Octagonal Area Rugs


Octagonal area rugs are for those people who have grown tired of the age-old, boring appearance of a rectangular rug in their living room or other room. By ditching the rectangle for the octagon they are loosening the restricting lines and letting their living room breathe!

We all love decorating, re-inventing and revamping our houses from time to time. And why not? After all, variety is the spice of life! Moreover, just think about it. If you feel bored wearing the same piece of clothing or outfit, doesn't your house get bored from the same decor?


Give your house or room a new lease on life

Your house or room doesn't say it out loud, but you can really feel its melancholy spirit, if the decor remains the same month after month, year after year. So, it's time to give your house a new lease on life. Start by replacing your one or two of rectangular or round rugs with octagonal rugs.

Octagonal area rugs will add a new zing to your living room. Since they have eight sides, they will make your floor look more lively and bigger. You may think that it might look a bit overdone, but just try testing it once. An octagon shaped area rug will blend beautifully with your room's decor.


Why an octagon?

Perhaps your next question will be “why an octagon?” After all, there are quite a few different shaped rugs on the market, including square, oval and round. Why an octagon? The answer is that an octagon looks and feels different. An octagon is both unique and stylish.

You may have seen circles, squares, and ovals as area rugs in many homes, but just try to remember if you have seen octagonal rugs. Perhaps you've seen one, or none at all.

Who likes living a completely mundane lifestyle? Who would prefer the day-to-day sight of boring and ordinary shapes everywhere they turn, rather than something different? Why not take a step to make things more stimulating and unique? Octagonal area rugs will truly be a refreshing tonic in your decor.

Most octagon rugs can be used in place of round or square rugs, and they cause an immediate change in both the look and feel of the room.


Other things to consider

When you have decided to use octagonal area rugs to enhance the beauty of your living room, the next step is deciding on the color and qualities that you want your rug to have. Here are a few things to consider:

  • Select colors which complement the decor: When you choose an octagonal rug, you need to take the color of your living room and the color of the decor into consideration.

  • You really don't want something that looks bad, or is in complete conflict with your general color scheme. If you are merely replacing the rug, then keep the general color scheme of the room in mind and choose colors which enhance it.

  • There are plenty of colors to choose from among octagonal area rugs. However, if you are going to completely revamp and re-style a room, then go for the color you like.

  • Buy something sturdy and stain-resistant: When you buy rugs, remember to choose the ones which are stain-resistant. Many people have children at home, and even those who do not have children can have accidents.

  • No matter how beautiful the rug may be, you really don't want something that needs to be replaced just because of a small stain. It really is not economical. Hence, choosing rugs that are stain-resistant is both a good and practical idea.
  • Keep these ideas in mind, when you choose great-looking octagonal area rugs. You'll see an immediate transformation as your room turns into one that is "a neighbor's envy and an owner's pride."

    If you want to leap right in and do some pre-shopping, I'm sure you'll find the rug that suits your choice in design, material, color, type of weave, and size at one of the recommended sources below.
