Like the perfect accessory, the right rug or carpet completes a room. Along with providing a welcome layer of softness underfoot, floorcoverings can help define and anchor a space, inject a dose of colour and pattern and absorb ambient noise. With style inspirations ranging from nature and menswear to the celestial and more, the 16 rug and carpet tile collections below lend comfort, warmth and visual interest to both commercial and residential interiors.

Soft Colour

1

Angled in Enrichment by Tarkett

Defined by geometric shapes and lines, Tarkett’s Angled in Enrichment collection brings both balance and structure to educational (and other) settings. The series includes three Powerbond hybrid carpets and three modular carpet tiles, and the small-, medium- and large-scale patterns allow for seamless and stimulating installations.

2

Grounded Spaces by Shaw Contract

Promoting a sense of calm in commercial settings, Grounded Spaces from Shaw Contract features nine patterns derived from classic weaves, plaids and intricate linework. The 10 colours available for each design are crafted from a carbon-neutral high-performance recycled nylon.

3

MultiSensory by Mohawk Group

Comprising five carpet styles (and one rug), the MultiSensory collection from Mohawk Group invites a reconnection to the senses through its rich tactility, soothing and refined hues, and relaxed patterns. Each design is offered in 14 colours that range from neutral to saturated; Dimensional Fade, a multi-textural pattern in varying tones, is shown here in Woodland Hush.

4

Dapper Dialogue by Mannington Commercial

Like a well-coordinated wardrobe, the four styles in the Dapper Dialogue collection from Mannington Commercial can work together to form an elegant foundation in modern workspaces. Replicating plaid, herringbone and other classic menswear patterns, the tailored designs are offered in palettes of sophisticated neutrals.

Black & White

Modern Finds by Patcraft

Celebrating handcrafted design and traditional weaving techniques, the Modern Finds collection from Patcraft offers five complementary styles with varying constructions that can be installed in synchronized layouts. Each carpet has a neutral foundation that is accented by nine soft and muted colour palettes. Shown is Floated Weft in Muslin.

Stellar Horizons by Interface

Informed by the wonder of the night sky, the Stellar Horizons collection from Interface includes four celestial-influenced patterns — Meteor (shown), Cosmic Web, Endless Orbit and Lunar Landing — that can be mixed and matched to create inspiring floorscapes in a variety of settings.

3

Light Catcher by Bentley Mills

The four patterns in the Light Catcher collection from Bentley Mills were influenced by the ways light can manipulate colour — when it is bent, scattered, refracted, filtered — and illustrate distinct moments of that interplay. For example, Sun Dog (shown) evokes the phenomenon of sunlight bending through ice crystals in the atmosphere.

4

Tides by J+J Flooring

As its name implies, the Tides collection from J+J Flooring is an interpretation of the ocean’s natural movements. Exploring how light bounces off the water’s surface, its mesmerizing tonal shifts, and all its bubbles and undulations, the collection includes two patterns — Ebb (shown) and Flow — and 10 nature-based colours.

Artistic

1

Natsu Rug by Ligne Roset

Evoking a fallen leaf, with its earthy reddish-orange tones and organic contours, the Natsu rug by Denis Guidone for Ligne Roset brings nature-inspired warmth to interiors. Irregular vein-like lines add visual dimension to the tufted wool rug, which is also available in a cooler blue-green.

2

Stria by Creative Matters

A linear motif with subtle transitions lends the Stria rug from Creative Matters varied dimension and a sense of movement. Available in Clay (shown) or Pebble, it is one of 10 designs in the Loominary collection, a series that harmonizes colours and patterns in a tactile play on illusion.

3

Timber Tones by Moooi Carpets

Wood and craftsmanship in all their timeless appeal are woven together in the Timber Tones collection by Sjoerd Vroonland for Moooi Carpets, which merges traditional artistry with modern techniques. A collaboration with marquetry studio FineMarq, the four designs in the series (three rugs and one carpet) have hyper-realistic characteristics and an enduring sophistication.

4

Variegated Grid by Ben Soleimani

An architectural interpretation of a traditional check, the Variegated Grid rug — one of four contract-grade designs in the new Gensler and Ben Soleimani collaboration — has a linear rhythm with precisely spaced intersecting lines of varying hues. The hand-knotted wool rug is offered in six colours, including the Red/Espresso shown.

Tactile

1

Nimbus by Armadillo

Twisted strands of New Zealand wool are hand-coiled and double-stitched with natural jute to create Nimbus, which has a rippling surface texture that lends both depth and softness to interior spaces. Available in lichen-inspired Oakmoss (shown) and green-tinged Wasabi, it is part of Armadillo’s Soft Geometry collection, a five-rug series informed by a Japanese design sensibility.

2

Level Rug by Normann Copenhagen

Inspired by fashion tailoring techniques, the monochromatic Level rug by Urd Moll Gundermann for Normann Copenhagen incorporates different pile heights to create contrasting textures that give the impression of tonal shifts. Offered in Light Yellow and Warm Grey, the rug is hand-tufted from 100 per cent wool and available in a range of rectangular sizes, as well as one circular format.

3

Fasad Collection by Kasthall

Referencing the brick facade of Kasthall’s factory in Sweden, the Fasad collection by architect David Chipperfield translates the solidity and texture of the building component into a woven surface made from recycled wool yarns and pure linen. Two versions are available: Duo (shown), with an even number of distinct “blocks,” and Uno, which has a uniform expression.

4

Orizzonti by Molteni&C

Italian fashion designer Marta Ferri looked to “vast landscapes stretching toward the horizon” when devising her Orizzonti rug for Molteni&C. The tufted weave is defined by differing pile heights that give it an undulating intricacy that works in both classic and modern interiors.
