Roundabout
From Francesca:
When I was trying to figure out what to do with our gapingly empty upstairs playroom, I hit on the idea of a giant round rug to counteract the rectangularness of the room:
Quick room sources: Carpet from Saxony Carpet; they will cut rugs in any shape, round, oval, or even egg-shaped, if you give them a template. Approximately $2,500 for a 10-foot round carpet; go to saxcarpet.com. Tufty-time modular sofa from B&B Italia; go to bebitalia.it. Muji shelves, $29 and up; go to momastore.org. Canvas dot print toy bin; $275 from Hable Construction, go to hableconstruction.com. Lime-green Fatboy beanbag chair; $229 at moddecor.com
The spherical rug works just as well in an adult space. The stunningly chic Tribeca furniture company BDDW offers the Lawn rug, a hand-knotted Tibetan wool carpet with alternating wool lines. Go to bddw.com for information.
Or, for a (lucky) girl’s room, BDDW offers the Tablecloth rug:
Another option is the BBDW Wallpaper rug:
Here’s a round flokati rug from Sag Harbor, NY, store Ruby Beets; go to rubybeets.com:
The $34.99 100% wool Ikea Ringum rug is great for smaller spaces (it’s 4′3″ in diameter) and comes in white or light brown; go to ikea.com to view:
