What Makes The Perfect Abstract Rug

In all aspects of interior design, consumers are increasingly seeking not only high functionality but also high style, taking every opportunity to incorporate beautiful unique items in their homes – personal items that lift their spirits day in and day out. In response to this new mindset, designers must focus on aesthetics to turn practical objects into works of art. The designer rug industry is no different and over time artists and craftspeople have honed their skills to create new styles of modern rugs that follow the latest trend in interior design – abstract rugs.

What you should pay attention to in the abstract rug

Many colors

The more shades of color used in an abstract rug design, the more gradual the color change and the more 'painted' the finished rug will be. This doesn't mean that the rug has to be "colorful," but that there should be lots of different shades in each section. A good abstract design uses between 20 and 50 dyes. Additional "organic" color changes can also be made using the abrasive technique. Blended wool is spun into yarn that provides a variety of colors when dyed.

Smart design

Abstract designs can be formed from computer drawings or paintings. In general, the more the design process is done manually rather than driven by machines, the more attractive the final product will be. However, computer processing is an important part of the design process as it simplifies the design down to the number of colors that can be set and the level of detail that can be woven. This needs to be done carefully, otherwise the finished design will look blocked or pixelated.

It takes a lot of skill to create a successful abstract design.

Good quality material

The finest modern rugs are made of high quality natural materials such as wool, rich in lanolin and genuine Chinese silk. Combining more than one type of yarn or using silk elements give the carpet a more flowing finish when light shines from the surface. Abstract rugs can be made entirely of Chinese silk, but are expensive for this type of rug. Many retailers use artificial silk, such as bamboo silk, which is cheaper but has a reputation for being very difficult to clean.

character in texture

Handcrafted and handcrafted rugs have a slightly irregular surface structure. While this is a characteristic of all hand-knotted rugs, it is especially true for rugs made of hand-carded and hand-spun yarn. Some abstract designs may also include hand-carved high and low pile threads, adding a more specific texture that, while not essential, can add an extra dimension to the design.

 How to incorporate abstract rugs into your home

One of the great attractions of abstract rug designs is how easy it is to blend into modern interiors. Many homeowners tend to opt for a neutral-colored wall and window upholstery and decor, and when combined in a single room design, the room may be in dire need of color. In this situation, a solid color rug or solid color can become too unbearable and feel separate from the rest of the furniture.

This is where abstract design presents itself. Many of these designs combine beige and gray with soft colors to create a subtle touch of color. Shades can be selected from this design and used in other parts of the room.
