About the collection
Traditional rugs are the perfect balance between traditional rugs and modern rugs. They are ideal if you can't decide between the two. They blend classic, traditional designs with modern, contemporary ones.
Magic Rugs has a fantastic collection of transitional area rugs that work with almost any decorating style. You get to keep the old world charm while complementing the modern aspects of your space.
We often receive enquiries where buyers want a classic rug, but they don't want to invest in a Persian or Oriental rug. They are looking for something traditional with a modern twist. Amongst such buyers, our transitional rugs are very popular. We have curated a collection where we have reimagined traditional patterns.
For instance, using softer grey and blue tones instead of bold reds, turning busy floral designs into abstract interpretations, making ornate borders more simplified, and using neutral and muted color palettes by keeping the traditional motifs intact.
Even if these are transitional rugs, we give them no less attention than any antique rug . All transitional area rugs are handmade with premium, natural fibers. We do not compromise in quality, even if it's a modern design .
