Square Rugs — Handmade Oriental Square Area Rugs
Square rugs solve layout problems that rectangles can't. In a square room, under a square dining table, or beneath a sectional, a square rug gives balanced coverage on every side. Our square rug collection includes hand-knotted and handmade Oriental rugs in wool, silk, and wool-and-silk blends — from small square accent pieces to oversized rugs 12 feet and larger.
Shop Square Rugs by Size
- 4 ft & under — entryways, small nooks, tabletops, and wall display
- 5 ft and 6 ft — breakfast nooks, reading corners, and small square rooms
- 7 ft and 9 ft — square dining tables and compact living rooms
- 10 ft and 12 ft & larger — large square rooms, sectionals, and open-plan spaces
Where Square Rugs Work Best
- Square rooms — leave an even border of 12 to 18 inches of floor on all sides
- Square dining tables — allow at least 24 inches beyond the table edge so chairs stay on the rug
- Under sectionals — an L-shaped sofa often sits more naturally on a square than a rectangle
- Entryways and small spaces — a small square defines the space without overwhelming it
Handmade Quality
Every rug here is handmade by skilled artisans using natural fibers. Hand-knotted pieces offer the greatest durability and design detail, and no two are exactly alike. Merchants Of Asia has been sourcing and inspecting handmade rugs as a family business since 1976.
Care
Vacuum with suction only, rotate every 6 to 12 months, use a rug pad, and have hand-knotted rugs professionally cleaned every few years.
