Round Rugs – Exploring Different Materials and Textures for Various Décor Styles

Depending on the size of a room, your rug can be a major focal point. It can act as a centerpiece, highlighting your table or another piece of furniture. Your rug can also be a safety feature, providing extra grip for those less stable on their feet. Finally, a rug can bring an entire room together, which is what we will focus on today. Specifically, we’ll be exploring round rugs and the different materials and textures for various decor styles.

But before we focus on materials and textures, we’ll first answer a simple question: why choose a round rug in the first place?

Why choose a round rug?

Whenever you pick up a new book to read, you need to start at the beginning. Likewise, understanding the benefits of round rugs can help set the stage for exploring the different materials and textures for various decor styles.

So, to briefly recap why round rugs are an excellent option for your home, we’ll revisit a previous blog. There, we went into detail about how a round rug can affect your space. They can provide visual interest in a way the straight lines of a traditional rug do not. 

Round rugs can also make a room feel larger. Lastly, they can help define specific areas in a larger area within your home, such as an open floor plan or combined living and dining room. 

Natural Fibers

Some homeowners will choose rugs made with natural fibers like jute, sisal, or seagrass. Often, these rugs are used to layer under another rug, adding to the design element of the room. Round rugs made of natural fibers are a great option for those with nautical or beach-themed rooms and in bohemian and modern designs. Natural fibers bring an organic feel to the design of a room and, combined with the round shape of the rug, can act as the element that ties an entire space together. 

Wool

Wool is a common high-quality rug material. Local iron-rich deposits within the water supply help to fortify the wool from this region of the Rug Belt. Wool is highly popular, providing flexibility and reliability for artisans while providing a lush and comforting addition to your home decor.

Cotton

Cotton is the second on our list of popular rug materials. Though southern portions of the United States were historically associated with the cotton trade, cotton from the Rug Belt has a far more ancient tradition. Cotton is a durable and versatile material choice that blends seamlessly with the rest of your space.  

Silk

There is a reason that parts of the Middle East were historically known as the Silk Road! Silk was precious in ancient times, and genuine silk is highly popular today. When used in various styles of home decor, this material creates a highly luxurious look and feel for any type of room.
