When rug shopping, the size and shape of your room will determine the size and shape of your rug. (Be sure to check out our rug size buying guide to figure out the ideal dimensions.) Consider furniture, vent or outlet placement, as well as your personal style and how the room is used—for instance, lots of foot traffic versus none will help you determine pile thickness and colour.

How to style round rugs

A round rug can help open up a smaller space by softening the sharpness of the corners, accentuating a rounded feature like a curved wall or window, or creating a dramatic focal point.

They layer well over larger carpets, can visually break up an area for better flow and can instantly jazz up an entranceway. (For another entranceway option, consider the runner rug.) Don’t forget a rug pad to keep it it in place.

Simons Maison Dotted Mesh Round Rug, $248

A beige higher pile round rug from simons with a black cross pattern on it.

This is a more muted Moroccan-inspired pattern that goes with everything and won’t look dated. It’s plush and soft, and made from polypropylene for easy clean up. The classic crosshatch in black and ivory is polished, yet still warm and inviting. Available in 5- and 6.5-ft diameters.

Jaque Checkered Rug, $385

A black-and-white checkerboard round rug by Ruggable.

At this point, the checkerboard pattern has evolved from a trend to a true classic. Also available in slate green and a neutral stone, we're partial to the black-and-white version shown here. It comes in two piles—flatwoven and tufted—and in 6- and 8-ft diameters.

Like all Ruggables, this rug is machine washable, so don’t be afraid to use it in a dining room or bathroom.

Nuloom Tammara Bohemian Round Rug, from $177

A brightly coloured braided round rug from Amazon.

We love the bright colours and homespun feel of this high-pile hand-braided round rug, available in 6- and 8-ft. diameters. However, it's a bit of a delicate flower: It shouldn't be placed in direct sunlight and isn't machine washable. Instead, spot treat stains (although on the bright side, the bold pattern should conceal most of them).

Simons Maison Confetti Round Rug, $50

A beige fringed round rug with a pastel confetti pattern.

This sweet fringed round rug would look darling in a nursery, but the neutral palette and whimsical pattern works for other spaces too. Made from recycled cotton, it’s 4 ft in diameter, ideal for a bathroom, foyer or reading nook. It also layers well over a thicker carpet.

A tufted woold round rug from Simons.

This 80 percent wool, 20 percent cotton rug is soft with a low pile and comes in black, fawn, dusky pink and khaki, in 5- and 7-ft diameters. The khaki, shown here, is practically a neutral. It fits into a variety of colour schemes and decor styles.
