Sizing guide · Room by room
Find the right size, first time.
The right size makes a room feel finished; the wrong one makes it feel smaller. Here’s how to choose, room by room — with illustrations, a to-scale size chart and a quick calculator.
The golden rules
Three rooms, three simple rules.
Every handmade rug is unique, so sizes can vary by a few centimetres from the standard sizes below — every listing shows the exact measurements.
Living room
At minimum, the front two legs of the sofa should sit on the rug — more coverage looks even better.
Usually 300 × 250 cm
Dining room
60–70 cm beyond the table on every side so chairs never catch the edge.
Usually 250 × 300 cm
Bedroom
Under the lower two-thirds of the bed, close in to the side tables, clear of the foot end.
Usually 300 × 250 cm
Room by room
Where the rug should sit.
Anchor the seating.
The rug should pull your sofa and chairs together into one conversation area. When in doubt, go bigger — a rug that’s too small is the most common mistake we see.
Typical size — Most living rooms: 300 × 250 cm or 350 × 270 cm
Room to pull out a chair.
Chairs should stay fully on the rug even when pulled out, so nobody catches a leg on the edge as they sit down.
Typical size — 6-seat table: 250 × 300 cm · 8-seat: 250 × 350 cm
Soft underfoot, first thing.
Place the rug across the lower two-thirds of the bed so there’s somewhere soft to step every morning, leaving the bedside tables on the floor.
Typical size — Most bedrooms: 300 × 250 cm · Double: 160 × 230 cm · King: 200 × 300 cm
Lead the way in.
A runner should frame the hallway floor, not fill it. Leave a margin of floor either side and stop short of each end so the space feels long and generous.
Typical size — Most hallways: 70–80 cm wide, 200–400 cm long

Before you buy
How to measure in four steps.
Measure the room
Note the length and width of the floor, and where doors, fireplaces and radiators sit.
Tape it out
Mark the rug size on the floor with masking tape and live with it for a day or two.
Check the furniture
Make sure the front legs of your sofa and chairs will sit comfortably on the rug.
Mind the doors
Check that doors can open over the rug, especially with a thicker pile.
