Modern rugs
Modern rugs use abstract, geometric and minimalist designs, often in neutral or tonal palettes, to anchor a room without competing with the furniture. Calvin Klein Home designs lean quiet and textured, while DKNY and Nourison add bolder patterns and color. In a living room, choose a size large enough for at least the front legs of your seating; in a bedroom, extend the rug 18–24 inches past each side of the bed. Filter by size, color and material below, from easy-care polypropylene to wool.

Start with size: in a living room, leave 12–18 inches of bare floor around the rug and tuck at least the front legs of your sofa onto it. Then narrow by color and style, and add a rug pad to keep it in place.
