Designing with Statement Rugs: Bold Choices That Define a Space

There are several things to consider when you start planning interior design - should you keep it subtle and understated with a muted colour theme? Or should you pick angular furniture to accent features of the room? The world of interior design offers endless possibilities, but if it’s rugs you’re looking for, we are here to help you explore OBEETEE’s wide-ranging collections of carpets and rugs to find the right piece to make a statement in your home. With styles ranging from abstract, contemporary, and unorthodox to classic and timeless, there is a bold carpet to be found for everyone.

Statement carpets can help you tie your decor together with ease. Bright colours, unusual patterns, and unique shapes and styles serve as a big red cherry on top, asserting their presence and bringing character to your space.

Here are 5 carpets to help you start exploring statement pieces in our collections.

1. Make a statement with an unmatched piece of art

OBEETEE’s festive collection, Viraasat, promotes the carpet as a medium for leading Indian designers to share their art. In exploring cultural expressions of heritage, the Viraasat collection draws influence from traditional art styles, modern design, and the creativity of our esteemed collaborators. With varied inspiration and designs, there is no one-size-fits-all formula for the carpets in this collection. A piece from the Viraasat collection will make a statement no matter where you place it.

 

For instance, Anita Dalmia’s depiction of the Mughal Gardens is perfect to admire on a wall or a floor. Stunning scenery detailed in hand-knotted wool and viscose, this carpet will transport you to gardens of an time long past.

A more contemporary piece from the collection, Tarun Tahiliani’s Urban Maze Rug in hand-knotted wool and silk, is an artistic interpretation of a classic frame-in-frame patterned rug. Bright shades of yellow in gold and ochre, balanced by reds and browns, are painstakingly woven as though painted with a brush. Another exploration of visual art techniques in carpet form, this piece is for the discerning patron of art.

2. Play with shape and colour

Abstract art is commonly considered an intellectual exercise in decoding meaning, however, with OBEETEE’s collection of carpet designs, the abstract is made simple and accessible. A contemporary carpet design inspired by abstract art is a nice way to make a statement in a room without drawing attention to the intricate details of the carpet.

Experiment with colour with our Trirang Hand Tufted Woollen and Cotton Rug. Single overlapping blocks of Red, White, and Black on a beige backdrop create striking balance. A contemporary piece where colourful and symmetric blocks create comforting anchors, this piece will make a statement without disrupting the rest of your decor theme.

If you’re up for it, experiment with our Penta Hand Tufted Woollen and Viscose Rug, a piece that proves a study in shape and form. With the unorthodox stacking of shapes over a rectangular base, this rug refuses to fit into a box. Colourful sections in blue, red, yellow, grey, and pink make the rug pleasing to the eye, taking the edge off of its unusual shape and structure. Suitable for a corridor or an entrance to a room, this rug will evoke wonder at every encounter.

3. Stick to the classics

If you’ve been reading this article and thinking “wow, these pieces sure make a statement, but there’s no way I’d put anything like that in my home!”, then we’re here to tell you that there’s no need to venture too far out of your comfort zone to make a statement. Our collections of classic, traditional carpets offer a wide variety of styles and designs, with rich colour schemes and intricate patterns that make a striking impression.

From the Persian saga collection, the Aradia Hand Knotted Woollen Rug is the perfect example of a classic design with a timeless, traditional pattern that makes an impact with its presence. The carpet, in rich red and orange tones, is a frame-in-frame design with repeating motifs in jewel tones including purple, yellow, green, and sky blue. This exquisite piece is the failsafe route towards a lasting impression.
