How To Choose The Right Rug Size

Deciding what size rug to invest in can be tricky but we’re here to help with a few handy tips. Rugs are a great way to highlight certain areas in your home and bring the layout of a space together creating cohesion and warmth. Along with colour, design and material, it is important to consider proportion as the wrong size rug can either make a room feel cramped or dwarf your furniture.

  1. Consider the purpose of the rug: is it to fill an entire space or to spotlight an area?

    If you want to fill a space, measure out the room and allow 30cm between the rug and the wall. We can create custom size rugs for you - get in touch here

  2. We recommend using a bedsheet (or two) to help visualise the rug size in your space. Fold into the desired dimensions, stand back and see how it feels. Even taking a photo to come back to later can help.

  3. Consider layering rugs, this gives depth to your space and is a little less scary in terms of commitment - you can mix and match several rugs to refresh your space.
