I must tailgate my previous post on kilims with a contrasting one: Rugs do not necessarily need to be reinterpreted to work in a modern space. To demonstrate this, here are a few interiors that have used the traditional rug in a traditional way, and have maintained a beautifully modern look!
First up is a loft dining room designed by Sarah Richardson. Trust Sarah to make a rug on the wall look contemporary and stylish - it's art, it's character, it's warmth, it's perfect!
This next example is the Moscow apartment of Dmitriy Samokhin (director of Russian's NTV Plus). Two-storey windows bring in maximum light and airiness to the high-contrast interior. The home is decidedly minimalist and modern, but the rugs on the floor inject a subtle air of traditional style and help to add a cozy factor to the large open space.

And the last interior - a Philadelphia townhouse - displays an industrial-modern aesthetic all made from salvaged materials, and built by homeowner and carpenter Jayme Guokas. This bare-bones lounge is reminiscent of a Russian sauna, and the rug (along with cushion upholstery) adds just enough colour and pattern to liven space.
