Why Are Square Rugs So Unique?

The geometric square shape emphasizes symmetry, encourages order, and creates striking sightlines in a room.
Especially well-suited to square or nearly square rooms, open-plan concepts, spacious entryways, or as a match for circular tables and sofa groupings.
Classic Persian and Oriental rugs become true collector’s items in square form, as these are rarer and more sought-after than rectangular or runner formats.
As wall art or tapestry, the square shape delivers particular artistic presence—be it in traditional or modern designs.

What Size Is Ideal?

60×60 cm – 120×120 cm: Accent piece, wall hanging, for small spaces, in front of chests, or children's rooms
150×150 cm – 200×200 cm: Medium size, ideal for seating areas with a coffee table or under a desk in the office.
250×250 cm – 300×300 cm: Living/dining areas, large entrance halls, luxurious room islands
XXL sizes: For open lofts, studios, or impressive, expansive spaces

How to Showcase Square Rugs to Their Best Effect

Dining room: Beneath a square or round table, a square rug maximises visual symmetry and serenity—the area should comfortably frame table and chairs.
Living room: Perfect wherever sofas are arranged in a square or where a central highlight is needed around a coffee table.
Office & home office: Square rugs add structure and contour to a workspace—ideal beneath a desk or reading chair.
Entryway, gallery, foyer, hallway: A large square rug creates an impressive, welcoming statement—ideal for prestigious or open spaces.
Wall decor: Smaller square rugs also work beautifully as artistic wall hangings.

Colours, Patterns & Style – Inspiration for Every Room

Bold colours & geometric patterns make square rugs true eye-catchers, bringing fresh, modern energy to a space.
Soft, pale tones and fine silk rugs preserve spaciousness and elegance in airy, sophisticated interiors.
Oriental classics with medallion or field motifs have special presence in a square format.
Modern designer rugs reinterpret floral, abstract or solid-colour concepts in a new way within a square shape.

Combination tip: Square rugs pair beautifully with modular sofas, round coffee tables and armchairs. Use them as a ‘rug island’ or as a format contrast alongside long rectangular pieces to create a subtle yet striking design statement.

Materials, Knotting Technique & Quality

High-quality sheep’s wool: Offers luxurious feel, long life and easy care—ideal for families, kitchens and larger rooms.
Silk & wool-silk blends: Brings luscious sheen, dazzling colour brilliance and shifting effects—perfect for formal spaces, bedrooms or as a decorative luxury accent piece.
Viscose/art silk/blends: Blend easy care, everyday functionality, and modern colours with a silky touch and stylish sheen.

Expert tip: Traditionally hand-knotted square rugs are not only highly sought-after but also true rarities. The finest, most luxurious and/or antique one-of-a-kind pieces make for lasting investments.
