Rug Trends in 2021

With the pandemic keeping us at home, we’re noticing the décor around us more than ever. The combination of money saved on things like travel and dining out and wanting to enjoy our environment has motivated many to spend money on their homes.

We see this change to the way we’ve been living our lives reflected in popular trends. Formal interior design is being abandoned in favor of a laid-back, comfortable approach. The longer we stay at home, the more we notice the need to redecorate or change a few things. The functional nature of rugs is a larger driving factor behind purchases than ever before.

Size Trends

One trend we see is an increase in the sale of runners and smaller rugs. Runners make hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms cozier by providing padding and a pop of color. Small rugs may be used as accent pieces. While runners and small accent rugs are more popular than ever before, demand for extra large rugs increased as well. Design sources and our own sales confirm that these are the sizes of rugs that people are choosing for the new “everyday” approach to living.

Outdoor Floor Coverings

Our backyards have become a safe-haven to hang out and relax. Outdoor rugs that withstand the elements make our decks, patios, and porches look a bit more chic and intimate. The most common materials for outdoor floor coverings include polypropylene and polyester.

Colors and Patterns

We’re seeing a shift from traditional design to designs that are a bit less elaborate, such as transitional and modern rugs. Rugs pull together all the design elements of the room. Our suppliers note that neutrals, which have been popular for a few years now, remain a design favorite. Grays, taupes, beiges, and charcoals are popular, especially in warmer shades. Designers looking for a pop of color gravitate towards rich blues and greens. Check out some rugs that are proving to be popular this year in our gallery.

Final Thoughts

Our rugs experienced more wear and foot traffic last year and that trend doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon. Rugs need to be washed professionally every three to five years. If your rugs look a bit lackluster from increased traffic and use, call Behnam Rugs to schedule cleaning and sanitization.

We carry a varied selection, including runners, extra-large rugs, and small accent rugs, in a range of colors and designs so you’re sure to find something you love. Whether you want to follow the trends for 2021, or stick with pieces that are more traditional, Behnam Rugs is determined to ensure you leave with a rug that fits your design needs and budget.
