Incorporating Oriental Rugs into Modern Decor

If you’re looking for a creative way to update the decor of your home, one option to consider is an Oriental rug. They’re slightly different than Persian rugs while still offering an amazing sense of beauty and style. And, as a bonus, they can fit into just about any room in your home. Here are a few ways to incorporate Oriental rugs into modern décor.

Trending Styles

With the way our society moves, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with trending styles. However, one of the great things about Oriental rugs is that you can incorporate them easily with multiple décor styles. 

For example, some popular wall paint colors include light gray, green, and blue. You can get a brightly colored Oriental rug to contrast these colors, or you can stick to a neutral-toned option to create a classy, understated effect.

Contrasting Colors

Let’s look at the first of those: contrasting colors. Many homeowners are of the assumption that everything has to match exactly. Many believe that if you have a gray couch, you can only have similar tones on your walls and decor.

Let’s go with that assumption for a moment. Picture that same gray couch with sand-colored walls. Now, mentally add a vibrant red Oriental rug to the space. Suddenly, it acts as a conversation piece, standing out from the rest of your room while feeling perfectly at home.

Unique Patterns

On the other hand, you may want to go with a lighter-colored rug to blend in with the rest of your living or dining room. This is a perfectly valid choice, too. However, if your room has a minimalist design, a “busier” Oriental rug with a complex pattern can have the same effect as what we just described.

Oriental rugs often tell a story. So while you might not want a vibrantly colored rug in your home, one that has meaning in its design or complexity can enhance the aesthetic of your room.

Using Rugs as the Starting Point

Another way to incorporate Oriental rugs into modern decor is to use them as a starting point for your home update. You might not know what kind of couch or loveseat or even the type of wall decor you want to go with. Perhaps you’re even stumped with what color (or colors) would work best on your walls.

In these cases, you can use an Oriental rug as a starting point. Purchase it first, and then design the rest of your modern decor around it.

Making It the Centerpiece

Finally, you can use it as the proverbial bow on the package of your decor. Some homeowners will use an Oriental rug to cover the entire sitting area in their living room. Others will buy one that’s slightly smaller, only allowing the front legs of their furniture to sit on the rug’s edge. Both are valid options and make the rug act as your room’s centerpiece.
