Which rooms are suitable for large rugs?

Large rugs divide the room and add comfort to the home. Depending on the room's size, a large rug can fit in everything from living rooms, to kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, family rooms, and dining rooms.

Large rugs for living rooms

Choose a size where the front legs of all seating furniture rest on the rug. A 250 x 350 cm area, for example, suits those with three pieces of furniture in a seating group. For larger sofas and open-plan layouts, 300 x 400 cm provides a more comprehensive impression.

Large rugs in kitchens

Place a flat-woven wool rug that fits under the dining table or in the middle of the kitchen. Allow at least a 60 cm margin around the table so that chairs can be pulled out without leaving the rug. A round rug 250 cm in diameter works for any table with more than 4 chairs.

Large rugs in bedrooms

Let the rug extend 50 to 70 cm beyond the sides of the bed. For a double bed of 180-200 cm, 250x350 cm works in most bedrooms. An alternative is two bedroom rugs along the sidesthat meet at the front, making it look like one large rug.

What are the advantages of a large rug?

How do you choose the right large rug?

The easiest way to choose the right large rug is to consider the room, furniture, your preferences, and how the space is used. Here's a step-by-step guide to finding the right large rug:

1. Measure the area.Check the dimensions of where the furniture ends, wall to wall, and the overall size of the room.
2. Measure the furniture.Look at how large the furniture is and what proportion of the room it occupies.
3. Your preferences.Choose the right material, color, and pattern that suits your interior style.
4. How the area is used.The type of rug to choose depends somewhat on how the area is used. For example, if you drag heavy objects across the rug, a thin rug might be better, while if children are playing on it, a thick, soft rug is a better idea.
