No ornament and no diamonds. Just surface. An abstract rug shows areas and brushstrokes that blend into each other, like a painting you cannot name straight away.
Almost every design here is machine-woven in Turkey. Holly Zen is handwoven in India, and its pattern comes from different pile heights rather than colour.
Grey dominates, with beige and sand alongside. Living is the exception, with its blue and red, and it brings more life to a pale room than any of the others. With so few colours, the pattern does the work.
Marble, viscose or relief?
Each line has its own character.
- Marble, a grey marble effect in acrylic and polypropylene
- Achat, silvery areas like a cut stone
- Living, with blurred blue and red in a vintage style
- Noah, beige, with viscose and a slight sheen
- Liyath, in grey with black, also with viscose
- Holly Zen, relief in cream or grey, also round
An abstract rug in the lounge
The pattern lives on its surface, so leave enough of it on show and keep the coffee table off the centre. Marble suits smooth furniture and concrete. With wood, Noah's warm beige sits well beside oak and walnut. Viscose does not like water, so blot a spill straight away with a damp cloth and let it air-dry. More ideas are on rugs for living room, more grey on grey rug, other textures on 3d rug and plain flat designs on low pile rug.
