Transitional Rugs

Usually, based on the colors and materials used, the style of rugs is easily defined as either being traditional or modern. However, area rugs can be the best of both worlds as they strive to show the qualities of each style. 

A transitional rug combines the traditional way of making area rugs with the forward-thinking colors and designs that are common in contemporary rugs. This means when decorating a room that is a blend of many different styles, a transitional area rug can be the perfect choice to make sure that your floor covering does not clash with the decor.

One thing you will love about transitional floor coverings is that there are so many possibilities when it comes to the materials used to make the area rug. Transitional rugs offer you a lot more freedom when it comes to matching the room decor with the rug materials.

A quick view of the area rugs available on the Mafi Rugs website will show that you can find transitional area rugs made from the following materials:

• Wool
• Acrylic
• Polyester
• Cotton
• Nylon
• Polypropylene
• Other natural and synthetic fibers

Before you add any of these transitional area rugs to your cart, consider how soft you want the rug to be and the required durability. This will help you in making the best choice from a catalog full of so many great options. Click here to learn more in our Rugs 101 section.

All the transitional area rugs sold on the Mafi Rugs web page are arranged in an easy-to-read manner that makes it possible to do a quick view of each item as you are browsing.

If, for example, you are looking for fairly large transitional rugs (8x10 in size) you just click on the rug of your choice and you will be directed to a page that shows you all the additional information about that item.

All the information you need to know about the style, materials, and sale of the rug is available at a glance and once you have skimmed through it, you can add the item to your cart or return to the main page and continue browsing.

The diversity of transitional area rugs means they can be made from a wide range of materials. Take, for example, our transitional rugs that are made from acrylic. 

This is a material that is loved for being highly recyclable without much loss in condition and durability. Therefore, all our transitional area rugs that are made from such materials have been manufactured in a sustainable way, which is good news for many of our customers who are environmentally conscious and only buy recycled material.

We have many such materials for sale on our page that are either easy to recycle or, in the case of bamboo silk, have been farmed in a highly sustainable way that is good for the environment.

Even more impressive, wool is one of the most eco-friendly and long lasting fibers available on the market. The longer a rug lasts, the less likely it will end up in a landfill. Plus, since it's so easy to clean it uses less chemicles to keep it looking fresh and new. Combine that with the power of Fiber Protector by Mafi and you have a perfect pairing for an eco-friendly lifestyle.

If you are going to be having kids playing on your rugs most of the time at home, two things that you have to look at when choosing the right style of your transitional rug are durability and ease of maintenance.

Consider some of our rug options on sale that are made from wool that are robust and easy to clean. This means no matter what your kids get up to on the rug, you will not have a problem keeping your room looking clean and tidy. 

Other rug materials on sale, such as acrylic or other synthetic fibers, may be better options for bedrooms or other areas where the traffic is not so much and kids are not allowed to play in. 

Darker colors will also be a great style choice because they hide dirt very well. If you are looking for large transitional rugs (9x12), we have many great options on sale that you can browse through and add to your cart.

As long as you get the colors and designs right, depending on the decor style of your room, any of our transitional rug choices will be great additions to a modern-looking environment. We have so many rug-style choices on sale, so come talk to one of our team members to help you choose a modern rug for your home.
