Non-traditional rug styles allow you to use classic wool and
nylon materials in new ways. This is the perfect option if
you have a dark wood floor or cement versions and a basic
Oriental rug would clash. Stores like Chiasso and CB2 sell
unique rugs. Here are five non traditional rug styles:
1. Stone Rugs
The look of stones and natural pebbles brings in a modern
vibe because of the gray and black color palette. You can
also get stone rugs that feature felt shapes for this same
look.
2. Metallic Rugs
Metallic is a big trend in contemporary home decor but
usually you see it on appliances, countertops or tile
instead of flooring. A metallic fabric border can add a fun
element to just a plain sisal rug. You can also see a lot of
high shine nylon rugs that mimic silver.
3. Unusual Shapes
Rugs don't have to be squares, rectangles or ovals. Instead
look for one with a scalloped edge that can even mimic
floral petals.
4. Monogram Rugs
Monogram rugs take a very traditional idea but use it in a
totally new way. These bath mats make plush wedding
presents. You can also find rubber or coir versions that are
suitable for outdoor use.
5. Unusual Kids Rugs
You can also bring unusual rugs into kids’ rooms. Keep it
sophisticated with a simple stripe design. While traditional
for the rest of the home, it's a more sophisticated way to
work with a pastel color palette.
