Traditional & Contemporary Round Rugs – Style in Every Curve

Whether you’re softening the angles of a room or creating a cozy focal point, round rugs offer a stylish and functional alternative to standard rectangular designs. Our curated collection of Traditional & Contemporary Round Rugs at Roys Rugs Philadelphia merges timeless artistry with modern design—available in a wide range of colors, textures, and sizes to suit every taste and space.

From intricately patterned Persian-style medallions to sleek, minimalist abstract designs, a round rug brings balance, elegance, and warmth to every room it touches.Why Choose a Round Rug?

Unlike rectangular rugs that follow the gridlines of a room, round rugs create a sense of intimacy and visual interest. They’re ideal for:

• Breaking up square or rectangular layouts

• Adding softness to hard lines or boxy furniture

• Highlighting architectural features, like circular tables, bay windows, or rotundas

• Creating cozy conversation nooks

Round rugs work in almost any setting—particularly in rooms that benefit from shape contrast or central anchoring.

• Under round coffee tables or between curved sofas

• Layer with square or rectangular rugs for texture contrast

 Dining Area

• Use a round rug that’s at least 2 feet wider than the table

Bedroom

• Place at the foot of the bed or under a vanity

• Use to accent a reading nook or lounge chair

Choosing the Right Size

Round rugs typically come in the following standard diameters:

• 7’ – 8’: Medium-size living rooms or large round dining tables

• 9’ – 10’+: Open spaces, great rooms, or oversized entryways

Quick Tip:

To make a dining area look cohesive, choose a round rug that extends at least 24–30 inches beyond the edge of your table to accommodate pulled-out chairs.

Materials & Durability

The function of the room should help guide your material choice:

 Wool

• Naturally stain-resistant and durable

• Best for living areas, dining rooms, and traditional spaces

Synthetic Fibers (Polypropylene, Polyester)

• Great for busy homes with pets or kids

• Fade-resistant, budget-friendly, and easy to clean

 Cotton

• Lightweight and washable

• Good for casual spaces or layering

 Viscose/Silk Blends

• Luxurious sheen, softer texture

• Ideal for low-traffic or formal settings

How to Style Round Rugs Like a Designer

To make the most of your round rug, keep these design tips in mind:

• Let it breathe: Avoid overcrowding your rug with too much furniture—allow space around the edges.

• Play with contrast: Use round rugs to break up square shapes—tables, beds, rooms.

• Use layering: Layer a round rug over a larger jute or flatweave rug for a designer-inspired look.

• Match patterns to scale: Bold, large-scale patterns work well in bigger round rugs; smaller motifs are better for compact spaces.

• Repeat the shape: Echo circular forms in pendant lights, mirrors, or tabletops for harmony.
