Top 10 rugs to transform your floor

The ultimate expression of form and function, rugs can bring colour and texture to a space, as well as warmth underfoot. Move over gallery walls, 2022 is all about gallery floors.

Never underestimate the power of a rug. Throw down an area a rug over a sad, stained carpet in your rental flat and voila, fresh new space. Layer up a couple of patterned pieces to switch up your home’s colour palette. Rugs are the key living room accessory, and there are so many gorgeous ways to style them to suit your space.

The 10 exciting high street rugs below are everyday works of art.

2- 2LG Hand-Tufted Wool Rug- Made.com – £385

Clever curves, retro influences and soft colours – this hand-tufted wool rug is about as dreamy as it gets. It was created in collaboration with 2LG and we love the geometric design and abstract details. Floor art? This is how you do it.

I love the unique shape of this rug. It almost has a 3D effect to it.

3- Humiya Hand-Tufted Wool Rug- Made.com – £365

Bold botanical leaves, energising colours and a hand-tufted wool finish – Humiya’s got it all.

As I mentioned before, colour blocking is huge in interior design at the moment. And rugs are no exception. Why not pair this rug with a neutral sofa and colourful cushions to make a design statement. At £110 for a 120x170cm rug, this is a steal!
