Rugs & Textiles

Area rugs and textile wall art instantly add warmth and texture to any room. Moreover, area rugs offer the added benefit of delineating space within a large room or open-concept floorplan. Use an area rug to ground a living room seating arrangement, master bed, or home office setup. Choose a rug with neutral tones to complement a serene aesthetic or opt for a brightly hued living room rug to add a pop of color to your space. Give your home a textural boost with textile wall art and area rugs from Herman Miller. Plus, shop Herman Miller for more wall decor, including George Nelson clocks.

Herman Miller Area Rugs

When shopping for a living room rug or bedroom rug, it’s important to consider the size of the room to determine the best size rug. A rug that’s too large can overwhelm a space. Conversely, a rug that’s too small can look misplaced. Standard large area rugs, an optimal choice for living rooms and bedrooms, usually range in size from 5’x8’ to 9’x12’. When choosing a rug size, the best practice is to account for 18 to 24 inches of clearance around the rug. For a dining room, choose a rug that can center under your entire dining set, including table and chairs. Office rugs should be large enough to cushion your entire desk setup, with room for a swivel chair to move freely without catching on the edge of the rug. If you find yourself rolling your chair from your desk to other spots around your office, opt for an office area rug big enough to cushion the whole space. In a kitchen or hallway, opt for a long, narrow rug runner that provides comfort underfoot and adds visual intrigue to these high-traffic spaces.

At Herman Miller, discover large, patterned rugs, including brightly colored geometric motifs and soft neutral tones with subtle stripes. Each of Alexander Girard’s handwoven area rugs, including the graphic Girard Steps Rug, Girard Plus Rug, and Girard Check Rug, is available in two sizes and three colorways.

Herman Miller’s selection of modern rugs also includes textiles by Dutch designer Hella Jongerius for Maharam. Handwoven in Nepal from Himalayan sheep’s wool, Jongerius’ Maharam Argali Rug comes in black and yellow versions. Similarly, the vibrantly hued Maharam Multitone Rug is handwoven from 100% wool and comes in dark and light colorways. Maharam rugs are offered in several large area rug sizes.

In four sizes and two shades, Ellen Van Dusen’s Landscape Rug – an abstract reimagination of a mountain scene in New Zealand wool – is also available at Herman Miller.

Herman Miller Textile Wall Art

Textile wall art, available in the form of textile panels and tapestries, can bring much-needed color and texture to bare walls. The best textile wall hangings or tapestries are crafted of high-quality materials, such as linen.

Many fabric wall hangings come with their own mount kits for easy, damage-free hanging.

Herman Miller’s assortment of wall hangings includes Alexander Girard’s whimsical Environmental Enrichment Panels. Originally designed as wall art for offices, these modern screen-printed tapestries are produced on pure linen. Girard’s penchant for graphic patterns and bold colors make his fabric wall hangings appropriate for any design scheme. With included hanging kits, these tapestries make for easy upgrades to your home decor.
