So, you\u2019re thinking about round rugs? They\u2019re an exciting choice to break up the monotony in a square room and are an easy option to update your space and showcase your design prowess.

Where to Use Round Rugs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Round rugs can be used in virtually any space that you would use a square rug. They bring an element of surprise and can even be a conversation piece. Here are a few placement ideas:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kitchen or Dining Area<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"DiningOne of our favorite decor choices is to use a round rug under a round table to create visual balance. It creates immediate design appeal and brings the room together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want to use a round rug under a round table, ensure that it\u2019s large enough that the entire chair stays on the rug even when it\u2019s pulled out. The standard is to ensure the rug extends 30 inches beyond the table.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A round rug could work under a square dining table too, just be sure it\u2019s large enough so the shapes stay distinct from each other.<\/p>\n

Entryway or Living Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A round rug in an entryway sets the stage for the rest of the space. If you have ample room, you could place a circle console table on a circle rug for symmetry. Living rooms with curved or circular furniture can benefit from round rugs too. A round living room rug will look best if it isn\u2019t touching any walls.<\/p>\n

Bathroom <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The bathroom is an ideal space to try something different and add a round rug as a bathmat. The trick is to make sure the bathroom rug has enough space so that it\u2019s not touching any of the walls, or it could it look out of place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plus, a round rug in the bathroom with a plush rug pad underneath adds an element of coziness and keeps feet warm on cold tile floors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bedrooms<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A round rug with a cushy rug pad is a trendy design choice for a bedroom where it can fit partially under the bed. Likewise, a round rug is an excellent choice for more oversized bedrooms to create a separate section for a reading nook or seating area.<\/p>\n
