How to Buy the Right Sized Rug for Your Space
Choosing the perfect rug for your home is about more than just color and texture—it’s also about getting the right size. A well-sized rug anchors your space, enhances your furniture layout, and creates a sense of balance.
At Gaudion Furniture, we’re excited to introduce a wide range of rug in-store! To help you find the perfect fit, here’s our expert guide on how to choose the right-sized rug for any room.
Living Room
Your rug should be large enough to define the seating area. Here are some layout options:
✅ Large Rug (e.g., 300x400cm) – All furniture legs rest on the rug for a cohesive look.
✅ Medium Rug (e.g., 250x350cm) – Front legs of sofas and chairs on the rug for a balanced feel.
✅ Smaller Rug (e.g., 200x300cm) – Works well in compact spaces with just a coffee table on top.
Tip: Leave 20-30cm of floor space around the rug to frame your space.
Dining Room
A rug under your dining table should be large enough for chairs to stay on the rug when pulled out.
🔹 Standard rule: The rug should extend at least 60cm beyond the table on all sides.
🔹 Common sizes:
- 200x300cm for a 4-6 seater table
- 250x350cm for a 6-8 seater table
- 300x400cm for larger tables
Tip: Choose a flat-weave or low-pile rug for easy chair movement and maintenance.
Bedroom
A rug in the bedroom adds warmth and comfort underfoot. Here’s how to size it right:
💡 King or Queen Bed: Use a 250x350cm rug under the bed, extending beyond the sides.
💡 Smaller Rooms: Opt for runners (80x300cm) on either side of the bed for a stylish touch.
Tip: Your rug should extend at least 50cm beyond the bed for a proportional look.
