Ron Chess Round Rug - Harry Potter Chair Mat

Ron grins out of a crimson medallion with his wand raised in one hand and a Chocolate Frog card in the other, a striped Gryffindor scarf draped over his knit jumper. This Harry Potter round rug lays the artwork out for the circle: a black-and-white chessboard ring around the portrait, then rings of wizard chess pieces, sky-blue flying cars, lopsided houses and a silver terrier, all in burgundy, gold and cream.

A circle softens a square room in a way a rectangle never does. Tuck this one under a desk chair, drop it in a reading nook or lay it beside the bed, and the concentric rings read the same from every angle, so nobody has to worry which way is up.

The Design: A Wizard Chess Medallion

Think of an illuminated manuscript page that happens to be about a school friendship. Gold scrollwork curls across a warm cream field, and the layout repeats in mirrored pairs: black knights and rooks flank the portrait, each with a twin on the opposite side. Four small plum panels hold squat chocolate frogs, while two more at the top and bottom frame the silver terrier among gold stars.

Peppermint swirls, wrapped sweets and chocolates scatter between the pieces, and the outer border turns deep plum with small white and gold chess pieces marching around the rim. It is a busier, more storybook piece than a plain crest rug, and every ring rewards a closer look. If you collect the series, more Harry Potter rug designs sit in the same collection, each with its own center character and palette.

Ron on the Floor

The surface is a soft plush low-pile that feels good underfoot and lies flat instead of bunching. A non-slip rubber backing grips hardwood, tile and laminate, so a rolling chair or a running kid does not send the rug sliding. When it gets scuffed, it is machine washable: gentle cold cycle, then air-dry. The print is dye-sublimation, so the burgundy and gold are set into the fibers rather than sitting on top as a coating. Slide it beneath a desk and it becomes a chair mat with plenty of personality. In a fan's room it works as a bedroom rug with a story on every ring.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available, from 80 cm (31.5″) to 180 cm (70.9″): 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 and 180 cm. The 80 and 100 cm sizes fit under a desk chair or beside a bed, where the portrait and chessboard ring take center stage, and the smallest also makes a neat accent rug. Sizes 120 and 140 cm suit a reading nook or a kids' corner. From 140 cm up it begins to read as a round area rug, and the 160 and 180 cm sizes can anchor a seating area with the sweets border showing around the furniture legs.

Two levels are offered. Standart Level is solid everyday quality for bedrooms and desks. Premium Level has a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing, a good pick for busy spots or a chair that rolls all day.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and let it air-dry; the print is set into the fibers, so the gold scrollwork stays crisp instead of peeling off.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate, which keeps the chessboard ring from creeping when someone steps on the edge.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, it lies flat over low-pile carpet. The round cut means the medallion stays centered whichever way the room is arranged.

Which size should I choose?

Match it to the room: 80 to 100 cm for a desk or bedside, 120 to 140 cm for a nook, 160 to 180 cm for the middle of a seating area. Go larger if you want the full ring of chess pieces visible around the furniture.
