Fireplace rugs add a coziness to your built in or freestanding fireplace, whether there is a fire burning or not! In addition to looking great, a hearth rug can protect the area around your fireplace from dirt, ash and even stray sparks and embers. It is a lot easier and less expensive to get a new throw rug if you get small burns from the fireplace!
Shopping for Fireplace Rugs
There are a wide variety of styles and materials too choose from when it comes to fireplace rugs for your home. You are sure to find one that fits you home decor and will help your fireplace be safer, cleaner, and more attractive.

While not the most attractive rugs you will find, these fireplace rugs are very protective. If you don't like the way they look, you could get an inexpensive rug to put over the protective rug. The Charcoal Half Round Hearth 100% Fiberglass Rug 27
The 100% fiberglass face on this 27" x 48" half round charcoal rug is simply not damaged by small embers or sparks. The back is heavy vinyl that lays flar and is non-staining and fire retardant. These half round rugs may be spot cleaned with a sponge and dish soap.
This rug, or one like it would be perfect if you have an older home that doesn't have a large brick or tile hearth or a fireplace screen to protect the carpet and flooring from sparks. These fireplace rugs are made for function, not so much for looks. But it still would be a valuable asset to your home because of the protection it gives to the area surrounding the fireplace.
Most fireplace rugs you will find will be in the shape of a half circle. This size fits nicely against the fireplace and the tapered circle looks attractive. However, rectangle or even square fireplace rugs look great as well. The most important thing is you have a rug that offers protection from stray embers and the dust and ash that is associated with a fireplace. Plus, you need to be happy with the design and how it looks in your room. You are the one who has to look at your fireplace rugs the most so shop for your tastes, not someone elses!
