Have you ever had something that couldn’t quite be classified? If so, you may have  said it had an \u201cabstract\u201d meaning or design. Likewise, in the rug industry, we define  rugs that are less representative of real designs as Abstract. They often incorporate  geometric shapes, marbleized patterns<\/a>, and splashes of color that might resemble  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

tossed paint. They\u2019re also incredibly stylish, beautiful, and complimentary of various  types of rooms and home decor choices. So how do you care for an Abstract Rug<\/a>  exactly? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract Rugs vs more traditional styles <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Persian, Oriental<\/a>, and Turkish rugs<\/a> all have similarities that help them stand out from  other types of rug designs. And while they have their similarities, they are all unique  enough to fall within their own distinctive categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Persian rugs<\/a> are symmetrical with motifs such as medallions, geometric  patterns, tribal patterns, and even religious symbolism. Oriental rugs often incorporate  floral and animal life into the design while Turkish rugs incorporate color choices based  on various characteristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract Rugs<\/a> have a sense of modernism to them. They may be geometric-focused or  feel like someone used it as a test canvas for their paint. They can evoke paradoxes or  be completely random. They have no defined design characteristics other than the lack  of uniformity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how are Abstract Rugs made? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional rugs<\/a> \u2014 Persian, Oriental, and Turkish \u2014 are defined by their hand-woven  nature. Abstract Rugs, on the other hand, may be hand-made or they may also be  produced on a machine. This means that they don’t have uniform sizes, piles, or even  choices of materials.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, like their design, the common factor here is, in fact, a lack of uniformity. How does  one care for an Abstract Rug<\/a> then? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to care for an Abstract Rug <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by vacuuming your Abstract Rug at least once a week. The longer that pet  dander, dirt, and dust are allowed to embed themselves in the rug the harder they will  be to clean. Use a rug protector under any area that will be under furniture \u2014 this will  help prolong its life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotating the rug can help minimize the impact of traffic patterns on the rug while  brushing it can help to remove hair from it as well. Cleaning up any spills immediately  will help to prevent staining and always consider placing a rug pad under it. Finally, if  you choose to machine wash, always check the label to ensure it can withstand it.  Otherwise, use a light cleaner and spot clean it as necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract Rugs are a great way to finish your room design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone interested in a futuristic style has eclectic taste or an appreciation for fashion  will most likely lean toward Abstract Rug designs<\/a> for their home. And remember that  way you care for an Abstract Rug will often depend on how it was made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
