FAQ
Are oval rugs old-fashioned?
Traditional braided ovals have a historic association. But oval rugs in contemporary designs and current colorways work perfectly in today’s interiors. The shape isn’t dated; pattern and construction determine the register.
Where do oval rugs work best?
Dining rooms under oval/round tables, Victorian and cottage-style bedrooms, rooms with romantic character, and any space where a rectangle would feel too formal or directional.
