Round rugs are one of the easiest ways to soften a room full of straight edges and sharp corners. But because there's no 'standard' round rug the way there is for rectangular sizes, choosing a diameter can feel trickier - here's a simple way to think about it.
Small spaces and accent pieces
A 120-150cm round rug is ideal under a round dining nook table, a reading chair, or as a soft landing spot beside the bed.
Anchoring a full seating group
For a proper living room statement, 200cm or larger lets a round rug do the same job a large rectangular rug would - grounding the whole seating arrangement rather than just one piece of furniture.
Frequently Asked Question
What size round rug should I buy?
As a guide, use a 120-150cm round rug under a bedside or bistro table, 180-200cm for a compact living room seating area, and 220cm or larger to anchor a full lounge suite in an open-plan space.
