How a New Rug Can Totally Transform A Room – Great Room Rug Styling 3 Ways!

A warm, inviting greatroom featuring a rich traditional area rug with red and gold tones, a grey sectional sofa, a pair of cream armchairs, and a tan leather accent chair. The space includes a marble coffee table, dark built-in bookshelves with a rolling ladder, a black fireplace, and a quilted wall hanging. Layered lighting and classic mouldings enhance the architectural charm.

Have you ever swapped out just one element in a room and been amazed by the transformation? Sometimes, it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest impact. In the latest issue of Tuck In, John & Catherine's Great Room Getaway, we used two traditional-style area rugs to anchor the main seating areas.

Now, we’re showing you how simply switching out those rugs for different styles can change the mood, look, and feel of the space.

The Original Design

The original design for John & Catherine's Great Room features the Loren Area Rug by Loloi.

Timeless and classic, the Loren Collection offers a vintage hand-knotted look. Created in Turkey using advanced rug-making technology, this printed design provides a textured effect by portraying every single individual knot on a soft polyester base.

A Contemporary Take

It's well known we love to inject modern and contemporary designs into traditional spaces. When thinking of alternative rug options that would fit well in John & Catherine's Great Room, the new Scottie Rug immediately came to mind!

Hand-tufted in India, this 100% wool area rug boasts a playful scalloped edge and lower-pile striped border for added charm. With a thick, plush pile and earthy colour palette, this rug is both stylish and ethically-made.

Transitional & Tailored

If you're in between styles and looking for something that rides the fence between contemporary and traditional design, opt for transitional! We love the Caleb Rug Collection for its timeless versatility.

Designed in collaboration with Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines, the Caleb Collection combines a timeless palette with a plaid-inspired, criss cross motif. Handwoven of 100% wool pile, Caleb's tone on tone colors are paired with subtle fringe to set the scene for a cozy and inviting space.

Authentic Semi-Antique

Adding an authentic one-of-a-kind semi-antique rug to John & Catherine's Heritage Great Room is an easy choice! We love how the The Kennebecasis Valley by Tuck Rugs enriches the room.

Each Tuck Rug is 100% wool and semi-antique, meaning they are all at least 20 - 50 years old! Explore the entire Tuck Rug collection here.
