Geometric patterned rugs are a classic component of Art Deco interior design. You will often find them on top of wooden parquet floors or single colour carpets. A good example is the impressive large round rug in the entrance hall at Eltham Palace.
Bold shapes and colours ensure these rugs are an interesting focal point for your room. Match them with a single colour, pattern free suite. Needless to say, there's a huge choice out there, here are our top ten picks.
