We Tested (and Rated!) Every Rug at CB2

"Although it might not be the first brand to come to mind, CB2 should be on your list - especially if your style leans bold and contemporary. CB2's rug collection is full of gorgeous designs, natural materials (most are made of wool), and rich colors, which makes it easy for you to find the perfect statement piece to anchor whatever room you're decorating."

"To make the shopping process easier, we visited a Manhattan CB2 store as part of our Personal Shopper series, where we check out all of a retailer's wares in a specific category and give you our professional opinions. For this edition, we got up close and personal with seven of CB2's rugs, including plush, neutral options and vintage-inspired flatwoven designs. Although there are more to check out online, the seven bestsellers we saw comprise a nice range of styles and budgets."

"CB2 is part of the Crate & Barrel family, and is known for being more contemporary and trend-focused than its sister brand. While Crate & Barrel's rugs are typically more neutral and classic, CB2's collection includes rugs with geometric patterns, bold colors, and design features like fringe and tufting (although more basic options are available too). CB2 also does a ton of collaborations with top designers, so its offerings tend to have a more curated vibe."

CB2's rug selection emphasizes bold, contemporary aesthetics with geometric patterns, rich colors, and design details such as fringe and tufting. Most rugs use natural materials, primarily wool, and the line includes both plush neutrals and vintage-inspired flatwoven designs. A Manhattan CB2 store was visited to inspect seven bestselling rugs that span styles and budgets, offering statement pieces alongside more basic options. CB2 operates as a more contemporary, trend-focused sibling to Crate & Barrel and frequently collaborates with top designers, producing curated, design-forward offerings that are more affordable than many modern furniture brands but not budget-level.
