What Are Shaped Rugs?
Shaped rugs are rugs that break away from traditional rectangular and square forms. They come in a variety of unique silhouettes like circles, ovals, arches and free-form organic shapes. These rugs offer a playful, artistic element to interiors and can help define spaces in a creative and unconventional way. Irregular shaped rugs are increasingly popular in modern and minimalist interiors. Inspired by trends like Japandi, Scandi, and modern organic design, they bring a sense of calm and creativity to living spaces. They're also a hit on social media for their unique, eye-catching aesthetic.
