Modern rugs bring pattern without history, which is what a contemporary room usually wants underfoot. Seldens carries Modern Rugs, drawn mainly from Mafi and Stickley, in wool and blended constructions made to order in the size you need.

The Look of a Modern Rug

Expect abstract fields, geometry and open unpatterned grounds, typically in smoke, slate, blue, moss and neutral grounds. Modern is the most useful category to shop by when you already know the furniture and need the floor to agree with it rather than compete. Cross reference by colour through grey, beige, blue and ivory rugs.

Placing a Modern Rug Under Furniture

Rug size does more for a room than pattern does. Under a seating group, aim for the front legs of every piece to land on the rug, which usually means eight by ten or larger. In a dining room, allow two feet past the table edge on all sides. In a bedroom, run the rug wide enough that you step onto it getting out of bed.
