How to Choose the Right Rug Size

A rug anchors a room. Get the size right and the whole space feels intentional; get it wrong and even a beautiful rug looks like an afterthought.

Living room

Ideally, the front legs of your sofa and chairs should rest on the rug. Leave a 30–45 cm border of floor between the rug and the walls to frame the space.

Dining room

Choose a rug large enough that the chairs stay on it even when pulled out — add at least 60 cm beyond the table edge on every side.

Bedroom

A rug should extend 45–60 cm beyond the sides and foot of the bed, so you step onto softness when you wake.

When in doubt, size up. Our Size Advisor can calculate the ideal dimensions for your exact room.
