Rug Size Guide – Find the Perfect Fit for Your Space

Choosing the right rug size can transform your room, making it look balanced and stylish. At Shirazi Rug, we want to help you pick the perfect size for your space. This guide explains standard rug sizes, where to use them, and tips for measuring your room correctly.

Why Rug Size Matters

A rug is more than a floor covering—it defines the layout of your furniture and creates harmony in the room. A rug that’s too small can make your space feel awkward, while the right size makes it cozy and inviting.

Standard Rug Sizes and Where to Use Them

Small Rugs (80 x 150 cm – 120 x 180 cm)

  • Perfect for small areas, such as entryways, kitchens, or bathrooms.

  • Can be used as an accent rug under a coffee table in a compact space.

Medium Rugs (160 x 230 cm)

  • Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices.

  • In a living room, place the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug for a balanced look.

Large Rugs (200 x 300 cm – 250 x 350 cm)

  • Great for spacious living rooms, dining rooms, or master bedrooms.

  • For dining areas, make sure the rug extends at least 60 cm beyond the table so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.

Extra-Large Rugs (300 x 400 cm and above)

  • Best for open-plan spaces or large rooms where you want to create zones.

  • Place all furniture completely on the rug for a unified look.

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

✔ Measure Your Space First
Always measure the area where you plan to place the rug. Leave 20–40 cm of floor space around the rug for a balanced look.

✔ Living Room Layouts

  • Option 1: All furniture legs on the rug (for a luxurious look).

  • Option 2: Front legs of sofas and chairs on the rug (most common).

  • Option 3: Only the coffee table on the rug (for small spaces).

✔ Bedroom Layouts

  • Large rugs should go under the bed and extend on both sides for a soft landing.

  • For smaller rugs, place one on each side of the bed.

✔ Dining Room Layouts

  • The rug should be large enough for chairs to stay on the rug even when pulled out.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Too Small Rug: Makes the room feel disconnected.

  • No Measurement: Guessing often leads to buying the wrong size.

  • Ignoring Furniture Layout: The rug should complement the arrangement, not fight it.
