Rug Size Guide: How to Choose the Right Rug Size

How to Choose the Right Rug Size

A helpful way to choose the right rug size is to measure your space first, then mark out the rug dimensions on the floor using masking tape, painter’s tape, newspaper, or bedsheets. This gives you a clearer sense of how the rug will look in your room before ordering. It can be especially useful when comparing popular rug sizes such as 230cm x 160cm, 300cm x 200cm, 330cm x 240cm and 400cm x 300cm for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms.

Living Room Rug Sizes

For living rooms, larger rugs generally help create a more balanced and connected space. Popular living room rug sizes include 230cm x 160cm, 300cm x 200cm, 330cm x 240cm and 400cm x 300cm, depending on the size of your sofa and room layout.

Dining Room Rug Sizes

For dining rooms, choose a rug that allows the dining chairs to remain on the rug when pulled out. Common dining room rug sizes include 300cm x 200cm, 330cm x 240cm and 400cm x 300cm. Round dining settings may also suit a 240cm x 240cm rug.

Bedroom Rug Sizes

For bedrooms, a rug can sit underneath the bed or be placed as runners beside the bed. Popular bedroom rug sizes include 300cm x 200cm, 330cm x 240cm, 400cm x 300cm and 300cm x 80cm runners.
