Large Oval Rugs

Why A Large Oval Rug?

These large oval rugs are so beautiful and versatile that there's something for every home. Take a look!

When interior designers use large oval rugs, they're opting for something softer and more playful than the traditional rectangular shape. Using the large oval shape will make a room look larger thanks to the rounded corners.

Large oval rugs can be found in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, entryways, and event kitchens, and they come in any style or color you could imagine. The ideas below represent just some of many ways a professional decorator might use these large oval area rugs in a home:

• You can place extra large oval area rugs in living rooms with a lot of floor space to cover. This is perfect for bigger rooms and, ideally, all of the area's furniture would sit on the rug with four legs.
• You can use large oval kitchen rugs in spacious homes with almost any decor style, and they'll make the room seem more inviting. The oval shape helps keep the room lighthearted, and the size gives you design potential.
• You might use large oval braided rugs in each of a home's bedrooms, creating design continuity. The rugs don't need to match each other or be positioned identically, but they should be a similar style.

A Closer Look At Large Oval Rugs

Because large oval area rugs are available in such a diverse selection, and they can make a space seem bigger, they're popular in homes around the world. The rounded edges work particularly well in places that encourage playfulness, whimsy, and fun, but they also soften minimalist designs.

Oval rugs are commonly layered, one smaller one on top of a larger piece, to create more interesting texture and design in a room.

Is A Large Oval Rug Right For Me?

If you love the oval rug look, there's no reason not to buy one or two large oval rugs for your home. These beauties come in designs ranging from Oriental to contemporary, so you'll have no problem finding one to match your home. The following tips will help:

• Color: Use a color selector to pick something that will work with your existing decor. The color wheel is a straightforward way to get a big-picture look at your home's use of tones, shades, and tints, too.
• Material: Pick a material that you can keep clean with your lifestyle. Homes that see a lot of traffic and soil are better off with durable rugs that can take a cleaning, but those with lower soil and foot traffic levels are great fits for more delicate materials.
• Size: Measure your room and subtract two feet from the width and the length to find the maximum size for your large rug. This will maintain 12 inches between the edges of your rug and the walls.
