Rugs are some of the hardest pieces to buy for an interior. Do you want a neutral flatweave underfoot? Or something that will add a pop of personality and color to your space? It's a tough decision, and the latter option is always riskier. Yet, when the right rug is rolled out, a bold, patterned, or textured weave can transform a room. So, how do you pick the 'right' rug?
As someone who's experienced first-hand rug remorse after buying a bold design before, I know how hard it is to pick a print. John Lewis is a good place to start, though. During a recent scroll, I spotted this Odin Geometric Hand Woven Rug; it reminded me of a certain rug trend I've been seeing in interiors. Geometric rugs have taken on a more playful and relaxed identity. Instead of prints that are overstimulating or a bit too optical illusion-y, modern geometric rugs feel a bit more 'lived-in'. For instance, the Odin rug is colorful, but the palette includes strong nature-inspired shades and muted tones, which makes it much more liveable.
