Round Rug Style FAQS - 3 Questions You'll Want To Ask
Does a round rug look good in a living room?
Round rugs look fantastic in a living room. They draw the eye around a room in a flowing motion and help create a cosy, inviting atmosphere that encourages conversation and relaxation. They work especially well in small living rooms as they create an illusion of more space.

How do I choose a round rug for my living room?
Measuring is the key to choosing the right round rug. If you want all the furniture legs to sit on top of the round rug, measure the seating area of your living rooms instead of measuring from wall to wall.
But, if you want the round rug to fill an entire room, measure the space so that the rug sits at least two feet from the walls.

Should the living room rug be bigger than the couch?
For the perfect look and feel, make sure your round rug is 20cm wider than each side of your sofa. If you have space in between furniture pieces, then allow up to 90cm of walking area (at least 45-60cm) and that should give you an idea how large a round rug you need!
Now that we have covered round rug placement, let's move on to the fun part! Exploring the different designs and colours for your round rug.
5 Gorgeous Round Rug Ideas For The Living Room
1. Minimalist Scandinavian-Style Round Rug
Refresh your living space with a timeless, bright and airy style! A small round rug in front of the sofa increases light reflection for an open, spacious area.
Keep it simple by highlighting only one or two colours on neutral wall tones such as white, grey, beige and wood - creating a minimalist Scandinavian look to elevate the beauty of any room.
2. Add A Pop Of Colour To Your Living Room
Bold, bright-coloured round rugs are the way to go. Choose a vibrant shade that will contrast with your living room furniture, such as orange, yellow or red. This will instantly give any space some life and character!
