Pass the carpet under the sofa or in front? There is no predefined rule, you can choose one or the other of these two options. But in both cases, you should make sure that the length of the carpet covers at least the length of the sofa.
 
Once you have made your choice, try to visualize a frame in the middle of the floor of your room (you can materialize this frame with paint adhesive or newspaper, so you will have a good overview of the area covered by your future carpet).
 
You must then determine the size of this frame and know if you want to put all your armchairs on the carpet or outside this frame. Thus, you will determine the ideal width of your carpet.
 
For a standard size lounge, we recommend a size 160 × 230cm carpet.

For a larger living room, a carpet of size 200 × 290 is a good option. 

Finally, if you have a very large space to decorate, you can cover it with several staggered carpets respecting the harmony of colors.

You can also order A tailor -made carpet.

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. Indeed, it is not very aesthetic to have half the chair outside the carpet.

To determine the size of your dining room carpet:

  • Move all the chairs from the table as if you were going to sit down.
  • Leave them in this position.
  • Measure the space created by this provision of chairs. These measurements indicate the carpet size to buy.
  • For example, a dining table for 6 to 8 people will generally need a 200 × 290 cm carpet.

What a carpet for the bedrooms: 

1. The adult bedroom

The carpet can be placed in a different way in a bedroom. The most popular is undoubtedly the carpet placed perpendicular to the bed. It is often placed halfway under the bed in front of your night tables as it maximizes the usable surface of the carpet. In this way, you can have your feet on a soft and comfortable surface when you wake up.

For a bed, a place (90 cm x 190 cm), a 120 × 170 carpet allows you to have 40 cm on each side of the bed and about 80 cm cm at the end of the bed.

For a two -seater bed (160 cm x 200 cm), a carpet of 160 × 230 will give you 35 cm on each side of the bed and 60 cm at the end of your bed. Of course, the carpet surface at the end of the bed depends on the distance to which you bring the mat in the night tables together. Ideally, you can just make sure that your feet fall on it when you get out of bed.

2. For the baby and children's room

For children's rooms, be creative, everything is allowed as long as the colors remain in harmony with the style of the room. For example, you can put a carpet of 80 × 150 cm in bed down on one or both sides of the child bed or a larger carpet of 120x170 cm or 135x190 cm to create a comfortable play area because children spend a lot of time sitting on the ground. You can also choose a round carpet to soften the room. The possibilities are multiple!
