The right size makes all the difference. Use these room-by-room guides to find a rug that grounds your space rather than floating in it.
Room-by-room guide
| Room | Popular sizes (cm) | Placement tip |
|---|---|---|
| Living room (compact) | 160 × 230, 200 × 290 | Front legs of the sofa sit on the rug. |
| Living room (spacious) | 240 × 330, 300 × 400 | All furniture legs sit on the rug for a cohesive zone. |
| Bedroom (queen) | 200 × 300 | Extend 40–60 cm beyond each side of the bed. |
| Bedroom (king) | 240 × 330 | Anchor the bed with even margins on three sides. |
| Dining (4–6 seats) | 200 × 300 | Allow ~60 cm past the table so chairs stay on when pulled out. |
| Hallway | 80 × 300 (runner) | Leave a 10–15 cm border of floor on each side. |
| Entry / round room | 200 round | Lovely under round tables or in cosy nooks. |
Quick tips
- When in doubt, size up — a rug that's too small makes a room feel smaller.
- Measure your space and mark the rug's outline with tape before you buy.
- Leave a consistent border of floor (about 20–40 cm) between the rug edge and the walls.
Most designs are available in runners, rounds and several sizes — check the size options on each product page.
