Art Deco carpets were created in Europe during the 1920s and 1930s as a result of the Art Deco movement. Meant to complement the décor and furnishings of the time, and to showcase the avant-garde, they reflected modernist design principles, and are characterized by aesthetics of geometry, color, and luxury.
Some well-known Art Deco rug designers include Ivan Da Silva Bruhns and Paule Leleu. Bruhns' rugs were inspired by African, Oceanic, and Pre-Columbian art, while Leleu's rugs featured repeating geometric motifs and symmetrical arrangements.
A renewed interest in the art deco style brings forth new designs. Here's our recent additions:
In a space whose architecture embraces tradition and history, Pappas Miron places furniture pulsing with modernity. Pops of bold color accent the earth tones which set the mood for this young family.
A natural fiber flatweave grounds us in that down to earth vibe, while a slew of complimentary contradictions compel us to investigate the seating area - red and green, metal and wood, soft and hard, solid and patterned. This creative blending of opposites makes a palpable statement on the intention of dialogue and the ability to be open to opposing points of view.
Natural fibers like jute make a durable carpet and are a great alternative for those with wool or cotton allergies. Their characteristic tones easily enhance connection, but they wear colors well too.

It's easy to unwind in the elegant media room of this Hamptons waterfront retreat.
In this high contrast space, designer Shawn Henderson achieves a balance between the dark and colorfully moody wall/sofa color, and the lighter off-white components that is both striking and soothing.
Henderson uses soft textural elements to add some cozy depth while a linear rigidity draws the eye upwards and across the room allowing one to really take in the entire space.
This is the kind of room that indulges the senses and makes you want to touch everything - to feel the contrast of solid and soft - and to get lost in the wind blowing through the branches outside of the windows.
If I had the perfect adult tree house, this would be it!
The carpet, design number 16058B from our Ingrain Collection, has a sort of natural vibe that is both texturally interesting, and incredibly durable - ready for whatever life brings it's way.
Loving on this space? Here's a closer look at the carpet that grounds it. Upon inspection one can see how the weave itself creates interest that is both intriguing and tough.
This fun bedroom by Fox Nahem Associates uses varying textures and circular forms to create a playfully layered space - the thick knit throw blanket playing off of the bubbly stool, the hand crocheted headboard adornments by Tammy Kanat texturally pairing with the hooked carpet. A circular vase sits atop a round mirrored side table to reflect all of these circles in obscure ways.
Unironically, this well rounded room is grounded by the colorful circles of design number 1174F from our American Hooked Rug Collection.
The 1174 series spins the circle into different vibes by playing with color combination and rigidity of form. It goes from playful, to sophisticated, to calming, to strong and serious. Have a look at some of the other variations on the design.
