When people think of area rugs, the first thought that usually comes to mind is that of a rectangular shaped carpet covering that sits upon the middle of your floor. But who says you should only be limited to such a square piece of covering when many area rugs now come in a variety of shapes and sizes? As fun alternatives to the usual rectangular or square shaped rug, round rugs with detailed edging and half-moon or crescent shaped rugs can easily dress up your home.
For those of you who are looking to venture out from boring square shaped rugs, I suggest looking into medallion rugs. Medallion rugs are unique round shaped rugs that generally act as entrance way rugs from the front door to your foyer. Hotels even use these artistically styled rugs in larger sizes for their lobbies, pairing them with round decorative tables and floral arrangements. Since medallion rugs are round in shape, many features a decorative scalloped edging, making them ideal for placing them in the middle of your living room or at an entrance to a ballroom.
Half-moon rugs as I like to call them are rugs that I feel are ideal for those who don’t have a lot of space to spare. A great example of a half-moon shaped rug is the Kyrone Rug, which can be found on GCRugs.com. Since they’re really just half of a round rug, they don’t take up much space at all, and are designed to be pushed up against a wall. Perfect places to keep your half-moon rug include the kitchen underneath your sink, underneath your study or telephone table, and even your bathroom. You can even get a little creative with these rugs and use them as the ends of your couch and place end tables on top of them.
Rugs in other unusual shapes and designs such as flower die cut styles and fish shaped rugs are perfect for those who have a particular theme going on in their home. But whether you’re following a certain motif for your home, or are just looking for a completely differently looking rug, remember that it’s perfectly okay to think outside of the rectangular box!
