Round
The length and width are equal in a round rug, and they are the same as the
diameter of the rug, so when looking for a round rug, look for sizes such as 4x4,
8x8, etc. Round rugs are unique and rare.
Round rugs were also woven in French Aubusson and Savonnerie styles in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Round Chinese rugs were woven for the
first time in Tientsin and Beijing in the early nineteenth century. Both new and old
Chinese round rugs are still available in the market. In the past 40 years, round    
  rugs have become more popular in Iran, and are mainly woven in the cities of
Tabriz, Esfahan, and Nain. The layout of most round rugs tends to be medallion.
Square
Square rugs are very unique and rare. As their name implies, they have equal
width and length. Therefore, when looking for a square rug, look for sizes such
as 4x4, 8x8, etc. Square rugs are an ideal fit for square rooms.
  Oval
Oval rugs are unique and rare in shape. Therefore, no standard sizes have been
established for them. However, oval rugs are measured in the same fashion as
rectangular rugs. The larger diameter is considered the length, and the smaller
diameter is considered the width. Oval rugs are similar to round rugs in their
history and design. They have originated from Chinese and French Aubusson
and Savonnerie styles. In the last 40 years, they have become popular in Iran.
They are mainly woven in the cities of Tabriz, Esfahan, and Nain. Regardless of
their origin, their layout is usually medallion.
Runners
Runners are the second most common shape of rug.
Most runners in today's market are between 2.5 to 3 feet wide and 6 to 20 feet
long, and in some cases even longer. They are used as coverings for hallways,
stairways, and entrances.
The use of runners on stairs is a more common practice in the United States than
in Europe. Until about 60 years ago, runners were also used in traditional
Persian room arrangements. Many Persian living rooms were covered with a
traditional set of rugs including one main piece, Mianfarsh or middle carpet, of
approximately 6 to 8 feet wide by 16 to 20 feet long. At the head of the room, a
runner called Kellegi was placed. Kellegi measured between 4 to 6 feet wide
with a length of about two to three times its width. On each side of the middle
carpet, two very narrow and long runners called Kenareh were placed. Kenareh
measured between 2.5 to 5 feet wide and anywhere between 5 to 40 feet long.
