Rug Size Guide: How to Choose for Every Room
Choosing the right rug size is essential for the balance of your interior design. A rug that is too small seems to float, while a well-proportioned rug defines the space.
Living Room: Anchoring the Furniture
The rug should be wider than your sofa. Leave 20 to 30 cm of floor space visible between the rug and the walls.
-
Large space / Open space: 300×400 cm or larger. All furniture legs rest on the rug.
-
Standard size: 250×350 cm. The front legs of the sofa are on the rug, the back legs are outside.
-
Small living room / Studio: 160×230 cm. Placed only under the coffee table.
Dining Room: Chair Comfort
The rug should accommodate the table and chairs, even when they are pushed back. Allow for an overhang of 60 to 70 cm beyond the tabletop.
-
Table for 4 people: 200×200 cm (round) or 200×290 cm (rectangular).
-
Table for 6 people: 240×330 cm or 250×350 cm.
-
Table for 8 people and more: 300×400 cm or larger.
Bedroom: A Soft Wake-Up
Leave at least 50 cm of rug extending beyond each side of the bed.
-
Double/Queen Bed (160×200 cm): 250×350 cm (full coverage) or 200×290 cm (placed under the lower two-thirds of the bed).
-
King Bed (180×200 cm+): 300×400 cm or two 70×200 cm bed runners on each side.
-
Single Bed (90×200 cm): 120×180 cm or a 70×200 cm walkway along the side.
Hallways and Passageways
Measuring tip: The newspaper method
If you're unsure, use old newspapers to simulate the rug's dimensions on the floor. Use a ruler to trace the exact outline. This physical template allows you to visualize the actual footprint before purchasing.
Expert tip: When in doubt, choose the larger size. A generously sized rug visually enlarges the room, while a rug that is too small shrinks the space.
