If you like a touch of whimsy and quirkyness in your rugs as I do, consider making a few changes in your design or your purchased pattern. I am not fond of precise symmetry so I make small changes on each side of my pattern as I hook. I change leaf or flower shapes just a bit, change colours in the pattern or even change the size of a motif just a small amount so it looks freehand. When studying the old Frakturs, I have noted that they have many motifs that are a bit odd or off!
That is the look I like in my rugs. Perhaps you do too!
