Flooring, Carpets and Rugs

Rugs come in all shapes and sizes but are most commonly found in round and rectangular shapes. If you want something a little different look for oval rugs which soften the overall look of a room. Although round rugs work well for this purpose in square rooms or at the center of an angular seating area, oval area rugs are ideal for giving a more relaxed feel to a rectangular shaped room. There are also a few other places an oval rug works well:-

1. In front of the fire

A small oval area rug works well as a fireside rug as it sets off your hearth a treat. You can just imagine a cat curled up cosily in front of the fire on your rug (if the cat is allowed to go anywhere near it!)

2. In the Bathroom

Oval bathroom rugs are just the right shape to fit alongside the bath tub and the curved lines soften the sometimes hard look of the bathroom fittings. You can get washable rugs for use in the bathroom in all kinds of colors and they are often made to coordinate with towel sets making them ideal to go with a classic white bathroom.

Oval braided rugs look especially good in a country kitchen setting with their handmade look which seems “one of a kind” even if these days braided oval rugs are made by machine in the Far East as often as not. In fact, it is a good idea not to spend too much on your rug in any case if using it in the kitchen and also to make sure you choose a washable rug as it is likely to get very dirty there. The best place to put your oval braided rug is a place where you spend a lot of time standing especially if you have hard natural stone flooring. It helps make standing less tiring on your legs. This might be in front of the kitchen sink or beside a food preparation area.

4. In the Dining Room

An oval rug looks good under your dining table especially if you have an oval or rectangular table. Do make sure that all (or none) of the legs of the table fit onto the rug so that it does not make the table uneven and wobbly.

Where to Find the Best Oval Rugs

When looking for oval rugs you are unlikely to find many to choose from in local stores. For these kinds of items, where you need to get the right color, size, shape, design and materials, local stores find it difficult to stock enough variety to offer the choice that customers need.
