Why choose a round rug?

Furniture typically has right angles, and so do the walls of most rooms. It makes sense to often choose the standard rectangle shape floor rug. There are some specific situations however where a room could benefit more from a round rug. For example, they are the perfect choice for small rooms, nooks, defining an area and for highlighting round furniture accents.

Placing a circular rug under a circular dining table or coffee table can help to underscore these pieces, drawing attention to their shape and design. This is a simple yet effective way to create focal points in a room and add depth to the overall decor. Another reason for choosing a round rug is their ability to make a room appear larger. Their circular design can give the illusion of more space, making them an excellent option for small rooms or areas where space optimisation is a priority. A round rug helps create fluid movement in the room, your eye will follow the curves of the rug creating the illusion of more space.

Baya Rugs

One of our favourite Baya round rug designs is the Fayette by Baya at 210cmD. A standout piece, the patterning of this floor rug is created by a specialized dyeing process applied to a hand tufted base. Woven in a soft wool-viscose blend and featuring gently shimmering details, the Fayette’s circular design creates a wonderful focal point. If blue is more your theme, we recommend checking out the Cape Brett Marine floor rug in 210cmD. Beautiful depth of colour is also achieved through a specialised over-dyeing process applied to a handtufted base. Style with mineral blues and textural pieces for a tranquil and luxurious aesthetic.

Ollo Rugs

We also love the latest Ollo round rug designs including the Angelo. A soft, abstract design, Angelo is a fantastic base piece in neutral tones, to build your living space around. This rug offers a smaller option at 160cmD.

Indoor & Outdoor Rugs

If you are looking for an indoor/outdoor option, we highly recommend the Palm Cove. Available in three colours and two sizes 210cmD and 280cmD, this rug features a beautiful mottled combination of tones. This floor rug is crafted using PET yarn, a resilient fibre made from recycled plastic bottles. In addition to its soft and supple nature, this environmentally conscious product repurposes a resource that is otherwise destined for landfill.
