Home Design With A Round Area Rug

By Phil Paterson

If you are unsure about which area rug is for you, a quick solution is to choose a round area rug. This option will avoid the chances of you buying what seems to be a perfect rug, only to find that it is too small, too big, or the wrong shape for the room. Whether they are rich, deep-hued Persian or plain pastels, round area rugs provide instant drama when added to a room. You are sure to find one to go with your design as they some in virtually every dcor theme and work with any room shape.

The quality and appearance of area rugs is predominantly determined by the type of material. Natural fibers and synthetic are your main choices. Natural fiber rugs are more environmentally friendly but synthetic fibers are stronger. It just depends what you want to get out of your rug.

Acrylic area rugs can be found in different colors. They are stain resistant as well as fade resistant. These rugs are good to use in the kitchen where the temperatures can become humid. Polypropylene area rugs can be the most durable choice in rugs. Nylon rugs are not chosen for comfort but they are durable and they are also low maintenance. Use these rugs in the bathrooms and the kitchen. Wool rugs are the best rugs to use. They offer a natural air filtering material that is soft. Cotton rugs are also soft buy they don't last as long. You can place these in the bedroom or living room. Jute area rugs are soft but they fade easily so avoid placing them in direct sunlight. Sisal area rugs do not tear and fade much. Natural fibers that are cheaper like the jute, sea grass, and bamboo are great for high traffic areas.

Round rugs work well in any room but the overall design of the room will determine how well they fit in. a bathroom rug can double up as a drying mat as well as serving as the centerpiece of the room. A square or rectangular rug can fold or crease but this does not happen as easily with a round rug. Water damages natural fibers and wool so make sure you choose a synthetic rug.

People will sometimes use an area rug for padding on their furniture. These coverings are simply a waste and should be used to place down in the middle of the floor for kids to play.

Each design on a round area rug can compliment the design in your room. You want everything to blend together. Match your rug to the dominant colors in your room first. You may want to go with a natural color instead; black or beige. If you are not sure what color to go with choose a red rug and decorate around the rug.
