The Essential Size Guide
A well-proportioned rug is the secret to a successful interior. It unifies your furniture and creates a warm, balanced atmosphere. Follow our expert advice to find the ideal dimensions.
The Show
Anchor the conversation space.
The rug should be large enough for the front feet (at a minimum) of your sofa and armchairs to rest on it. This creates a unified visual "island" that makes the space feel larger and more inviting.
The House
Create a cozy bedside rug.
Position the rug perpendicularly under the bottom two-thirds of your bed. Make sure it extends at least 50 cm beyond each side and the foot of the bed, so that your first steps in the morning are onto a cloud of wool.
The Dining Room
Ensure the chairs are stable.
The rug should be large enough for all four chair legs to remain on it, even when you push them back to stand up. The simple rule: measure your table and add about 60 cm to each side.
Visualize the Proportions
Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Here's an overview of our standard sizes to help you better visualize the dimensions.
The 3 Key Principles
Bigger is better
If in doubt between two sizes, always choose the larger one. A generous rug unifies the space, whereas a rug that is too small can make it appear fragmented.
Space is a luxury
Leave approximately 45 cm of clear space between the edges of the rug and the walls. This allows the room to "breathe" and highlights both your flooring and your rug.
The foolproof test
Use masking tape to outline the rug’s size on your floor. This is the best way to visualize its actual impact before ordering.
