We hang art on our walls, buy sculptures, and invest in design-forward furniture. But what about our floors? Devoid of artistry! Abstract rugs bring the painterly brilliance we love about artwork and the creativity of a well-chosen architectural chair to a grander scale, anchoring a room with artistic flair.
Some people are hesitant to take the plunge — after all, the word 'abstract' can conjure up some quirky images. ‘An abstract rug can dramatically shift the look of a room,’ admits interior designer Nina Lichtenstein, but it’s nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, introducing bold patterns and unexpected color combinations with an abstract rug can ‘act as a focal point’ and ‘help unify disparate elements within a space, tying together different colors and textures to create a cohesive look.’
