It’s amazing how an area rug can instantly transform a space! From layering rugs with different textures to vintage-inspired patterns and prints, we’ve rounded up the latest area rug trends of 2021.

1. Washable Rugs

A rug that can be put in the washing machine? Yes, please! Washable rugs are becoming increasingly popular, and it's easy to see why. If you have a child or a pet, you can almost guarantee there are going to be accidents. Try adding one to your kitchen, living room, playroom, entryway or anywhere with lots of foot traffic.

2. The Layered Look

Can't decide on a pattern or texture? Have an heirloom rug that's just a little too small for your room? The layered rug look has become very popular in the last few years, and is a great way to have fun with textures and styles! Try a bold print over a neutral jute rug to cover more area without overpowering the space.

3. Vintage is New Again

Don't want to dish out thousands of dollars for a vintage rug? We feel you. Vintage-inspired rugs are a great budget-friendly alternative and look just like the real deal! Pair a perfectly faded rug with more modern furniture to keep this look fresh.
