Design with Definition: Why Square Rugs Are In Right Now

As you revamp a room the form of your area rug may not be the first element you think of but it should be. Square rugs are at the top of the trend in interior design right now. Their sharp lines, balanced form and design flexibility makes them the ideal choice for contemporary homes. In you are working with a small room, a symmetric layout or an open concept space a square rug can add definition and depth in aspects that other rug styles can’t.

Why do Square Rugs work so well in Modern Interiors.

Square area rugs are on trend because of how they balance a room out. What we see is that square rugs do a great job at creating a balanced look which is calm and ordered. In square rooms or spaces that have symmetrical furniture like a four chair seating area or a square dining table the rug does that much needed job of enhancing the visual flow and bringing the space together.

In a no frills home setting square area rugs are used to define separate living spaces without overcrowding the room. Place one under the coffee table which in turn creates a different living space or in an office corner which is a very simple way to set apart work and play areas.

The Style Factor: Statement Rugs That Square Off.

Beyond functionality square rugs also bring a design statement. We have at our disposal a vast array of patterns, textures and colors which range from very minimalistic to very much abstract art. No matter if your space has a boho, modern, rustic or transitional feel we have a square area rug that will suit your decor.

In a very unassuming way square area rugs bring in a touch of sophistication. In bold colors or geometric designs they take center stage in the room. We love how they bring in that contrast and personality into a space without over doing it. From a wide array of choices it is easy to find one that will go with your home decor yet at the same time make a statement.

Perfect for Smaller Spaces

In small homes or apartments that may also have small rooms think about square area rugs. They have a proportionate size which makes them perfect for tight spaces like reading nooks, bedrooms, or studio apartments. Also a square rug may bring in elements of texture, warmth and a finished look without overfilling the room.

Also they have the element of play in placement. You may put a square rug under a furniture piece to great effect, try a diagonal which introduces a modern edge or layer it over a larger neutral rug for depth.

Practical and Stylish

Functionality is a big factor in the rise of square area rugs. We see many which are made from very durable materials like wool, jute, or synthetic blends -- which in turn makes them great for high traffic areas. Also they help to muffle sound, protect your floor surfaces, and add to the comfort of your feet.

Cleaning out square area rugs as a rule is also a simpler task as compared to larger more irregular shapes. Also with their uniform dimensions spot cleaning, vacuuming or rotating them out of the way is a stress free experience.

Final Thoughts

In present day design trends home owners want pieces which look great, function well, and which also truly are of a personal touch. Square rugs do that for you. They bring structure to the space, improve the flow of the room, and at the same time give you that wow factor without breaking the mood of the room.

In a small space or a large one which you are looking to balance out -- square rugs are more than just a trend they are a smart design choice which adds beauty, comfort and definition to your home.
