20+ Geometric Rugs for all budgets

Geometric rugs are having a little moment. It's their simple colour blocking patterns that we love and we use them to ground our living room schemes or add fun in bedrooms and hallways. Strictly speaking, geometric rugs are any rugs that display geometrical shapes (circles, squares, triangles) or have proportionate lines designed on them (if they are not proportionate, I would class them under abstract design). They are reminiscent of mid century decor and as such fit perfectly in our current homes where mid century sofas, display units and lounge chairs are often used.

BUDGET FRIENDLY (under £500)

Some of the most budget friendly rugs out there are without doubt flat weave rugs. HABITAT in the UK has a great collection of such rugs in different sizes and their latest collection includes a variety of geometric ones. They also offer hand tufted wool rugs.

Key Shadow designed by Suzanne Sharp for The Rug Company (from £2,210, and with an 8010 week delivery time) is used in this open plan kitchen sitting area designed by PEEK Architecture + Design Ltd.

Above and below: Chiswick London based architectural design studio ZULUFISH added a geometric rug in this Rusholme Road project. Their inspiration was Modern British design, with a timeless feel. Their clients fell in love with the colourful Paul Smith rugs, so that set the tone for the rest of the scheme as they were able to pull out those colours in the furniture and accessories. The rug used here is the Carnival by Paul Smith, from £2791, The Rug Company.

Taking its design cues from Manhattan, Domus Blush highlights the shapes and tones of the evening light which peeks through New York’s skyscrapers. The varying pile heights and sections of ribbed wool in this design are reflective of Behun’s comprehensive cosmopolitan point of view.
