Frightened Ghosts Round Rug - Pacman Chair Mat

Four frightened blue ghosts circle a glowing cream power pellet at the heart of this Pacman round rug, and the whole arcade scene sits inside a black quatrefoil framed in gold filigree. Red, pink, cyan and orange ghosts hold the diagonal corners, while the yellow chomper, a pair of cherries, a pellet trail and a blue maze wall mark the four compass points. Everything is laid out for the circle, so nothing gets clipped at the edge.

A round shape changes how a room feels. It softens the hard corners of a square space, tucks neatly under a desk chair and gives a gaming corner a clear center. Pixel art is built from tiny squares, so seeing it wrapped in a full circle feels like a joke the design is happy to tell.

The Design: Arcade Meets Cathedral

Most arcade art leans on neon against a black screen. This piece borrows from cathedral rose windows instead. The black ground stays, but it is cut into scalloped panels edged in gold leaf-work, and a deep navy border of damask leaves and small cream blossoms runs around the rim, studded with gold beads and white pearls. Pixel-sharp ghosts against that ornate detail is the whole charm. Gold, navy, black and cream carry the mood, with bright hits of red, pink, cyan, orange and yellow keeping each character in its own pocket.

Frightened Ghosts on the Floor

The surface is a soft plush low-pile that feels good under bare feet and stays flat on the floor. A non-slip rubber backing grips hardwood, laminate and tile, so the circle stays put when a chair slides across it. The rug is machine washable on a gentle cold cycle, then left to air-dry. Colors are applied by dye-sublimation, which sets the ink into the fibers instead of sitting on top, so the gold and navy stay rich. It suits a gaming room rug setup best, though the dark border also looks right in a den or a teenager's bedroom.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters run from 80 cm (31.5″) to 180 cm (70.9″). The 80 cm size makes a small accent rug beside a bed, and 100 cm tucks under a desk chair where the center pellet and its four blue ghosts stay in view. Under a gaming chair, that same size works as a chair mat that keeps the pattern visible. Step up to 120 or 140 cm for a reading nook or a kids' corner. At 160 and 180 cm it becomes a round area rug that anchors a seating area, with the border room to breathe. Two levels are offered: Standart Level is solid everyday quality, while Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and air-dry it; the print is set into the fibers, so the gold border and blue ghosts hold their color.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate, which matters when a chair glides over the ghosts all evening.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, it lies flat over low-pile carpet. The black panels keep the pattern easy to read even against a textured floor.

Which size should I choose?

Pick 100 cm for a desk chair and 140 cm for a nook where the ghosts should be seen from across the room. Go to 160 or 180 cm when the circle is the center of the space.
