A Buyer’s Guide for Rugs by Cocoon Pret
Rugs and carpets have defined the interiors for centuries, symbolising sophistication and luxury by gracing the royal courts and castles. While we’ve dramatically evolved, no space feels right without a comforting rug underfoot.
From minimalism to maximalism, here’s Pret’s guide to finding your ‘right’ match.
Top Interior Design Trends and Celebrity-Inspired Rug Picks
1. Wabi Sabi
Wabi Sabi homes are all about simplicity, asymmetry, rough textures, and the balance between nature and architecture. Pick jute dhurries or flat weaves to reflect the Japanese appreciation for the transient and imperfection.
Bring home SK-1252 to transform your home with a modern yet sublime twist. Choose irregular shapes and earthy tones to capture the essence of Wabi-Sabi, similar to Mithila Palkar’s dreamy Mumbai home.

2. Traditional Interior Style
The traditional style celebrates timeless elegance and classical charm. Elevate your modern living space with our charming hand-knotted rug Virescent.
Its subtle patterns and refined palette echo the sophistication of classic designs, adding a touch of historical grace to your contemporary decor.
Take cues from Anoushka Shankar’s London home and allow traditional rugs to narrate ‘your’ story.
3. Luxe-Minimal
Resonate with the refined elegance of luxe-minimal interior style with hand-tufted rugs. Rather than unquestioningly picking a rectangular rug, make a conscious move with the unconventional.
Soften a space's angles by introducing round or organic-shaped rugs like CE6311, CE6338, Moonlight #2, etc.
Let the palette and texture for rugs be inspired by Armaan Malik’s tranquil abode, which reflects a sense of calm and comfort through a warm mood board.
4. Maximalism
Maximalism invites boldness and vitality into your home. To complement this vibrant style, choose hand-tufted rugs featuring eclectic designs and lively tones.
Our Checkerboard or Nomadic Art rugs are perfect for making a striking statement, much like the exuberant residence of Sonam Kapoor, bringing maximalism to life with eclectic rugs.
5. Pastel Tonality
Introduce flatweaves or handloom rugs in muted shades to enhance the tranquility of your interior’s pastel palette. The subtle texture and gentle tones will harmonise with the theme, crafting a serene and soothing space.
Put pastel on pastel with Origami to tie the visual narrative in the room seamlessly.
Alternatively, you can add a playful essence with CE6361 or Splash, like Sonakshi Sinha’s abode, with circular rugs in darker hues.
6. Minimalism
Clean lines and subtle patterns– that’s all a minimalist theme demands. Complement this style with flatweave rugs boasting a smooth texture and understated design.
Alternatively, you can take a contrasting route like Shraddha Kapoor’s residence, by introducing vibrancy to the floor with densely patterned rugs.
Express your style with 475 for an earthy palette, or welcome vibrancy to your minimalist home by featuring Splash.
7. Artistic Homes
Whether round or rectangular, blue or beige, woollen or jute, the conscious selection of a rug weaves its magic into spaces. Bring home hand-knotted rugs with bold designs and patterns to serve another art statement in your already artistic home.
Reflect your love for art with Pret’s pleasing patterns showcased in Noir Nomad, similar to how Ishaan Khatter’s Mumbai home boasts creativity through the sublime traditional rug.
