Choosing the Right Size Rug

Choosing the right rug can be challenging. Factors like style, patterns, and colors are important, but size is often overlooked. The rug is a key element of decor—the heart of any room. Selecting the proper size ensures a harmonious look and functionality.

With a wide array of options available, it can be overwhelming to navigate through the choices. Many rugs come in multiple sizes and shapes. So, how do you choose the one that will fit your space?

All too often, we find ourselves captivated by a rug's design or colors, leading to impulsive purchases. If a rug is too large, it can dominate the space. Conversely, if it’s too small, it may get lost amidst the decor, failing to fulfill its role as an "anchor" that visually ties the room together. The result? A lack of balance that makes you wonder, “Why doesn’t it look the same in my house?”

Measure Your Space

The first and most important step is to grab a measuring tape and determine the size you need. If your furniture is already in place, that's perfect! You can even use painter's tape to simulate the rug's dimensions on the floor for a clear visual representation.

Living Room

Size: The rug in your living room should be at least the size of your sofa or slightly larger. Ideally, it should extend about 20 cm beyond the edges of the sofa for maximum comfort underfoot.

A spacious living room pairs beautifully with a shaggy rug, adding comfort and warmth.

In smaller living rooms, opt for a smaller rug and place the front legs of your sofa on it to create a cohesive relaxation area.

Bedroom

Size: For bedrooms, choose a rug size based on the width of your bed. A generously sized rug around a king-size bed creates a balanced look with a uniform border on all sides.

Dining Room

For the dining room, the size of the rug depends on the table. A traditional rectangular dining table for six guests typically requires a rug size of 200x275 cm to frame the entire dining area.

Tip: Consider machine-washable rugs for easy cleaning.

Runners

As the first thing your guests see when entering, a runner rug should set the tone for your home. Here are some sizes to consider:

• 80x150 cm: Ideal for a studio or small flat.
• 80x220 cm: Suitable for a home without furniture on the rug.
• 80x365 cm: Great for long corridors to reduce visual impact.
