Round/Oval/Square

Finding the right rug to place under your kitchen or dining table can be a task all by itself, especially if you have a round or square table. For big dining tables, it is easy to pick up a large area rug, but for smaller tables and bistro tables, you want a rug that doesn't dwarf your table.

Round area rugs and square rugs are a great choice to place under your smaller dining sets. These rugs protect your floors from scratching chairs and table movement. Rugs also deaden the sound the chairs make, which helps to create a soothing atmosphere at meal times. If you have a drop-leaf table or an extendable table, don't worry about picking out one large rectangular area rug. Instead, look for a medium-sized oval rug. Oval rugs will still protect your floor without overpowering your space.

Another area to use your round, oval and square rugs is in your living room or bedroom. To create an intimate space, use a smaller round rug or square rug surrounded by your furniture. With this home design idea, you can have specially designated spaces, even in larger rooms.

As with any rug on any carpet or floor surface, use a rug pad underneath your round rugs, oval rugs and square rugs. Rug pads are designed to prevent bunching and slipping, which can be dangerous. The non-slip rug pads not only protect your carpet from everyday wear and tear; they also provide padding for comfort when walking on your rugs.
