When it comes to statement-making home decor, area rugs can often be overlooked. For something that’s literally underfoot, that’s not exactly surprising—but you’d be remiss not to recognize the power of a good rug. With the ability to completely change the vibe of the room, they’re like an instant home makeover in one simple step.
Constructed with parallel-running fibers as opposed to knots or tufts, woven rugs lay flat and stand out for their low piles. This makes them smooth and soft underfoot, and especially suitable for rooms where you want a little extra coziness but with a minimalist bent. They're also incredibly versatile so anyone and everyone can find one fit for their space.
Here, the best woven rugs you can buy now.
