Rugs are actually a tradition that stretches back in time and are more than embellishments for your home. A rug's style, colour, pattern and shape are all characteristics of how it will make your room look and feel.
When you think of rugs you think of rectangular or square rugs that fit perfectly on your floor, but have you ever considered round rugs? Round rugs can be a welcome change, although it can be hard to know just what to do with one. Here are a few easy ideas for pulling off round rounds stylishly.
The biggest rule, just as for square and rectangular rugs, is to make sure your round rug is big enough for all of your room's major furniture pieces to touch to help bring cohesion.
An obvious choice is to use round rugs under round or curvy furniture like dining or coffee tables. Don't forget that all rugs under dining tables have to be big enough so when chairs are pulled out, they are still on the rug, creating harmony and balance.
Like all rugs, round rugs help to define an area like entryways, bathrooms or the corner of a larger room, especially if it's colourful or patterned and creates a space to linger, or a pit stop.
In a minimalistic room, especially one with harsh edges, round rugs adds an element of softness and creates contrast in a room. Round rugs work well in rooms like these because it has more opportunity to show off its shape. To help make the room flow, incorporate the same colour or pattern from the round rug elsewhere in the room, like a statement chair or art piece.
Designers often use a round rug to make small spaces look bigger and in a living room, placing a round rug's edge underneath a couch, pulls the couch away from the wall visually and really makes the rug stand out.
