Rug Size Guide
Find the size that makes the room
The right rug pulls a room together. Too small and furniture floats; well sized, the space feels calm, finished and generous. Every piece we sell is one of a kind, so sizes vary. Use this guide to find your range, then browse pieces that fit.

Living room
Anchor the seating
The rug should connect the sofa, chairs and coffee table into one group. When it's too small, the furniture looks like it's floating.
The rule: at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs sit on the rug, with 30–60 cm of floor showing around the room.
Compact lounge
Under the coffee table, in front of a two- or three-seater sofa.
Leave 10–20 cm of rug in front of the sofa legs.
Shop mediumStandard lounge
The most versatile size. The front legs of every seat rest on the rug.
Measure from the sofa's front legs, not the wall.
Shop largeOpen plan
Defines the seating zone in an open-plan room. All furniture can sit fully on the rug.
Measure the seating zone, not the whole room.

Dining room
Room for the chairs
Chairs should stay on the rug even when they're pulled out, so nobody catches a leg on the edge.
The rule: add 60–75 cm to every side of the table.
| Seats | Table | Rug |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | approx. 90 × 120 cm | 200 × 250 – 200 × 300 cm |
| 6 | approx. 90 × 180 cm | 250 × 300 – 250 × 350 cm |
| 8 | approx. 100 × 240 cm | 250 × 350 – 300 × 400 cm |
Four seats
Square or round tables for four.
Flatweave kilims are ideal: chairs slide easily.
Shop largeSix seats

Crumbs come straight out of a low pile or kilim.

Bedroom
Soft underfoot on both sides
Run the rug across the bed so you step onto it on either side when you get up.
The rule: start the rug just in front of the bedside tables, with 45–60 cm showing either side of the bed.
| Bed (Australian) | Rug |
|---|---|
| Single / King single | 120 × 180 – 160 × 230 cm |
| Double | 160 × 230 – 200 × 300 cm |
| Queen | 200 × 300 cm |
| King | 200 × 300 – 250 × 350 cm |
Bedside
One side of the bed, or the end of a single bed.
A pair of small rugs works beautifully too.
Shop smallDouble
Across the lower two thirds of a double bed.
Leave the bedside tables off the rug.
Shop mediumQueen & King
Turned sideways under a queen or king bed.
For a king, go 250 cm wide if the room allows.

Hallway & kitchen
Choosing a runner
A runner should frame the hallway, not fill it. One long runner looks calmer than two short ones.
The rule: 10–15 cm of floor either side, and 20–40 cm at each end.
| Hallway width | Runner width |
|---|---|
| 90–100 cm | 60–75 cm |
| 100–120 cm | 75–90 cm |
| 120 cm + | 90–110 cm |
Short
Entries, beside the bed, in front of the kitchen bench.
Centre it on the doorway or bench.
Shop runnersClassic
