Many homeowners envision an area rug in a single shape: rectangular. While these are both popular and plentiful in today’s market, other options exist. Oval and square rugs make great additions to your home. In addition, there are several places to use a round rug in your home. Here are four of our favorites and a brief breakdown of the psychology of shape.
Shape Psychology
You’ll find many references to the psychology of color and the reasons for choosing specific shades for specific spaces on our blog. That’s because color naturally plays a large part in a room’s look and feel.
Here’s one we’ve not touched on much. Did you know shapes have a similar effect on us as color? The psychology of shapes is often considered when designing a business logo or a social media image. But it has a place in your rug choice as well.
Take round rugs, for example. Circles represent wholeness or completeness. In some rug-weaving cultures, the circle has a religious connotation as well.
How does this translate to the rooms in your home? The most straightforward answer is that a round rug will complete the look of your space and bring it all together. The edges of a round rug are also soft and subtle, allowing the rug to blend into the overall room decor.
Dining Room
Do you have a formal dining room only used for holidays and fancy get-togethers? Or maybe you have an integrated dining room as a part of your great room? Or perhaps still, your dining area is set inside your kitchen.
What do each of these spaces have in common? They can all benefit from the addition of a round rug. It’s a unique style of rug that equally complements this special area.
Living Room
Round rugs are the perfect finishing touch in a living room. If your space is on the smaller side, the curved edges of the rug will help it appear larger. In a larger area, a round rug can be a centering piece of your decor, tying the bow on the finished package.
Main Bedroom
Remember earlier when we mentioned a round rug’s soft, subtle nature? What better area for this than in your primary bedroom? Ideally, a bedroom’s design should be calming and relaxing as it’s the place you go to unwind after a long and stressful day.
Home Office
For many, work-from-home is the new norm. These remote workers need something to help them tap into their focused side. A round rug can help soften the space and unlock their creative energies.
