Style, Colour & Sustainability — The Trends Rugs Way

At Trends Rugs, we’re not just your average rug store. We're proud to be the go-to rug destination in Mill Park and surrounding suburbs, known for our expert service, personalised advice, and one of the widest and most up-to-date rug collections in Melbourne. As homes become more of a reflection of personality, purpose, and lifestyle, rugs in 2025 are stepping into the spotlight — shaping spaces, creating warmth, and anchoring design.

If you're ready to give your home a refresh this year, here's everything you need to know about the latest rug trends in Melbourne — from styles and colours to the growing movement toward sustainability.

What’s Trending in Rug Style for 2025?

In 2025, rugs are being treated as design heroes — not just decorative accessories. This year’s most in-demand looks combine comfort, creativity, and function, all while supporting natural textures and smart layering. At Trends Rugs, we’re seeing these styles fly off the floor:

1. Layered Luxury

Layering rugs is no longer just a designer trick — it's a major trend. Think a natural base rug in jute or wool, topped with a colourful feature rug. It adds visual interest, softness underfoot, and flexibility in styling.

2. Vintage Made Modern

Classic Persian and Oriental designs are back, and they’ve had a modern twist. Faded finishes, distressed detailing, and subdued tones make these rugs ideal for both heritage homes and contemporary spaces. It’s timeless style — updated.

3. Touch-Me Textures

Texture is taking centre stage in 2025. High-low piles, loop weaves, and chunky knits create a multi-sensory experience. These rugs not only look beautiful, they feel inviting and add dimension to minimalist interiors.

4. Oversized Rugs for Open Living

Melbourne’s love for open-plan living has made extra-large rugs more popular than ever. They help define zones in open spaces and add flow between living, dining, and kitchen areas.

5. Naturally Inspired Materials

Homeowners are embracing natural fibres like jute, wool, and bamboo silk for their durability, texture, and eco-conscious appeal. At Trends Rugs, we source premium natural rugs that look just as good as they perform.

Melbourne’s Rug Colour Trends in 2025

When it comes to colour, 2025 is all about creating mood and warmth. Whether you want to ground your home in calm or make a bold statement, here’s what’s trending:

• Earthy neutrals: Clay, sand, terracotta, and olive bring grounded energy into living spaces

• Soft pastels: Blush pink, sage green, and powder blue add subtle sophistication

• Bold statements: Emerald green, charcoal, navy and deep rust make striking focal points

• Timeless naturals: Beige, soft white, and warm grey remain staples for their versatility

At Trends Rugs, we offer exclusive designs and colourways to suit every Melbourne home — from classic to coastal, contemporary to eclectic.

Geometric vs Abstract — Which Design Works Best for You?

Geometric Rugs

Crisp lines, symmetrical patterns, and repeating shapes — geometric rugs are perfect for modern homes or spaces that need a sense of order and flow. We stock a wide range of geometric styles, from subtle tone-on-tone to high-contrast, eye-catching prints.

Abstract Rugs

For those who love to stand out, abstract rugs are all about self-expression. With painterly strokes, blurred edges, and artistic flair, these rugs create movement and act as statement pieces in living rooms, bedrooms, or creative spaces.
