Beautiful Decorative Modern Distressed Rug, Country of Origin: Afghanistan, Circa Date: Modern – This gorgeous modern area rug has a distressed look that gives it a casual, timeless feel. It is a modern rug that was created using traditional weaving techniques that go back centuries. This modern distressed rug was woven in Afghanistan and shows their ability to adapt traditional designs and bring them into contemporary styles. It is a fascinating piece that has both a primitive and modern abstract feel.

Finding the perfect rug is the foundation for creating a design that gives you the feeling that you envision for the space. In the past, rugs were a secondary element and were not expected to add to the design but to blend in. Fortunately, the days of solid carpets with uniform texture have given way to the concept of taking advantage of the design real estate that is available on the floor. Modern rug design brings elements of not only color but also texture to the space. Modern retro-inspired furniture with open spaces underneath and glass-top tables make the perfect way to show off a featured rug.

Grays and blues are a color combination that is becoming more popular as designers turn their focus to creating interior spaces that are cozy and relaxing. These colors are known for their calming effect on the mind and allow us to create a retreat from the rest of the world. This rug has a texture that also adds to the warmth of the design.

This Afghan rug could easily be paired with blue accents or natural elements, such as basketry and plants. It is modern enough to carry black accents and mixed metal accents, too. This is a versatile piece that will transform the space and allow your creativity to flow. Regardless of whether you want to take a more streamlined, minimalist approach to your space or you want to create a more earthy feel, this area rug is the perfect beginning to an inspired design.
