester (23), Polypropylene & polyester (18) and Recycled polyester (11). Polypropylene (also called olefin) is a hard-wearing synthetic fibre that is solution-dyed, so the colour runs right through the fibre and resists fading and bleaching.
