A round area rug adds warmth and elegance to any room. It balances the monotonous repetition of square and rectangular shapes formed by furniture arrangement. Here, we are going to discuss how to decorate with round rugs at home for both style and function.
1. Choosing the Right Size and Placement
First, select the size. The wrong size is either too big for the space, making it overwhelm the space, or it’s too small, so it will be out of place. The harmony to be achieved should consider room dimensions and furniture layout. Here are some guidelines:
For Entryways
A round area rug of small or medium size is perfect to greet visitors and set a tone in the home’s decor. You can test the Dazzle 54076GRN Green Rug, which is quite bright yet subtle with a green colour tone.
In the living room choose a larger round rug that falls under the main seating. Allow at least the front legs of the furniture to contact the rug anchoring the space and giving it some cohesion.
Dining Rooms: Glowing floor coverings under a round dining table look trendy, replicating the shape of the table. A sizable floor covering that submerges the surrounding space prevents awkward sliding in and out of chairs.
Bedrooms: A round rug at the foot of the bed, or one side, for example, can be very cozy. It can make furniture like a bed frame, or dresser, thus making it look more stylish.
2. Playing with Patterns and Colours
Round area rugs are available in many patterns and colour schemes. This way, you can customize each room with its specific style and hue.
Dazzle 54076GRN Green Rug The Colour brings an earthy feel that mixes well with indoor plants and wicker furniture and with warm wooden tones.
If the person wants to add classic elegance to his or her home, the Ariana 4310 Ivory/Red Rug offers a beautifully detailed pattern with an ivory and red combination. The rug can immediately make the ambiance of a formal living room or dining area rich.
Soft and subtle tones: The Calla 6922 Grey/Blue Leila Rug brings a cool grey and blue tone into the room, perfect for modern or coastal decor. Neutral shades help to give living rooms or bedrooms a soothing feel.
You could use round area rugs that either contrast or complement the room’s existing colours.Â
3. Enhancing Functionality with Round Rugs
Round area rugs are pleasing to the eyes but useful too. They are soft on the feet, and to protect your flooring from scratches caused by furniture, using area rugs can be an effective solution.
Comfort Underfoot: A round area rug can be placed where people spend much time standing, for example, in the kitchen or bathroom, it provides a softer surface, soft on the feet. It is suitable for smaller rugs such as the Dazzle 54076GRN Green Rug.
Noise Reduction: Round rugs are very good at sound absorption and, therefore, are very good for areas where you want to minimize echoes. A large round rug in a sitting or entertainment room will help create a warm, quieter space.
They can be placed under heavy furniture to prevent dents and scratches on hardwood or tile floors. They also help protect high-traffic areas, such as entryways, from dirt and wear.
4. Layering with Round Rugs
Layering rugs is the modern way of giving a space texture and depth. Another way to add contrasting shapes is by using round rugs.
Layer Round on Rectangle: The focal point could be achieved with a balance by layering a rectangular rug underneath a round rug. This would be better suited for larger rooms that need visual interest but should not overwhelm the space.
Mix up the texture: Combine a velvet round rug, with a level-weave base rug for the soft textured feel. Layering different textures is an excellent way to introduce variety while staying with a monochromatic colour scheme.
Creating Visual Flow and Defining Spaces
Round area rugs can define zones in an open-plan space or make small rooms seem larger by creating a sense of visual flow across the room.
Create Focal Points: Place a round rug under a chandelier or pendant light to create a stunning focal point. Create a reading nook by placing the Ariana 4310 Ivory/Red Rug under a lounge chair and side table.
Use as Anchors in Open Layouts: Sometimes open layouts can feel unlinked, but round rugs will help anchor different sections. For example, you can put it under the dining area to separate it from the living room.
An Optical Illusion for a Small-Sized Space: Round rugs will deceive your eyes into seeing more of the floor space; it is very suitable and good for small rooms or small spaces, such as entryways or bathrooms. They don’t have sharp edges that create visual flow, giving the general room a softer look.
 Maintenance Tips for Round Area Rugs
Round area rugs require regular cleanings to look their best and help to stay longer. Here’s how to do it:
Rotate periodically: Rotate your rug periodically every few months so it can wear evenly and to avoid fading the same spot areas due to the sun.
Vacuum with Care: Vacuum using a gentle brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust and debris without damaging the rug fibers.
Spot clean stains. For spills and stains, use mild detergent and a damp cloth; blot gently to avoid setting the stain.
