Find the Perfect Rug Size for Every Room
Not sure what rug size suits your space? Our easy-to-follow Rug Size Guide helps you visualise the ideal fit for each area of your home — from cosy bedrooms and spacious living rooms to functional hallways and stylish outdoor areas.
Explore layouts for all rug sizes — including runners, round rugs, small accent mats, and oversized statement pieces — with expert styling tips for every room.
Living Room
When choosing a rug for your living room, less is NOT more. Smaller rugs can make a space look smaller or cluttered in comparison to larger rugs which give the illusion of a more spacious room.
For a classic living layout, place the rug in the centre of the room and place the front legs of your sofa and armchairs on the rug. This will help create a better aesthetic and cleaner appearance.
280x380cm / 300x40cm
Ideal for large, open-plan spaces. This size accommodates all major furniture pieces, creating a cohesive look.
240x330cm
Suitable for medium-sized living rooms. Allows front legs of sofas and chairs to rest on the rug, defining the seating area.
200x290cm
Perfect for smaller living rooms. Fits under a coffee table and partially under surrounding furniture.
160x230cm
Works well in compact spaces. Ideal for placing under a coffee table or in front of a fireplace.
120x170cm
A small rug is a versatile size ideal for smaller spaces or accent areas. Use it under a smaller coffee table in compact living rooms.
Bedroom
A rug in the bedroom is all about a warm and comfortable underfoot, especially for those with hard flooring! For those wanting a larger rug for the room, we recommend a rectangular rug that sits right under the lower end of the bed and extends at least 50cm beyond the sides of the bed (depending on the size of your bedroom).
For those who don't want a large rug but still want a warm underfoot when getting out of bed, we recommend a round or runner rug to place at either side of the bed.
King Bed – 280x380cm or 300x400cm
Extends beyond the bed and nightstands, providing a luxurious feel.
Queen Bed – 240x330cm
Offers ample coverage on all sides of the bed, enhancing comfort.
Double Bed – 200x290cm
Fits under the bed and nightstands, leaving a balanced border.
Single Bed – 150x230cm
Ideal for placing under the bed, with additional space on the sides.
Dining Room
Scale and proportion is key when placing a rug in your dining room. As a rule, you want your rug to be large enough to accommodate all the dining chairs, even when they are pulled out from the table. We recommend your rug be large enough to extend around 60-70cm beyond your table.
For high traffic, spill-risk areas like the dining area, we recommend a low-pile rug and easy-to-clean material like polypropylene for a rug.
Large Table (8+ seats) – 240x330cm
Ensures all chairs remain on the rug, even when pulled out.
Small Table (4 seats) – 160x230cm
Offers a balanced look, accommodating the table and chairs comfortably.
Hallway Rugs
80x300cm & 80x400cm or continuous cut to length runners: Perfect for narrow corridors, adding warmth and guiding flow.
Kitchen
When choosing a rug for the kitchen, consider the size and layout of your space. As a rule of thumb, the area in front of the sink is the most functional place to put your rug.
50x80cm to 120x170cm
Ideal for placing in front of the sink or stove, adding comfort underfoot.
Runners – Custom Length or set sizes
Suitable for galley kitchens or along islands, enhancing the workspace.
Bathroom
60x90cm & 90x150cm: Place in front of the vanity or bathtub for a soft, absorbent surface.
