Round Rugs

Our round rugs combine artisan craftsmanship with everyday practicality. Whether you're looking for a soft circle rug for a nursery, a statement circular rug for the living room, or a washable round rug that survives spills, pets, and real family life — you'll find it here. Handcrafted in India with natural cotton or wool, every piece is machine washable at home. Designed in Barcelona. Shipped from the U.S.

Why Choose a Round Rug for Your Home?

A round rug does something rectangular rugs simply can't: it softens a room. The circular shape creates a natural focal point under a dining table, beside a bed, or in the center of a living area — breaking up hard edges and adding visual flow. Circle rugs and circular rugs also work particularly well in smaller rooms and entryways, where their lack of sharp corners makes the space feel less cramped and more intentional.

Interior designers frequently recommend round area rugs for dining rooms (centered under a round table), kids' bedrooms (creating a defined play zone), and reading nooks. The shape naturally invites you to gather around it.

Washable Round Rugs — The Lorena Canals Difference

Lorena Canals invented the washable rug concept over 20 years ago, and our round washable rugs carry that same promise: beautiful, artisanal design that you can actually throw in the washing machine when life happens.

Cotton circle rugs: Our cotton rounds — like the Honeycomb series (available in Rose, Golden, and Blue Sage), the Bamboo Sensorial Leaf, and playful kids' designs like Wheels and Big Big World — are lightweight, hypoallergenic, and made with non-toxic dyes. The base is crafted from RugCycled™ fibers, upcycled from our own production waste.

Wool circular rugs: For a richer, more textured look, our WOOLABLE® washable round rugs — including the Round Natural, Arctic Circle White, Arona Round, and Forever Always — bring the softness and thermal properties of natural wool without sacrificing washability. Our patented WOOLABLE® technology makes these the world's first machine-washable wool rugs.

All round washable area rugs come in multiple sizes, include an anti-slip underlay, and ship from within the U.S. with free delivery on orders over $249.

How to Choose the Right Size Round Rug

Getting the size right is the most common question when shopping for a circle rug. Here's a quick guide:

Under a round dining table: Choose a circular rug that extends at least 24 inches beyond the table's edge — this keeps chairs on the rug when pulled out.

In a kids' room: A 4-foot (≈120 cm) round rug creates a defined play space. A 5-foot (≈150 cm) option works for older children and teen rooms.

As a living room accent: A 6–8 foot round area rug anchors a seating arrangement or defines a lounge zone within an open-plan space.

In an entryway or hallway: Smaller circle rugs (3–4 ft) make striking, practical door mats that are easy to wash after muddy days.

All Lorena Canals round rugs are available in at least three sizes, and our custom-made option lets you specify the exact diameter in inches — in cotton, wool, or premium wool.

How to Wash a Round Rug at Home

Every round washable rug in our collection can be cleaned in a standard home washing machine. Here's how:

1. Check your washer's drum capacity — most of our circular rugs require at least a 4.5 cu. ft. front-load washer.
2. Wash on a gentle or delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
3. Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid bleach.
4. Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to air dry. Do not leave in the washer.
5. Do not use machines with a center agitator — front-load or top-load agitator-free models only.

For oversized round area rugs, professional cleaning is recommended. Vacuum regularly with a low-suction setting between washes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Round Rugs

Are Lorena Canals round rugs machine washable? Yes. All Lorena Canals round rugs — both cotton and wool — are designed to be machine washed at home. Cotton rounds wash on a gentle cycle; wool rounds use the patented WOOLABLE® process that makes them the world's first washable wool rugs.

What is the difference between a round rug, a circle rug, and a circular rug? These terms are used interchangeably. "Round rug," "circle rug," and "circular rug" all refer to the same product: a floor covering with a circular shape. Some retailers use "circular area rug" to indicate larger floor pieces, but there is no structural difference.

What rooms are round rugs best for? Round rugs work best under round dining tables, in kids' bedrooms, in entryways, beside beds, and in reading corners. The circular shape adds visual softness and works well in both large open-plan spaces and smaller rooms.

How do I know what size round rug to buy? For a dining table, extend at least 24" past the table edge. For a kids' room, 4–5 ft is ideal. For a living room accent, 6–8 ft creates a defined seating zone. Lorena Canals also offers a custom-size option for exact measurements.

Are round washable rugs safe for babies and pets? Our cotton round rugs are hypoallergenic, made with non-toxic dyes, and comply with all safety regulations for children. Wool rugs (WOOLABLE®) are recommended for children over 3 years due to natural fiber shedding.
