Large round rugs are a fabulous way to pull a room together. Placing furniture completely or partially on top of your rug will define an ambiguous space.  With the rise in popularity of ‘great rooms’ over the last decade or so, ambiguous, undefined spaces have become both popular as well as more problematic for decorating and space definition.  Open kitchen, dining, and living or family areas are wonderful in terms of traffic flow and staying connected to your guests when you are entertaining, but it is difficult at times to define the spaces encompassed within the broad living area.

Large round area rugs help to visually separate those spaces. Round large rugs placed beneath the dining room table helps to signify your dining room.  The rug provides definition and boundaries, but the round shape continues the inclusive welcoming feel of the great room.

By the same token large round rugs help define living space as well, a larger but identical, coordinating, or if you really want to differentiate the space, completely different rug placed in the living area can not only bring color to a room, but delineate that space as the living area. Even with lack of wall boundaries and open concept space, a great rug can give your home that feeling of special order.

If a room is drab or lackluster and needs a pick-me-up, try a rug.  Large round area rugs can be found in many colors and in a multitude of different materials.  Bold colors can draw the eye and perk up a tired room.  Earth toned colors can be soothing and understated while still giving your room an added oomph.  Muted or pastel colors can soften the feel of a room.

Placing your rug in the center of a room will draw the focus to it. Sharp corners and flat walls will become visually understated.  When a room is narrow or needs to appear wider than it is, place the rug closer, or abutting, one of the walls.  This will shift the visual focus and feel like there is extra space.

For a house that does not have an entry way a large round rug can be placed in the living room with the couches around it, so that a walkway is left behind the seating area, giving a ‘visual’ entry way.  Large round area rugs can define, enhance, and even visually create rooms or spaces when they don’t actually exist.

Few things finish and polish a space like large round rugs can.  It can be an accent piece, but is so much more substantial and room changing than adding a few throw pillows.  A good, well-placed rug can finish a room, change the flow of a space, and even visually create areas in your home that haven’t existed before.
