The most common rug shapes have been around for centuries. Whilst most of us are familiar with traditional rug shapes such as rectangular and round, these days some more abstract shapes are available to create an exciting fresh look in today's modern homes.
Rectangular
Rectangular rugs are a time-honoured shape that adds symmetry to any space. They are especially great in living spaces for bringing together groups of furniture, as a cushioned and decorative base to cover the length of a dining table, or framing the bed in a bedroom. There are so many different styles to choose from, from modern to traditional to abstract designs, the list is endless. There will always be a design available to match the style of your home, office or studio in rectangular rugs. Even for narrower spaces such as kitchens, entrances and hallways, rectangular runner rugs add a stunning visual allure and are a great choice to define these spaces.

Round
Round shaped rugs are ideal to use underneath round table settings, both indoor or outdoor, as an ideal match for the same shaped setting. They can also be used as a different shape compared with the most common rectangular shape, to add a unique focal point for a room, and to add smooth curved lines to add a unique dimension to any space, breaking the pattern of straight lines in a room. For this reason, other shapes can also be considered. We have added some exciting new shapes to our range recently that can be used to add a unique feel to any space in your home or office: round rugs.

Similar to the rounded rectangle above but with no straight lines, the oval shape creates an alluring visual appeal. They can soften living spaces with their elliptical form. Their elongated shape can be aligned with doorways and hallways or positioned under dining sets and seating groups.
