Oval rugs are extremely versatile and can serve numerous purposes in your home. Whether you are decorating your living room, family room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway or patio, there’s an oval rug that is right for you. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, which is normally best kept rather neutral, oval rugs can bring colorful patterns and designs into your room without overwhelming it. Plus, unlike carpeting, oval rugs can be changed with the seasons – or your mood – and are yours to keep should you move.

If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors in your home, oval rugs are the perfect compliment. With a little care your wooden floors will last forever. They don’t collect allergens the way carpet does, are easy to clean and provide a perfect backgoval for a beautiful oval rug. But even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting you can still use oval rugs. Simply place them in high-traffic areas to protect the carpet or use oval rugs to tie a seating area together. You can even put oval rugs on the walls to create an interesting display!

The Importance of Using a Quality Rug Pad

Experts in the home décor industry all agree that every oval area rug requires a good-quality rug pad underneath it. Not only does this promote safety in your home by preventing the rug from slipping, it also increases the life of your oval rug and makes it much easier to regularly vacuum. Never use tape or adhesive to anchor a oval rug to your floor or carpeting. This can easily damage both the floor and rug. 

The Persian Dream rug pads we sell at Rugs Specials - Rugdepot come with a 10-year warranty. They are guaranteed not to mar, stain or discolor the floor and to hold your oval rug securely in place. They come in a variety of sizes and are reversible for use on either bare floors or carpeting. Also, most oval rugs manufacturers require that their product be placed on top of a quality rug pad in order to validate their warranty against defects in workmanship.

Oval rugs can be placed over wall-to-wall carpet to serve as a focal point, or under a dining-room table. They are an easy way to change the look of a room with hard wood floors. If your wall-to-wall carpet isn't in the best shape, an oval rug can be a quick fix to conceal the wear and tear from years of use, while at the same time giving the room a much-needed makeover.

Oval rugs have found favor among homeowners mainly because many newer houses feature floor surfaces such as tile and hardwood.
