Most of the interior spaces we dwell in, be it our living space or our office, are made up of rectangles and straight lines, and that includes our furniture pieces as well. Hence, the decision to comply with the right angles and straight lines also influences the rugs we buy for our spaces, making round rugs extremely underestimated in how it can greatly influence your decor positively by adding softness to our rectangular and square spaces. Here are a few ways in which you can include a round carpet in every room of your home:

In a round room

The easiest way to incorporate a round rug in your home is to place it where the architecture of the space easily allows it, like in a round room or a unique architectural feature in your home which is round. Adding a round carpet in such a room will underline its architectural uniqueness and highlight the curved walls, windows, and a circular ceiling detail of the space beautifully.

To highlight a circular object

While rectangular rugs are most commonly chosen for spaces like the living room and the dining space, circular pieces of furniture like the coffee table and the dining table can greatly benefit from round rugs. Even a beautiful statement round chandelier can benefit from a round rug to anchor the space and make it pop. All you need to ensure is that the rug is placed in the center of the round furniture for perfect symmetry and alignment.

In a small room

Did you know that interior designers often rely on round rugs to make a small space look bigger? The curving lines of the rug allows the vision to follow in fluid movement and doesn’t make you feel boxed in, a risk that rectangular rugs may run in a small room. Use round rugs as focal points in a small room to create an interesting contrast with the right angles of the walls.

For creating a vignette

If you live in a house with an open concept plan or you want to create distinct zones in a room that is large enough to include separate functional spaces, round rugs can go a long way in defining that. For example, if you have a spacious bedroom, use a soft, comfy, shaggy round rug to create a reading nook for yourself by placing a chair and a small side table. Or, if you live in a loft, you can create floating islands for different spaces or even pieces of furniture to make your space look tied together and coherent.

Layer your carpet

Does your home have wall-to-wall carpeted floors? Then it can benefit greatly from an accent round rug in contrasting colors and eye-catching patterns or interesting texture. This is a bold but also an easy way to introduce a bold color or pattern to your otherwise monotonous carpeted floors. The round shape of the rug will also underscore its beautiful design.

There are infinite ways in which you can add round rugs in your home. Invest in a few and you will see how they come handy in changing the aesthetic of the space or adding an element of visual surprise.
