Choosing a rug can feel like a big decision, but it comes down to three key things: placement, size, and style. The right rug will not only look beautiful but also add warmth, comfort, and practicality to your home.
Living Room
A living room rug adds character, texture, and warmth:
- Larger rugs make the room feel bigger and more cohesive
- Ideally, have all furniture legs on the rug (or at least front legs for balance)
- Leave approx. 20cm breathing space from the walls
- Orientate the rug to match the room’s shape
Dining Room
Dining rugs help define the space and add softness:
- Choose a size that extends 60–70cm beyond the table so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out
- Round rugs pair beautifully with round tables
- For high-use areas, consider flat weaves or pure wool rugs for easy cleaning
Bedroom
A rug brings softness underfoot and anchors the bed:
- Place under the bed, running in front of the bedside tables
- Allow approx. 60cm of rug beyond the sides and foot of the bed
- Works beautifully to frame and balance the room while adding warmth
Standard Rug Sizes
- 1.7 x 2.4m – kids’ rooms, smaller spaces, under a single bed
- 2 x 3m / 2.4 x 3m – double bed, small dining table, or compact living room
- 2.5 x 3.5m / 2.7 x 3.6m – most popular size, suits open plan living, Queen+ beds, or family dining tables
- 3 x 4m / 3 x 4.2m – large spaces, allows all furniture on the rug, perfect for open plan zones
- Custom sizes are available, and we can help you choose what’s right for your space.
Rug Underlay
Underlay is the finishing touch to protect your rug and keep it in place.
- Prevents slipping and movement
- Protects the weave and extends the life of your rug
- Adds a layer of cushioning underfoot
- We recommend underlay for all rugs, especially on hard floors.
