Round rugs

Are you looking for a round rug to structure a lounge area, install a circular dining area or soften a bedroom? The round rug meets these intentions by playing on diameter, material and thickness to adjust to furniture and circulation. The right choice harmonizes dimensions, style and maintenance, while taking into account compatibility with existing doors and coverings.

Before any purchase, define the round rug's main use: delimiting a living room, framing a coffee table, underlining a bed or furnishing an entrance. The diameter determines the visual effect and circulation; a small diameter is suitable for a reading corner or side table, while a large diameter anchors a sofa area. Measure the length of the sofa, the width of the table and leave 20 to 40 cm around the furniture for a balanced look. Also check the total height (carpet + underlay) to ensure compatibility with door openings.

Materials, care and performance

Material guides appearance and use: wool provides warmth, strength and soundproofing; cotton offers easy-care softness; synthetic fibers are often more stain-resistant and suitable for high-traffic areas. Velvet or curly fibers modulate relief and aesthetics. For maintenance, choose a carpet with a water-repellent treatment for intensive use, and check the manufacturer's cleaning recommendations. The anti-slip option is essential for safety, especially on smooth floors.

Styles, colors and placement depending on the room

Round rugs can be neutral to extend an existing palette or contrasting to create a focal point. In a contemporary living room, a round rug plays on textures - looped wool versus short pile - to add depth. In a bedroom, opt for soft fibers and a comfortable thickness for waking up in the morning. At the entrance, a sturdy fabric and dirt-repellent treatment facilitate maintenance. Think about scale: a pattern that's too busy reduces the impression of space on small surfaces, whereas a large pattern enhances a vast living room.

Concretely, two criteria help selection: diameter in relation to furniture (choose at least 60 cm overhang around a coffee table or 40 cm around a bed) and thickness compatibility with doorways. Add a non-slip underlay adapted to the type of floor to prolong life and improve comfort.

Our practical advice: measure the area to be covered before buying, check the composition for maintenance and favour finishes that match the use. A well-chosen round rug balances aesthetics and functionality, defining areas without compromising circulation.
