Scandinavian style has some unmistakable characteristics. The light-wood finishes and clean lines. The modern touches and thoughtful, inviting decor. The geometric designs that are minimal yet oh-so-cool. And, of course, the plush textures that lend a feeling of hygge to any space.

To complete this look, we think that Scandinavian-style rugs are definitely in order. When shopping for a Nordic-inspired rug, keep your eye out for sumptuous, soft textures; neutral colors; and abstract, linear designs. From good ol' IKEA to design houses that specialize in making rugs an art form, here are 13 options that are guaranteed to warm up your space.
