What Round Rugs Can Do for Your Home

Can round rugs be used anywhere in your home, or do they have a specific use case? How do I make the right choice when they come in so many sizes, colors, and styles? And what, exactly, does a round rug do to a room?

After all, the rooms in a home are often angular. This means that naturally, square or rectangular rugs with their four right angles will feel more like a safe choice. 

Sometimes though, it’s good to step out of your comfort zone and a rug is a good place to start! So, again, what does a round rug do to a room? Follow along to find out.

A round rug can be a room centerpiece.

Let’s start with simple aesthetics. Many spaces have a centralized or obvious focal point. An office, for example, might highlight your accolades or a special collection of antique trains. Your eyes are drawn to them, which naturally brings you into the room.

A round rug can do the same thing for a room. It acts as a centerpiece in a room, with its contrasting round edges helping to draw you in. When used creatively with other types of fixtures and furniture, it serves to decorate the floor while tying everything else in artistically.

A round rug can make a small space feel bigger.

If a round rug can provide an aesthetic benefit, can it also act as a practical one? In a word, yes! One of the biggest things a round rug can do to a room is make it feel larger than it is. Because the round edge arches away from your view, it draws the eye with it, giving the impression of a larger and more spacious area.

A round rug can work particularly well in an older home, such as one that might predate the 1920s. These older houses were not designed with a modern sense of comfort or space, so a round rug can help offset this deficiency in a home’s layout. 

Round rugs are great for walkways.

One area you’re sure to overlook is the area where two hallways intersect. This is maybe less common in a home and more likely a tip to use in a professional space. Nevertheless, using a round rug in high-traffic areas such as these, especially in locations like hotels and offices can serve the room well and add a sense of cohesiveness to the area.

Round rugs can create a modern feel.

One of the mindsets of the 21st-century homeowner is to have a trendy home. A round rug helps to accomplish this goal, as not only will your choice stand out from the crowd, it can make you feel more relaxed in your home after spending a long day at work in a cold environment.
