Geometric rugs and geometric carpet to the trade
Geometric rugs to the trade: 1,316 styles, the largest pattern family in the library, from Harcourt Collection (216), Couristan (164), Prestige Mills (147) and Bloomsburg Carpet (116). Wilton (333) leads, which says much of this is broadloom; hand-knotted (93), hand-loomed (191) and machine woven (77) follow, in wool (365), wool blend (232) and polypropylene (92). 1,146 are made to order.
Geometric covers lattice, trellis, Greek key, diamond, grid, ogee and the stepped and tiled patterns that come off a Wilton loom cleanly. Prestige Mills and Stanton do the trellis and diamond in wool Wilton for stairs and hallways; Couristan do larger geometrics in machine woven rugs; the hand-knotted pieces from Harcourt Collection and emma gardner design use a geometric as a loose, hand-drawn structure.
Repeat is the spec. A 6 to 12 inch geometric reads as texture from a distance and forgives a seam; an 18 to 36 inch repeat is the pattern of the room and must be centered and matched, which adds waste to a broadloom estimate. A geometric area rug anchors a scheme of solids and plays well with a stripe at a different scale; two geometrics at the same scale fight. Black and white geometric rugs are the trade's favorite neutral. See Wilton, patterned carpet and stripes.
Before you specify, read the geometric rugs guide, written for the trade with the constructions, fibers and rooms that suit this look.
