5 x 5 Area Rugs

Perfectly Square Style: Today’s Selection of 5 x 5 Area Rugs

In the world of home decor a rug can transform a room adding warmth, texture, and definition. Indeed, we see mostly the classic rectangular shaped rugs but square area rugs present a unique and often ignored opportunity to liven up interior spaces. In that regard the 5 x 5 size really does stand out which is at once a compact size but very much a statement piece that brings balance, charm, and style to small and transitional spaces.

Why pick out a 5 x 5 Area rug?

In the 5’x5’ size we see an ideal option for spaces or areas that don’t require a full sized rug but do for the visual tie and warmth a rug brings. Not too big, not too small this size does just what is right for small spaces while at the same time making a design statement.

Here is what homeowners and designers love about this flexible size

1. Perfect for small or square rooms

A 5 x 5 rug works well in square small rooms like reading nooks, guest rooms, breakfast nook areas, or compact living spaces. They bring out the symmetry in the room and at the same time improve visual balance which larger rectangular rugs may not do.

2. Great for layering

Layer in rugs which is a current trend in interior design. I have a 5×5 area rug placed over a larger neutral base rug which brings in color, pattern or texture which in turn creates a focus in the room without over doing it.

3. Great for entryways and transition spaces

Entryways, foyers, and transition areas do well with a little bit of warm character. In this case a 5 x 5 rug is a great choice which also serves as a soft floor covering for shoes and feet as well as that which puts a design touch to your home’s first impression.

4. Fills in nooks and crannies

In that empty corner of the room which you wish to turn into a reading nook or a meditation area go for a 5 x 5 area rug to define the space. Add in a comfortable chair, a floor lamp and some green plants and you have yourself a peaceful mini retreat.
