Top 6 Types of Statement Rugs from Rug Source

Did you know that rugs can make a great statement piece in your home? There are many ways to do this: setting a bold and beautiful runner under your dining table, hanging it as a tapestry on the wall, the list goes on. We could spend a lot of time unpacking how the bold design of a rug can transform your space. However, we’re instead going to look at six categories and how they make great statement pieces!

Classic Antique Rugs

The first type of rug that can make a great statement piece in your home is an antique rug. To be antique, a rug must be at least 100 years old (otherwise, it would fall into the category of vintage). This means that an antique rug will incorporate a much older design language, and often this can act as a strong contrast to modern minimalism. 

Durable Turkish Rugs

Did you know that Turkish Rugs are known for being long-lasting? That’s because they use many of the same high-grade materials as other rugs from the Rug Belt. Culturally, however, a Turkish Rug will embrace elements of the historic Ottoman Empire. This means that they include both bold designs as well as significant imagery that can help make a statement piece for your room.

Creative Modern & Abstract Rugs

Looping back to the idea of modern home trends, abstract rugs (sometimes called modern rugs) are a popular option. While these will often lack some of the historical or cultural details of the other types of rugs on our list today, that doesn’t mean they’re any less effective at making a statement piece in your home.

Timeless Shag Rug

We’ve recently covered a few interesting topics surrounding shag rugs, including how to care for them and reasons they are a great investment. However, if you read between all of those lines, it’s also another way of saying that a shag rug can make an excellent statement piece! They’re somewhat of a throwback to an earlier era of U.S. history but can be equally as impactful as any other rug on this list.

Historied Persian & Oriental Rugs

Both Persian and Oriental Rugs are distinct rug categories, yet their similarities are why we’re mentioning them together.

Persian and Oriental Rugs both include similar design languages, including hand-knotting weaving techniques, vegetable dyes, and regional-specific patterns. Persian Rugs are known for their geometric designs while Oriental Rugs often include a large central medallion.

However, both rugs are great statement pieces and can bring a bold design to your home.
