So What is a Transitional Rug?

Transitional rugs represent the coming together of the classic and contemporary designs, to create a distinctive rug that fits perfectly into our modern, eclectic world.

Take the traditional rug design with its border, floral and filigree-type intricate patterns and one or many medallions in the shape of octagons, hexagons and diamonds. Then introduce a thoroughly modern design: a bold colour, geometric patterns and free-form elements. By incorporating both designs into the one transitional rug, you get an in-between blend that possesses elegance and interest without that formal finish.

So, you may find a transitional rug will have the same floral and bordered pattern of a traditional rug but it doesn’t adhere to the strict colour regime of blue, black, red, maroon, white, green, navy and/or brown. It may very well possess a traditional medallion but then blend the rest of the rug into a bold, vibrant unbroken colour.
