Hand-knotted

Modern Oriental Rugs

Modern interiors require peace, layers and materials that let the light work beautifully. A hand-knotted carpet brings that together. It can soften a sleek interior or, on the contrary, provide a powerful accent without being loud. That is why we see oriental carpets returning more and more often in contemporary homes and projects.

Why an oriental rug works in a modern interior

A well-chosen carpet anchors the seating area, dampens the acoustics and connects materials into one. The result is balance and depth, even in a minimalist space. For years, design titles have emphasized how a rug can add the layer that's missing: warmth, texture and rhythm, even when the rest stays calm.

Two routes: Modern Design or Modern Contrast

Simplicity

Modern designs

In addition to classical motifs, there are contemporary Persian designs: simpler drawing, calm fields of color, geometry or abstraction. These fit seamlessly into a modern palette and retain the craftsmanship of wool and silk.

Tension

Classic as a contrast

If you choose a classic carpet in a modern setting, tension with character will be created. Interior reports show that rich patterns bring a sleek space to life and add a timeless layer. The aim is not nostalgia, but a conscious choice for texture, color and story.

What do you pay attention to when choosing a modern one?

01

Size

Take generously. Under a dining table, all chairs should be fully on the rug; in the sitting area, front legs and preferably back legs rest on the rug. That gives you peace of mind and looks mature.

03

Color & pattern

Choose one main color that matches the floor or sofa and let the pattern set the beat. Plain or semi-smooth works serenely; a classic medallion provides focus. Both can be modern, depending on the space.

02

Material & light

Wool absorbs, silk reflects. Together, they provide depth and let colors move through the day. That feels modern without being harsh.

04

Layer by layer

In larger spaces, there may be layering: a subtle short-pile rug under a richer design, or a sisal base with a hand-knotted accent. Layers add depth without cluttering up the space.
