Best Washable Area Rugs For Your Vintage Decor
In a previous blog, we dove into all aspects that make up Traditional design style. From design motifs to color palettes and more, there are many aspects of Traditional design that have made the style timeless over centuries. Because of its timeless nature, many traditional rugs are often used to complement and elevate vintage and vintage-inspired decor.
Traditional rug style also shares many similarities with Persian rug style. Elements like repeating geometric patterns, floral motifs, and soft color palettes are seen across both design styles. Traditional and Persian also share a common goal: to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in your home.
So, whether you’re looking for the best Traditional rugs, best Persian rugs, or a blend of both, here are our favorite vintage-inspired rugs to complement your vintage decor:

Why our customers love it: “I’m pleasantly surprised with the rug so far. It pops beautifully on my dark floors, and was very easy to lay out. I have two large dogs and I was impressed how the mat stayed out during their zoomies without the stick pads down yet. The threading survived the zoomies - can’t wait to see how it holds up in the wash.” — Natalia L.
