Laying the literal foundation for the rest of your room’s decor, the right rug is everything. A soft jute outdoor rug can instantly soften a stone patio, while a color-blocked print can add vibrancy to a minimal space. And like paint colors or furniture silhouettes, the textile is also subject to the rise and fall of interior design trends. Of course, everyone’s style is different, but whether you’re drawn to technicolor shags or natural flatweaves, the top rug trends for 2025 have something for you.
The design industry trend predictions for this season lean toward decor that doesn’t compromise—bold kitchen cabinet colors, spa-inspired bathrooms, and vacation-worthy outdoor spaces—and the rug trends continue to encourage you to live loudly. To forecast the top rug trends of 2025, we tapped a handful of industry experts to reveal not only what they’re seeing but also what real customers are asking for. Read on for the six top rug trends and how to use each of them in your own home.
Warm Neutrals
“We believe people are continuing to prioritize nurturing, calming spaces as a counterbalance to an increasingly chaotic world,” Salam Hello CEO and founder Mallory Solomon says. “As our environments play a crucial role in emotional well-being, we wanted to focus our designs toward a soft, grounding aesthetic that creates a sense of serenity and refuge.” Neutral Ground, the brand’s latest collection, is inspired by Solomon’s own calming space, the deserts of Morocco.

High Pile Textures
“Chunkier, shaggier, and more dimensional rugs are trending, offering handcrafted appeal and adding critical warmth and character to minimalist spaces,” Rosa Glenn, chief merchandising officer of Ernesta, says. The state of the world is scary, and our homes are a haven. Coziness and comfort have become a key element of interior design, starting with the rugs.

Washable Prints
From Ruggable and Tumble to Revival’s washable line, washing-machine-safe rugs are all the rage for families, pet owners, and even those who are just prone to spills. The material innovation means that you don’t have to worry about stains while still having a rug that is soft underfoot. There’s no time or patience for being overly careful with the items you bring into your house. Homes are meant to be lived in.

Distressed Antiques
“Persian-style rugs will remain a staple, with softer, distressed tones and warm neutrals leading the way,” Glenn says. “Kilim rugs, especially classic designs, will continue to dominate, while Moroccan-inspired rugs lean into minimalist, flatwoven styles.” Antique rugs are a great way to add character to a new build or add warmth to otherwise stark architecture. The distressed details show the rug’s age, and while that was previously disliked, shoppers now want to show off their one-of-a-kind finds. Unique rugs are a new kind of status symbol.

1970s Revival
A large number of the interior design trends for 2025 have centered around rooms that have more personality. There is less of a divide between minimalist and maximalist and more of an emphasis on creating a space that showcases who you are and what you love. Self-expression was a major part of the 1970s, a design era we’re seeing reemerge with force. “The era also includes neutrals, natural materials and textures, and handicrafts,” Ben Hyman, CEO and cofounder of Revival Rugs, says. “It’s worth noting that the ’90s are also in right now. We’ve been seeing that in interiors and fashion for the past year at least, with designers like Terence Conran coming back into vogue. And in the ’90s, they were referencing the ’70s.”

Color Blocking
“This trend celebrates an exuberant take on minimalism where color-blocking is the focus through the use of primary colors, grids, and futuristic shapes,” Cassandra Leisz, senior creative director at Ruggable, says. Patterned rugs aren’t for everyone, and if your room is full of prints already (whether in wallpaper, upholstery, or artwork), stagnant blocks of color can add vibrancy without overwhelming the senses.

Natural Fibers
Consumers are paying more attention to what they bring into their homes, including rug materials. All natural fibers like jute and 100 percent wool and recycled materials are becoming the norm rather than the exception. “Jute is clean and crunchy at once—a little hippie but still summer-house-polished,” Hyman says. “It’s got a satisfying texture, and jute is neutral without being boring. It helps that it’s biodegradable, affordable, sturdy, and CO2-neutral.”
