The idea usually seems simple right up until the time you start looking at all the different area rugs that are on the market. There are Persian rugs, Indian rugs, modern area rugs, square rugs, round rugs, oval rugs and even flower shaped area rugs. To further compound the problem, there are myriad different colors of rugs to choose from in every style. After a few days looking at area rugs, you’ve decided that your heart’s set on getting an oval rug but you still find yourself wondering how on earth you are going to choose one or two from amongst so many options. Buying an oval rug for your home without having done your homework can be overwhelming.
Where to Put Your Oval Rug
The good news is there isn't some secret interior designer code about where you are supposed to use an oval area rug. An oval shaped rug can be used in any room of the house and if you want to carry your oval them outdoors, you can even find oval shaped outdoor rugs.
Get the Right Size
One of the trickiest things about getting an oval rug, is knowing what size to get. The best way to make sure the rug is going to be large enough for your intended use is to measure the area that the rug will be covering. Make sure the rug you ultimately purchase is exactly that size. You need to remember what the rug will look like once it has been laid on the wood floors, or floor tile. For example if you are purchasing an oval area rug with the idea you are going to place your kitchen table on it, you want to make sure that not only will all four of the table legs be sitting on the rug but also that a little bit of the rug shows out from under the table from all sides. If you are unsure of exactly how big an area rug you are going to need, you should take your measurements with you and seek the assistance of whoever is selling you the rug.
The Material of the Rug
All rugs are not created equal and all rugs cannot withstand the same amount of wear and tear. You should know how much abuse your new area rug is going to get on a daily basis. Go online and find out what types of rug materials will endure the abuse. For example, if your rug is going to be getting a lot of foot traffic, you want one that will hold up. If it is under a table, you want one that's easy to clean; if you are using the oval area rug outside, you want to make sure it has been designed for such use.
It might take a little time to find it but the perfect oval area rug is out there somewhere, just waiting to make your home more comfortable.
