William Morris main proponent of the movement emphasized the use of handcrafts over the use of machinery and introduced a new design sensibility that evoked nature in home interiors through furniture upholstery wallpaper and rugs with intricate intertwining fruit flower and foliage patterns. The popularity of Morris�s rug designs has endured to the current times and stands emblematic of Art & Crafts rugs with their simple bold informal design themes rooted in nature. Today the Arts & Crafts rugs embrace a multitude of styles ranging from the Art Nouveau style (rug patterns with flowing curvilinear lines and nature-inspired floral designs) Mission-style as well as geometric patterns inspired by Native American designs American Prairie style and Caucasian rugs (hand-knotted rugs made in a small Middle-Eastern region called the Caucasus). Arts and Crafts Rugs' natural motifs and interesting colour palette add to their versatility and enduring charm.
