Round Rugs: 5 Brilliant Ideas On How To Place And Use Them.

Do you feel like your home needs a makeover? We’re going to show you how you can do so by simply using round rugs to their full potential.

1- Place the rugs under circular/curved furniture

When it comes to using round rugs to their full potential, one of the things you should use the most to your advantage is their smooth, round shape.

When decorating a room where you want to include round rugs in the decor, you should try to choose furniture that complements and matches the rugs’ shapes and aesthetic, which means that curved or circular furniture should be your pick.

Take this living room as an example. Notice how almost all the furniture in this room is round and curved; from the table to the armchair, they blend in with the expressiveness and aesthetic of the round rugs.

2-Soften angular rooms and create contrast

If you have a room where sharp lines and rigid geometry, which are especially common in square rooms and modern interiors, round rugs can give a much more fluid and calming feel to the room.

By mixing soft and round shapes with your room’s naturally acute edges, you’re creating visual contrast, which can be used to easily divide themes and different aesthetics in your house, as well as to create new and exciting combinations that will be sure to bring a breath of fresh air to your home.

In this room, we can see straight lines are pretty dominant, and more cubic shapes are being used for the sofa, chairs, and other pieces of furniture and decor, making it very refreshing and interesting to see the contrast made by the rug.

3-Highlight specific areas of your room

If you’re having issues defining small areas in open-plan spaces, round rugs can also be used to help delimit these small spaces by using their circular shapes to visually separate an area without having to use walls.

This is especially helpful for studio apartments, lofts, or even open living-dining combos, where dividing spaces with walls isn’t always an option due to the lack of available space.

Here we can see how the living room and the dining room are divided by the rug in the middle of the room, completely changing the ambience in between these two spaces.

Of course, for even bigger rooms, this is something that would be even more important in order to make sure different sections don’t mix, keeping them neatly separated, making this a very helpful use for round rugs.

4- Make your room even more interesting using texture and patterns

If you think your room still feels a little dull, maybe you need a few textured round rugs with interesting colors and patterns that will add more depth and personality to your room.

Make sure to use your creativity to its fullest potential and experiment using different colors, positions, decor pieces, and furniture to make your room as lively as you want.

In this room, round rugs were used to make the room’s color and personality stand out, along with the astounding pieces of decor and furniture that together made a truly unique and lively room.

Notice how the colors of the rugs are also an essential touch to the room since they reflect the warm ambience that this room transmits, through its use of browns, reds other warm colors.

5-Use your room’s architecture to your favor

Make sure to take advantage of your room’s natural curves, windows, doorways, staircases, ceilings, and all of the architectural features you can use to your advantage to match your round rugs.

Make sure you use rugs that match the overall aesthetic that your room is going for, or else it will feel like something that’s not a part of the space, making it stand out for all of the wrong reasons.

Notice how the dominant brown colors in this room are also present in the rug in the center, which makes it fit with the overall rustic and classical aesthetic of this room.
