When designing your rooms, why not go bold and experiment with new ideas? Try out different color schemes, unique designs, and unconventional furniture shapes to give your space a fresh and exciting look.
Let’s take a closer look at rugs and carpets.
We often gravitate toward rectangular or square rugs because our furniture and spaces generally feature right angles. However, did you know that round rugs can bring just as much flair to your room as their square and rectangular counterparts? They can make a room feel more open and inviting. Plus, if your space has curved architectural details or round furniture, a round rug will blend seamlessly with the overall decor.
There are many ways to style round rugs. Here are a few ideas to refresh your space:
Styling round rugs in the living room
Round rugs are perfect for creating a focal point or highlighting a specific area in your living room. They work particularly well if you want to draw attention to a striking piece of furniture or artwork. You can place furniture on top of the rug or arrange it around the edges. However, be cautious not to overload the rug with too much furniture, as this can make the space feel cluttered. If you have a round architectural feature, like a chandelier, align it with the rug to add symmetry.
Incorporating round rugs in the dining area
Round rugs complement round dining tables beautifully. Position the rug so that chairs can move easily in and out from the table. Ideally, the rug should extend at least 30 inches beyond the table on all sides.
Using round rugs in the bedroom
There’s nothing quite like stepping onto a soft round rug instead of a cold floor first thing in the morning. Add comfort to your bedroom by placing round rugs on either side of the bed, or opt for one large rug centered under the bed for a cohesive look.
Round rugs in the children’s play area
Round rugs bring a playful touch to children's play spaces while also adding warmth and providing a cushioned surface to prevent injuries. Choose a rug that's large enough to fit toys and books for easy clean-up. Softer materials like wool or silk are ideal since children spend a lot of time on the floor.
Round rugs in the bathroom
Add a bit of luxury to your bathroom with a round rug. They’re soft, providing comfort between the bathing and vanity areas, and they add warmth. Most importantly, they’re safer for children and the elderly, who may be prone to slips on wet floors. Just remember to clean the rugs regularly to prevent mold or bacteria buildup.
Conclusion
When positioned thoughtfully, round rugs can enhance the overall look of any room. Choose a rug that complements your decor and furniture while being durable enough for everyday use.
