Rugs add warmth, texture, and interest to any room and can maintain the balance of an assortment of decorative elements. It may be used to cover floors but most importantly, it’s an easy way to add flair to any room. Investing in a good-quality rug elevates your bedroom, living areas, or outdoor nooks.

There are a variety of types, sizes, and designs you can choose from for your home refresh. Here are a few of the premium choices of area rugs that you’ll love and want to have at home.

Artfully distressed

Any artistic area rug can change a room’s overall aesthetic. A Crate and Barrel exclusive, the Erria Black Rug is made of pure wool with a cotton back. Designed by Australian designer Mariella Ienna, the rug brings modern and minimalist beauty to your space. 

What’s more appealing is its black and white palette that would perfectly contrast with an all-white interior. Its asymmetrical patterns, timeless chevrons, and Swiss crosses complement its rugged flatweave surface, making this area rug hard not to notice.

Hand-knotted craft

If you are looking for a handmade carpet or rug, go for a unique artisan piece such as Cortada Wool Patterned Beige Rug. This hand-knotted area rug highlights the craftsmanship of highly-skilled artisans with its intricate yet bold line designs.

Made in India, it plays with a range of warm neutrals like beige that adds drama to any space in your home. It is best paired with wooden elements, light earth tones, or dark hues. 

Warm abstract

Abstract wool rugs never go out of style when decorating a space, and one can never go wrong with a warm-colored rug. The Birch Terra Cotta Wool-Blend Abstract Rug displays a variety of earth tones that mirror the unique bark patterns of a birch tree.

Compared to hand-knotted rugs, this was made from a blend of wool and rayon using the hand tufting technique. It is the perfect piece for rooms with lots of wooden elements as it creates a focal point and draws your eyes to its sophisticated ridged pattern.

Subtle neutral

A hand-loomed area rug is an ideal piece to have at home. The Crate and Barrel exclusive Paularo Distressed Neutral Rug gives off a relaxed yet elegant vibe to any room. 

Its distressed finish, neutral palette, and subtle design of intersecting lines bring a sense of calmness. Place it in a room with minimal elements and anchor the space with its delicate texture and subtle design.

Rich in detail

To transform any indoor or outdoor space, bring in a floor rug rich in patterns, detail, and colors. The Inavi Blue Indoor/Outdoor Rug is the perfect combination of traditional and modern elements with its deep blue dye, hints of coral, and tonal grey that draw a summer-like charm to family rooms, foyers, or balconies.

For those who are living a sustainable lifestyle, this handwoven rug is a perfect choice as it is made of polyester yarn created from plastic bottles. Aside from its durable and water-resistant material, you'll also appreciate its textured details, soft wool material, and fringed sides.

Basic care for every rug

An extra tip before deciding to purchase an area rug: it is important to know that each type of rug requires different care instructions. Professional upholstery cleaning is recommended for flatweaves, hand-loomed, hand-knotted, and hand-tufted rugs, while handwoven rugs may need washing, rinsing, and vacuuming care. It is also ideal to get rug pads for efficient grip on any type of flooring you have. All of these you’ll have to keep in mind to keep your rugs in style.
