Fine and rustic, it was [handmade by craftsmen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/massimo-copenhagens) of Northern Pakistan. Made using [Afghan wool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrain-collection), it is unique and will definitely complement any existing home decor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modern Traditional Rugs:** The trend of modern rugs with traditional designs and techniques offer a market for handmade rugs inspired by traditional Persian styles. - **Colored Speckled Rugs:** The trend of rug collections that feature colorful speckled designs presents a disruptive opportunity for textile manufacturers to explore new printing and dyeing techniques. - **Sustainable Wool Rugs:** The trend of sustainable and eco-friendly products provides an opportunity for wool rug manufacturers to create unique pieces made from consciously-sourced materials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Textiles:** The textile industry can focus on developing new dyeing and printing techniques to create more colorful and vibrant rug collections with traditional designs. - **Handmade Crafts:** Handmade crafts industry can explore the traditional rug designs and create handmade rug collections for modern homes. - **Sustainable Home Decor:** The sustainable home decor industry can focus on creating and promoting consciously-sourced rug collections that are unique and eco-friendly. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Versatile Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanimarquina.md) - [Abstract Geometric Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discorectangle.md) - [Exquisite Textured Rug Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textured-rug.md) - [Math-Inspired Colorful Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weave-collection.md) - [Vibrantly Abstract Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstraction-collection.md) - [Luxurious Handwoven Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-barrel.md) - [Cross-Cultural Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordic-knots-x-giancarlo-valle-rug-collection.md) - [Opulent Area Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-collection-1.md) - [Mesmerizing Artful Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electtrico-collection.md)
