Round Rugs

As their name suggests, round rugs are circular and can often be placed in any room. They tend to break the monotony of the rectangular and square floor rugs that many people are familiar with. Additionally, round rugs create depth and draw attention to particular areas of the room that may otherwise be uninteresting.

At Miss Amara online, we offer a variety of round rugs to suit everybody’s needs. From jute, cotton and polypropylene materials to designer and modern styles, you can be sure to find a rug that will boost the decor of your living space.

How to Choose the Best Round Rugs

Use the following tips to identify the best round rug for your home or office space.

Materials are important 

The type of material used in designing a round rug should be among your top priorities. Shag rugs are often made of soft materials such as wool and cotton which can absorb liquids and develop stubborn stains. 

That is why they should be preferred for places such as the bedroom where there is less human traffic. However, flatweave and jute rugs are low maintenance and can therefore be placed in just about any area including the kitchen, living room and office.

The size 

The size of a round rug is measured by its diameter rather than its length or height. Those with smaller diameters are ideal for accessorizing in areas with limited space while larger rugs can easily blend with the decor of a much larger room. 

However, there are unique circumstances where the decor requires you to use a small rug even in a large room. If you are unsure of how to take measurements, don't hesitate to ask us for help.

The climate 

Another consideration to make when choosing a round rug is the type of climate that prevails. For indoor rugs, you can often choose just about any type of rug. However, for outdoor rugs, you should go for those that are designed using a mould and sun-resistant properties. That helps to protect against the wear and tear that can be caused due to the changing weather.

The budget factor

The amount of money to spend on rugs is another factor to keep in mind. Luckily, at Miss Amara online we offer different rug designs and sizes at a range of prices to suit just about any budget.

How Can You Use Round Rugs?

Most people instinctively go for the traditional square or rectangular rugs but that may be because they do not really know how to use round rugs to achieve their goals. Here are a few ways to use round rugs in any room.

The bathroom

One of the best places to use a round rug is the bathroom. Because it is usually a smaller room when compared to others in the house, it is easy for you to locate the right placement for the rug. A round rug makes the bathroom appear cozy and warm rather than being plain and chilly.

The outdoors

The outdoors are a large area with many different shapes and objects that compete for our attention. By placing a round outdoor rug in your patio, balcony or verandah, you effectively create a focal point. That means that anyone walking to such an area will immediately be drawn to the place with the rug.

The bedroom

Placing round rugs just next to your bed adds to the cozy feeling of the room. Keep in mind that some round shag rugs can be quite fluffy and inviting. What's more, the rug insulates your feet from the cold surface of the floor making it more than just an accessory.

The living room

Whether you have a large or small living room, round rugs can come in handy depending on what you wish to achieve. Large rooms can benefit from an addition of round rugs because they create an intimate area within the vastness. 

For instance, a round rug placed beneath the table and two chairs make it the focal point for intimate conversations. When used in small rooms, round rugs offer the illusion of space. They achieve that by softening the hard edges of furniture and creating defined spaces within the room.

How Can You Clean Round Rugs?

For large round rugs, you should hire a professional to the cleaning for you. However, the following tips should help with rug maintenance.

Avoid spills and crumbs

Try as much as possible to limit the number of liquids or crumbs that fall onto your round rug. These things may sometimes be absorbed or clogged within the pores of the rug and can develop into stains or moulds.

Vacuum the rug 

If you have the time, vacuum the rug every weekend. When vacuuming, make sure to lift the rug and vacuum the lower parts as well. Of course, you can always repeat the process more than once a week as long as you feel that it has dirt or debris.

Clean stains quickly 

As soon as you realize some spillage that can cause staining, get a piece of cloth, some water and soap to wipe it off. Spills that remain on the rug for long periods can become problematic in the future.
