Home Dynamix Royalty Area RugOne of the least common styles of carpet is round area rugs. Most people are seeking rectangular or square rugs to fit their rooms symmetrically. If a more rounded profile is desired, they’ll often choose an oval over round area rugs, as the oval tends to fit more comfortably into an overall design scheme.

Yet there are some situations where round rugs can offer a dramatic accent to a room’s style, and others where the complete unexpectedness of the shape turns a rather standard looking room into a classic design statement. Obviously, though, round rugs require a bit of thought to fit into an overall decorating scheme. Consider the following uses and special considerations for their use.

Round area rugs as accent pieces

Round rugs can create a beautiful ‘spotlight’ when used to highlight a piece of furniture. Try placing a small rug with an interesting border pattern beneath a round occasional table or chest to set it off on its own. A round rug used in that way should extend several inches beyond the perimeter of the tabletop.

Round area rugs as ‘area definers’

A round rug can be the perfect floor covering beneath a dinette set in a little alcove or corner of the room. Rugs used in this way should have either an all-over pattern or design (a braided round area rug is ideal in a Colonial or rustic country setting this way), or a border pattern. A central medallion would simply be lost beneath a table.

Round area rugs with center designs and medallions

Have you found a simply stunning area rug that fits beautifully with your room decor and colors – but aren’t sure how to fit it into your existing room design? Imagine it as the centerpiece of a small furniture grouping in a larger room, with the center medallion left uncovered as a focus. Picture a smaller round rug as a wall hanging in a room in which its colors are used. Center it over a wood floor, or a solid carpet, using it to anchor the furniture. There are many possibilities if you open your eyes to them.
