Round Oriental Rugs

There’s something unique about these beautiful round Oriental rugs that's not found in other designs. Use them to elevate your space and show off your sense of style.

Why Round Oriental Rugs?

We have thousands of round Oriental area rugs to choose from, and they’re versatile enough to fit in any home, with any color scheme.

The brilliant, flowing patterns and expert use of color characterize these rugs almost as much as their soft, plush texture. Available in any size, you can find round Oriental rugs for any occasion or mood. For example, you might:

• Layer a 5 ft round Oriental rug over an 8 ft round jute rug in a beachy aesthetic to mature the room’s décor.
• Use a round blue oriental rug in a shabby chic home to add color and a vintage appeal.
• Place a large round red oriental rug in your dining room, beneath a circular wooden dining table for a traditional design.

The possibilities alone make these rugs a perfect choice for almost anyone who would like to bring a classic rug into their home.

A Closer Look at Round Oriental Rugs

The round shape of these rugs is a non-traditional element that creates a playful, whimsical feel amid tradition and class. Round rugs are associated with feelings like:

• Coziness
• Whimsy
• Playfulness
• Softness
• Inviting
• Warmth
• Fun

The color you select might enhance or downplay these characteristics. For example, greys, reds, and browns are associated with bringing a cozy feel into a room. If you want to make your living room classically comfortable, a deep red round oriental rug might be the perfect solution.

Is a Round Oriental Rug Right for Me?

Round oriental rugs are perfect for almost any home. The one exception is if your rooms are huge—think 11x14 and above—a circular rug might not fit with the space. Circular rugs make small rooms feel bigger but can look awkward in places that are already sizable. 

The following tips will help you select the right oriental rug for your home:

• Color. Use a color picker tool to experiment with which colors can go with your existing décor. The color wheel is an interior decorating secret weapon, and the more often you use one, the better your home will look. 
• Size. Measure your room carefully, so you pick the right size. Picking the wrong size is the most common issue when purchasing rugs, so we've included the following guidelines to help:

o Room: 5’ x 7’ – Round Rug: 3’-4’

o Room: 7’ x 10’ – Round Rug: 5’-6’

o Room: 10’ x 12’ – Round Rug: 7’-8’

o Room: 11’ x 14’ – Round Rug: 9’-10’

o Room: 14’ x 17’ – Round Rug: 12’-13’

Choosing the Perfect Round Oriental Rug

Once you know what color and size you need for your room, you’re ready to start browsing! Look for a rug that stands out to you and envision it in your home. It can help to do a quick sketch of your favorites to see how they’d look in the room you’re buying for.

Don't forget to select a quality pad, so your rug doesn’t slide around the floor. A pad also makes the rug more comfortable to walk on.
