Adding a rug to any room instantly grounds the space and makes it feel cozier and more polished. My favorite style of rug to achieve the ultimate balance of modern geometrics and traditional craftsmanship is a vintage kilim rug. One-of-a-kind vintage rugs can be difficult for consumers to source by themselves as they’re often reserved for high-budget and custom client work. Here, I’ve gathered some of my favorite vintage kilim rugs, along with a collection of modern replicas and accessories to give you exclusive access to this usual trade-only product. Here are some of my favorites from the collection: Shop The Entire Collection Here *Affiliate Link: purchases made through this link pay designer commission.

Vintage Geometric Beige Brown And Blue Wool Kilim Rug

This one-of-a-kind vintage rug by Rug + Kilim measures 5×7 feet and would be stunning layered over a sturdy jute rug. I love the pastel colors blending with the aubergine and sage.

Vintage 1950s Mid-Century Kilim Pink Runner Rug

Made with hand-woven wool originating from Turkey between 1950-1960, this vintage mid-century Kilim runner enjoys the distinction and gentility of a seldom-seen pink colorway, gracefully accented by a play of golden-beige and cream hues lending a complementary sense of depth and gravity to the medallion field design.

Vintage Kilim Style Pillow Cover With Tassels

For a less expensive way to add vintage style and texture to a room, I love seeing lilim-style pillows layered with luxury fabrics like velvet. The tassels on this pillow add a sweet touch.

Vintage Mid-Century Moroccan Berber Transitional Pink And Beige Wool Rug – Confetti Accent

Originating from Morocco in 1950, this vintage midcentury Moroccan Berber rug has a combination of both distinct and subtle symbolism with particularly unique colourways. Hand knotted in durable wool, the eye-catching hot pink lozenges symbolizing femininity are complemented by parallel open-angled lozenges, commonly representing the transition into womanhood and maturity. A more uncommon feature of this piece is the especially finely woven sparks of confetti-like rainbow hues throughout the beige field, indicating an almost celebratory tone to the piece complementing its imagery.

1960s Vintage Zeki Muren Distressed Rug With Art Deco Pattern

Hand-knotted in wool, a distressed style rug from the celebrated artist Zeki Muren with abstract and art deco inspirations is one of his latest pieces to join Rug & Kilim’s Midcentury Pasha collection. This Turkish drawing from circa 1960-1970 boasts Western abstract modernism with a unique personality where a geometric pattern stands imbued in grey,black,yellow,orange,green tones lending versatility to suit different moods and styles. Carrying distressed low pile height consistent with age and the technique of this lineage, a perfect shabby chic rendering in Boho style—well suited for living rooms and drawing rooms in monochrome and neutral tones. A thoughtful choice for maximalist interiors, though the possibilities are limitless. 

Kilim Upholstery Fabric by Kravet

For custom pieces or to DIY wall tapestries, this fabric from Cravat comes in two color ways and looks like vintage kilim.

Modern Kilim (Cotton) Woven Rugs and Accessories

For budget infusions of kilim style, I’m all for buying a modern nod to the vintage classics. Use these items wisely. A 2×3 rug doesn’t have to be a door mat. You can install it on the wall as art or use it as a bath mat. These rugs are thin and could be used as a table runner on a large rectangle table. Get creative with these items under $150!
