The rhythm of repeating forms, from honeycombs to links, diamonds to dots, brings syncopation to a room

Whether uniform or freeform, geometric patterns are among the most timeless and versatile of rug designs. They encompass a wide range of styles, from cottage stepping stones to classic tile designs to modern swirls. The pleasing repetition of motifs makes them easy to incorporate into a room, even if there are other patterns in fabrics and furnishings. For a clean, modern look, choose a simple two- or three-tone pattern, and for a more country or traditional look, consider a richly multicolored one.
