Trend radar

Although "Domotex", the world's leading trade fair for rugs, will not take place in january as usual, we have already tracked down the latest rug trends for 2021. Rugs are continuing to develop more and more into a lifestyle product. Organic forms and viscose rugs were the main topic of the rug trends in 2020, nevertheless naturalness in all shapes and colours will play a major role in the next season as well!

We can hardly wait, are you on board?

Rug trends 2021: trend colour green

In 2021 we will probably spend more extended time at home. So it is obvious to bring a by nature inspired coziness to our homes. And what could be more appropriate than a rug in our new favourite colour: green!

Green is and remains the true colour of nature. We associate it directly with peace and relaxation outdoors. The colour "Sage" is particularly trendy in the coming season. With this greyish shade you are absolutely right in 2021!

Especially rugs in green make a skilful appearance in 2021 and have become an indispensable part of our interiors. Make sure to put your key pieces in "Sage" in the foreground and make them the highlight of the room. Combine "Sage" with furniture and discreet home accessories, such as baskets or rattan furniture, in black and white. This combination reminds us of the "Japandi" furnishing trend, where natural feel-good furniture meets Far Eastern aesthetics. Click here for more inspirations.

Double the comfort with rugs made of natural materials like wool. But naturalness and shine are not mutually exclusive either: with green viscose rugs you can give your home a touch of glamour.

Rug trends 2021: berber rugs made out of wool

Originally, Berber rugs, also called Beni Ourain rugs, were made exclusively out of sheep's wool. Hand-knotted in Tunisia and Algeria, they followed a centuries-old tradition. However, they are by no means dusty or old-fashioned! Berber rugs blend effortlessly into the most diverse interior styles. They can also be perfectly combined with modern trends such as the Boho Chic.

Over time, Berber rugs have become more and more popular and designers are no longer limited to classic designs and materials. Next season, the use of high-quality wool is a must! While Berber rugs were increasingly found in living rooms and bedrooms last season, products made of high quality wool are also slowly arriving in kids’ rooms. Those children's rugs are cosy eye-catchers in your little ones' room.

In 2021 we take a step back to originality: at home, high quality Berber rugs made out of wool are a must!

Rug trends 2021: structure and material mix

The "mix and match" trend has been popular in fashion for years. In 2021 we can also rely on a wide range of combinations of materials and structures when it comes to rugs.
Rugs with a structural mix are real must-haves for our interiors. Their multidimensional look visually opens up the room and gives it additional depth. The special high-low effects are created by weaving different pile heights. In combination with different materials, this provides additional comfort and at the same time offers the opportunity to bring variety into the room.

There are no limits when it comes to this rug trend! Therefore it is not only to be found on classic bedroom rugs. Also on In & Outdoor rugs or on kids' rugs, the mix of structures and materials is a trend. Even on cushions, wall decorations and poufs it cuts a fine figure. This way you can easily give your home an all-round look. Combine your It pieces with natural materials and understated pastel shades like rosé or green. Even children's rooms and outdoor areas can be updated with a modern look.

Rugs and home accessories with a mix of structures and/or materials are rather reserved in their colour scheme. They often come in cream white, grey or beige, thus remaining modern and discreet in colour, while being the eye-catchers of 2021!

Rug trends 2021: sustainable rugs

The issue of sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in the textile industry! Rugs made from sustainably manufactured or recycled materials are becoming more and more popular. It is time to finally overhaul the dusty, eco-image of sustainable products. In 2021, we can introduce sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to our homes.

Jute is one of the most popular materials and combines many advantages. Rugs made of this natural fibre are not only particularly robust and resistant, but also environmentally friendly. At the same time, they are true natural beauties that set trendy accents with their simple designs. According to our opinion: natural fibre rugs like jute pieces should not be missed in your home in 2021!

Whether cotton or PET bottles, rugs made of recycled materials are also in fashion. Rugs and home accessories made of recycled polyester PET not only look super beautiful, but also have water-repellent properties. That's why they are particularly suitable for use in your outdoor area and make stylish statements there.

In the new season rug designers have taken the credo "Re-use, Re-think,Re-cycle" very seriously. The idea of recycling materials and increasingly integrating natural fibres has resulted in environmentally friendly rugs that are a must for the 2021 rug trends!

Whether in exciting colours or featuring new designs and materials - rugs should not be missing as key pieces in your interior design dream in 2021!

Which will be your new favourite rug trend in 2021? Perhaps an exciting statement rug.
