Rugs can be surprisingly difficult to shop for, but not for a lack of options. The plethora of rug colors, patterns, shapes, and sizes is actually kind of the problem — with so many styles to choose from, it’s hard to know which will be the one you like in your space today and for years to come. One reliable way to solve that dilemma is to go with something that’s designed by a professional artist, because their work is meant to last.

Now, you can get legitimate works of art on your floors thanks to a new collaboration between Ruggable and the estate of the late painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. This exclusive collection takes paintings from Basquiat’s repertoire and puts those designs on rugs of eight different sizes, as well as a few on doormats. Basquiat’s iconic style is a little unexpected for the realm of home decor, so these rugs add some intrigue to your living room, bedroom, or even your home’s front door.

If you’re not familiar with Ruggable, almost all of their rugs can be detached from the base layer and cleaned in your washing machine. That makes caring for them super convenient and helps when it comes time to move and you need to roll your rugs up. You can also choose between standard and cushioned rug pads, depending on how plush you want your new floor coverings to feel. Check out some of our favorite picks below and get ready to find the perfect rug for your home.

By using a grayscale color scheme, this design has a look that's reminiscent of paper, on which Basquiat created much of his work. The pattern comes from Basquiat's "600 Dollars in Dimes" painting and, like everything in the collection, is available in sizes from 2 feet by 3 feet to 9 feet by 12 feet.
