Spin Me Right Round

Round rugs are an unexpected alternative to the conventional rectangular rug. The unusual twist on the shape adds depth and interest.

5 Benefits of Decorating with Round Rugs

- Circular rugs offset the rectangular nature of floors, walls, openings, and furniture. In doing so, they visually soften a space by creating a fluid flow for the eye to follow.

- The round shape defines intimate conversation areas and enhances the coziness and intimacy of seating arrangements.

- Circular rugs visually open up areas, making small rooms feel larger. They expand beyond the hard edges of furniture and define "pools" of space rather than the rectangular zones.

-When layered over a rectangular rug, or wall-to-wall carpeting, the round shape creates depth and adds warmth and texture.

-Round rugs can be successfully used to create a cohesive look. By echoing other circular shapes in furniture, accessories or the architecture of the space a theme is repeated without seeming overdone or matchy-matchy.
