How to Make a Round Rug Work

Maximising the Charm of a Round Rug in Your Living Space

Transforming spaces with unconventional choices can have stunning effects, as I discovered with our round dining table. Initially met with scepticism due to its unusual shape, the table has become a beloved centrepiece in our home, often mistaken for a custom piece due to its perfect fit.

Inspired by this experience, I'm excited to explore the potential of round rugs from Rug Love. Though often overshadowed by their rectangular counterparts, round rugs offer a distinctive flair to any room. Here are ten strategies to elegantly integrate a round rug into your living space:

1. Identifying the Centrepiece: Position your round rug to highlight the room's focal point, be it a cosy seating arrangement, beneath a coffee table, or accentuating a unique furniture piece. This creates a visual anchor, integrating the rug seamlessly into the room’s layout.

2. Sizing Matters: Select a rug size that balances the room - too small may disjoint, while too large can overwhelm. Ideally, the rug should allow furniture to overlap slightly, fostering a cohesive look.

3. Patterns and Textures: Embrace bold patterns, intricate motifs, or rich textures that align with the room's aesthetic. Ensure the rug's design complements the room's existing elements for a harmonious appearance.

4. Innovative Layering: Layering a smaller round rug atop a larger, differently shaped rug can add intriguing depth and character to the space.

5. Room Shape Considerations: Round rugs are particularly striking in square or rectangular rooms, softening hard lines and adding fluidity. They can also enliven unconventional spaces, like expansive foyers or kitchens.

6. Zone Definition: In open-plan homes, round rugs can demarcate different areas, such as separating a living area from dining or workspace, adding structure while maintaining an overall unified look.

7. Material Selection: Consider the room's usage and foot traffic when choosing your rug's material. Durable, stain-resistant options like wool are ideal for busy areas.

8. Creative Placement: Challenge traditional placements by experimenting with off-centre positioning in larger rooms for a dynamic and engaging layout.

9. Colour Play: Have fun selecting colours - either harmonize with dominant hues in the room or opt for contrasting colours for a bold statement. Neutral tones offer versatility to adapt with changing décor styles.

10. Follow Your Instincts: Ultimately, trust your personal taste. While design guidelines are helpful, your own preference should dictate your final choice, ensuring the rug resonates with your unique style.
