The 20 Best Oval Rugs

Oval rugs may not be as common as rectangular and round rugs, but they are still quite popular in all rooms of the home. Entryways, kitchens, nurseries, living rooms, and laundry rooms typically benefit from oval rugs as they can fit into smaller nooks and make the most of rooms with unique footprints. However, oval rugs can also work well in rooms where you have plenty of space to work with and you want a rug to make a statement. Just like any other rug, appearance isn’t the only factor that defines what makes a rug the best. The texture of the rug, the materials used, the weave, and overall durability make the rug both beautiful and practical. Since there are so many oval rugs out there to choose from, we’ve selected twenty of our top oval rugs to help guide your search for your best oval rug.

We have dogs, toddlers and teens, wear shoes in the house even even though it’s against the “rules” and it had held up so well. It is really well made. Gorgeous pattern and colors are very easy to match decor with. Highly recommend this rug! Also should add that it’s easy to spot clean and hides spills and spots easily. We clean it annually with a rug doctor rental. It’s been a great rug, well worth the money.” -Booth
