Interior decorators like using square rugs with square elements in a room. They’re most popular in living rooms and dining rooms, though they’re also seen in bedrooms around the world. Despite the common belief that it's challenging to decorate with square rugs, they're easy to use for all skill levels.

Below, we've included a few of the many ways that you could use a square rug in your living room décor:

• You might place a grey square area rug in living room décor that’s minimalist or chic, accenting the square shape of the room. The square rug matching the space will make it seem roomier and more put together.
• According to many designers, the best square rug for living room décor is an elegant one, to match the energy of the shape. You might use modern or contemporary design with sweeping lines and artful splashes of color to capture this aesthetic.

A Closer Look At Square Living Room Rugs

Square is probably the least common shape for a living room rug, but it's also one of the most striking. Square rugs are difficult to use without other square elements in a room, and the majority of rooms are rectangular. You can use them with square tables and artwork if you want one in a rectangular room.

While they're typically used in dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms, a square rug can be placed anywhere in the home. From your entryway to your laundry room with everything in between, nothing is off-limits with enough creativity.

A square rug can make your room seem more:

• Spacious
• Sophisticated
• Inviting
• Exciting
• Impressive

• Color: What colors go with your existing palette?
• Size: How big of a rug do you need to create your desired effect?
