Arts and Crafts Rugs have a rich history in the world of interior design.
The late 19th-century Arts and Crafts movement emphasized workmanship, simplicity, and natural materials in response to the Industrial Revolution. And decor accessories like rugs, textiles, and wallpaper were designed to bring the forms and colors of nature into the home to complement Arts and Crafts furnishings.
Stickley, a furniture and home decor company known for its high-quality craftsmanship and commitment to the Arts and Crafts tradition, offers a range of beautiful rugs that reflect this beloved style.

Light Tulip Fest Rug
Crafted with care and skill, the Light Tulip Fest Rug is hand-knotted by Nepalese weavers who are masters in their craft.
They work with wool from Himalayan Highland sheep to create a rug that is both visually stunning and durable, with a design inspired by common Arts and Crafts motifs, the tulip and the acanthus leaf.
This blend of traditional techniques and high-quality materials creates a rug that is both attractive and practical.
Morris Lily Rug
Drawing inspiration from the iconic English Arts and Crafts designer William Morris, the Morris Lily Rug is a testament to his legacy. With its intricate botanical motifs, this rug effortlessly blurs the line between the natural world and the comforts of home.
Using only the purest Himalayan Highland sheep’s wool, each rug is crafted with the utmost attention to detail.
Bungalow Garden Rug
The Bungalow Garden Rug features a distinctive pattern that mimics the intricate wallpapers designed by William Morris. Its beautiful design effortlessly evokes a sense of harmony between the home and the surrounding gardens.
Just as a typical Craftsman Bungalow home would feature a large porch that extended into the garden, this rug creates a fluid transition between the indoors and outdoors. It’s hand-knotted in Nepal from Himalayan Highland sheep’s wool.
Falling Leaves Rug
The Falling Leaves Rug is a beautiful representation of the Arts and Crafts movement’s shared vision of harmony with nature. Crafted in Nepal with the utmost care and precision, the Falling Leaves Rug is built to last.
The Falling Leaves Rug will make a statement in your living room or bedroom, whether you want to add elegance or coziness.
Prairie Rug
The Prairie Rug is a beautiful representation of the Prairie School of Architecture, a design movement that was pioneered by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The intricate design—hand-knotted in Nepal from Himalayan wool—and warm color palette make this rug a perfect addition to any home. This rug is perfect for a reading corner or dining area.
The Role of Arts and Crafts Rugs in Contemporary Design
The simplicity and natural materials that are at the core of the Arts and Crafts movement are particularly appealing to those who value sustainability and ethical sourcing.
Contemporary designers and artists are incorporating Arts and Crafts Rugs into their work in a variety of ways. Some people use these rugs to give color and pattern to more conventional designs, while others use them to add texture and warmth to minimalist environments.
While traditional Arts and Crafts Rugs often feature muted colors and repeating patterns, contemporary designers are using brighter hues and more abstract designs to create a fresh take on this classic style.
Arts and Crafts Rugs continue to influence modern design. The emphasis on craftsmanship, natural materials, and simplicity that characterized the movement continues to inspire today’s designers and artists as they create fresh takes on time-honored forms.
Stickley’s collection of Arts and Crafts Rugs offers a range of beautiful and practical options that keep this movement alive in the home.
