Round rugs are the best solution if you do not know what type of rug to go with. You want to avoid wasting money on rugs that are too big, too small, or if they are the wrong shape. It doesn't matter if you buy a Persian rug or a plain pastel rug, a round rug is the perfect instant addition to any room.
The two main materials used in making area rugs are natural fibers and synthetic. Both have their advantages. The natural fibers are more eco-friendly then the synthetic but the synthetic is stronger.
Acrylic area rugs come in a wide variety of colors and are fade and stain-resistant. They are good for kitchen areas as they are suited to hot and humid areas. Polypropylene area rugs are one of the most popular as they are very durable and stain-resistant. Consequently, they are used as an all-round rug. Nylon area rugs are not very comfortable but are durable and low-maintenance. They are best suited for kitchens and bathrooms. Wool area rugs are the gold standard. They possess natural air filtering properties and are very soft. Cotton area rugs are much softer than wool ones but do not last as long. They are ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. Jute area rugs are the most soft you can get but fade easily when exposed to sunlight and are sensitive to moisture. For excellent wear and tear and colorfast properties, choose sisal area rugs. Cheaper natural fibers such as jute, sea grass and bamboo are good materials to use in areas that do not have high-traffic.
Round rugs work well in any room but the overall design of the room will determine how well they fit in. a bathroom rug can double up as a drying mat as well as serving as the centerpiece of the room. A square or rectangular rug can fold or crease but this does not happen as easily with a round rug. Water damages natural fibers and wool so make sure you choose a synthetic rug.
People sometimes use an area rug for padding on their furniture. This is a waste of a good rug. Instead place the rug on the floor in the middle of the room and let the kids play with their toys.
Each design on a round area rug can compliment the design in your room. You want everything to blend together. Match your rug to the dominant colors in your room first. You may want to go with a natural color instead; black or beige. If you are not sure what color to go with choose a red rug and decorate around the rug.
