How to choose the right size carpet for your interior?
Whether you buy the rug first and it becomes the source of your decorating inspiration for the room, or it is the finishing touch to your decor, choosing the right size is the first step. When the rug is the right size, it creates a well-balanced room.
A rug is one of the centerpieces of your decor, so proportion is very important.
The size and layout of the carpet in the living room
For a larger living room, a 200×290 rug is a good option.
You can also order a custom-made rug.
What size rug for the dining room?
To have a beautiful dining room, you have to make sure that the chairs are always on the carpet when you move them away from the table to sit down. Indeed, it is not very aesthetic to have half of the chair outside the carpet.
To determine the size of your dining room rug:
- Move all the chairs around the table as if you were going to sit down.
- Leave them in this position.
- Measure the space created by this chair arrangement. These measurements will tell you what size rug to purchase.
- For example, a dining table for 6 to 8 people will generally need a rug measuring 200×290 cm.
Which carpet for bedrooms:
1. The adult bedroom
There are a number of ways to arrange a rug in a bedroom. Perhaps the most popular is to place the rug perpendicular to the bed. It is often placed halfway under the bed in front of your nightstands as this maximizes the usable surface area of the rug. This way, you can wake up on a soft, comfortable surface with your feet.
For a single bed (90 cm x 190 cm), a 120×170 rug allows you to have 40 cm on each side of the bed and approximately 80 cm at the end of the bed.
For a double bed (160cm x 200cm), a 160×230 rug would give you 35cm on each side of the bed and 60cm at the end of your bed. Of course, the rug area at the end of the bed depends on how close you place the rug to the nightstands. Ideally, you can just make sure your feet land on it when you get out of bed.
2. For the baby and child's room
For children's bedrooms, be creative, anything goes as long as the colours remain in harmony with the style of the room. For example, you can put a 80x150 cm rug at the foot of the bed on one or both sides of the child's bed or a larger rug of 120x170 cm or 135x190 cm to create a comfortable play area because children spend a lot of time sitting on the floor playing. You can also choose a round rug to soften the room. The possibilities are endless!
