5 Giftable Rug Designs to Make You a Holiday Hero

Every year, hunting down the perfect gift for everyone on your list can be the most stressful part of the holidays. From having to brainstorm unique gift ideas for each person on your list to scrambling between stores only to find that something’s out of stock, thoughtful gift-giving isn’t always as easy as we wish it was. 

Luckily, this year can be different. Whether holiday shopping for a sibling, close friend, parent, or anyone else who might need a new piece to reinvigorate their space, a gorgeous area rug can make for a memorable gift to last for years on end.

What makes for the most giftable rug? 

Aside from choosing an area rug that fits the aesthetic of one’s home, it’s important to search for qualities in its construction that allow for easy maintenance. Flatweave rugs, which are constructed as a single piece with vertical and horizontal fibers, are a popular pick because of their affordability, versatility, and durability. This lightweight rug type offers great insulation for the cold but simultaneously traps much less heat in the warmer months. For this reason among many others, flatweave rugs are very transitional, meaning they’ll suit any home well beyond the holiday season.

THE DESIGNS

Geometric

If you’re on the look for seamless patterns to add some visual variance to any space, keep your eyes peeled for a geometric design. Composed of a mixture of lines, shapes, and curves to give an abstract and modern look, a geometric area rug can either offer simplicity or complexity, as well as neutrals or an explosion of color. When in doubt, a versatile geometric design is always a fantastic choice.

Distressed

The trend of distressed rugs is sure to last for some time, considering the appeal of its vintage look. This trendy, aged finish is usually achieved through intense chemical treatment, a process that ultimately results in a worn-out look that is currently very popular. While the distressed look doesn’t necessarily prescribe any particular pattern or color for its designs, it is distinct in its own right for looking rustic and one-of-a-kind.
