RUG SHAPES

Rug are a basic element of home decor. They bring comfort, style, and heat to any room. What you choose in terms of rug shape will transform how a room presents itself. As you decorate your living room, bedroom, hallway or dining area the shape of your rug is key. It1’s in how they define spaces, balance out furniture, and in creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Let us look at the best rug shapes and styles for each room in your home and what each does differently.

1. Living Room – Rectangular Rugs

In the living room the most popular rug shape is that of the rectangle. This shape goes well with most furniture arrangements. It may tie a seating area together which in turn brings the sofa, chairs, and coffee table together. For best results choose a rug which is large enough for the front legs of your furniture to rest on it. This creates a balanced and connected look. A rectangular rug does a great job of defining the living space in particular in open floor plans.

2. Bedroom – Square or Runner Rugs

In the matter of bedding out and rug placement in the bedroom the size of the room and that of the bed play a key role. Square rugs do very well under small beds or in square rooms. As for large scale rooms or where you wish to go for a 3D effect try out runner rugs which you place on either side of the bed they bring in both function and style. They also serve as a soft welcome for your feet first thing in the morning and protect your floors from wear out.

3. Dining Room – Round or Rectangular Rugs

Dining rooms see the greatest benefit from area rugs which complement the shape of the table. If you have a round table we recommend a round rug which brings in a flow and balance to the space. It also helps keep the furniture centered and introduces a natural and soft element. For rectangular tables we see that a rectangular rug works best. Also note to choose a rug shapes large enough to allow for chair movement in and out without the chair going off the edge of the rug

4. Kitchen – Runner Rugs

In the kitchen which is a room that often gets left out when putting in a rug scheme we present to you that this is a great mistake. We have the runner rug which is a perfect solution for the galley kitchen that has little floor space or between an island and the counter.

5. Entryway – Round or Rectangular Rugs

Your entryway is the first thing which greets you upon arrival. In small entry ways a round rug does great duty or under round lights which draw the eye out into the space and welcome you in. For large or very long entry ways a rectangular rug will direct the eye and in some illusory way make it appear to be longer.

6. Bathroom – Small Round or Contour Rugs

In the bathroom go for a rug that is the right size and which improves safety. Round small area rugs bring in softness and charm when placed before the sink or tub.

Conclusion

Choosing what is the perfect rug shapes for your home is based on room size and function. In living and dining areas rectangular rugs do very well, round rugs bring in that soft element and balance, runner rugs are ideal for narrow spaces like hallways and kitchen’s and square or small area rugs do best in bathrooms or under small tables. By choosing the right shape for each room you can bring a sense of peace and balance to your home.
