Large outdoor rug: the simple touch that transforms a terrace or balcony into a true living space
We often tend to decorate our outdoor spaces quickly: a table, two chairs… and that’s it. Yet, a single detail is all it takes to create the impression of a truly thoughtful, welcoming space where you want to spend time. That detail is a large outdoor rug .
Placed on a patio, balcony, or in a corner of the garden, it defines the space, makes the whole area more inviting, and instantly creates that "outdoor living room" feel. Visually, it connects the furniture. And on a daily basis, it provides a more pleasant surface underfoot, while remaining practical: designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor living, it will be with you season after season.
Interior design tip: create an "outdoor living room" effect in 5 minutes
Place your large outdoor rug under the front legs of the sofa/bench (or under the coffee table if you only have armchairs). Add a throw, two cushions and a string of lights: you'll have a cozy atmosphere, even on a small balcony.
Design and color palette: a more stylish exterior, effortlessly
A successful outdoor rug should be beautiful, but also easy to integrate. The idea isn't to clutter your patio; it's rather to create a harmonious base. Patterns and colors designed for outdoor use have a real advantage: they add character while remaining practical.
If your furniture is already colorful, opt for a softer rug to tone down the overall look. Conversely, if you have neutral furniture (black, white, wood, rattan), a large outdoor rug with a bolder pattern adds depth and prevents the "empty patio" effect. The result: your dining or relaxation area looks more finished, more inviting, more "indoors," but outdoors.
Colour tip: easy coordination (even if you're not comfortable with decorating)
Choose a dominant color (wood/rattan, gray, off-white, etc.) and add just two accent colors (cushions, flower pots, placemats). The large outdoor rug ties everything together and prevents random mixing and matching.
Durability & comfort: designed for real outdoor life
Outdoors, a rug needs to withstand the sun, minor spills, and foot traffic. A large, well-chosen outdoor rug helps you fully enjoy your space, stress-free. It's designed to stay beautiful over time: colors that retain their vibrancy, a surface that's easy to clean, and a design adapted to outdoor conditions (light rain, dust, leaves, foot traffic).
- Sun resistance : ideal if your terrace is very exposed.
- Easy to clean : a real plus after a meal or drinks.
- Comfort underfoot : more pleasant than a bare floor, especially on tiles or concrete.
- A warmer atmosphere : the exterior immediately feels more “inhabited”.
Sizes & placement: choose carefully for practicality
The most common pitfall: a rug that's too small. Visually, it "floats" and doesn't define the space. A large outdoor rug, on the other hand, should encompass the area (dining area or relaxation corner) so that everything looks cohesive.
| Outdoor space | Recommended size | Recommended investment | Effect achieved | Practical advice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balcony (bistro table / 2 chairs) | 120×170 to 160×230 cm | Under the table + passing in front of the door | A cozier, better-defined balcony | Leave one edge free for the door to open |
| Terrace relaxation area (armchairs + coffee table) | 160×230 to 200×290 cm | Front feet of the seats on the carpet | Immediate “outdoor living room” effect | Aim for a visible margin around the edge to allow for breathing room. |
| Dining terrace (table for 4–6 people) | Large format suitable for the table | Chairs that stay on the carpet even when pulled out | Elegant and structured dining area | Add 60–70 cm around the table |
| Large terrace / landscaped garden | 200×290 and more | Central area with grouped furniture | Exterior “like an extra room” | Measure the passageways (doors, aisles) |
| Veranda | 160×230 to 240×340 cm | Depending on the layout (relaxation or meal) | Warm and bright atmosphere | Choose a format that connects the furniture |
Maintenance: Keeping an outdoor rug clean without spending hours on it
The good news: a large outdoor rug is designed for easy care. For routine maintenance, you don't need complicated products. A simple routine is all it takes to keep it clean and beautiful.
- Shake or brush regularly to remove dust and leaves.
- Rinse if necessary (depending on use and season), then let air dry.
- Clean up quickly after a meal: a soft sponge and a little water are usually enough.
- In winter , if your outdoor space is very exposed, store it indoors to prolong its lifespan.
Don't do
Avoid harsh products (like bleach), stiff brushes, and very hot steam. Don't leave the rug in a constantly damp area (permanent puddles, a corner that's always in the shade and damp). And if you need to move it, avoid dragging it roughly on a rough floor: roll it up; it will be easier and gentler on the fibers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a large outdoor rug withstand the sun?
Yes, that's one of the great advantages of a rug designed for outdoor use: it's designed to keep its colors vibrant even with regular sun exposure.
Can it be placed on a balcony in the city?
Absolutely. A large outdoor rug is perfect for making a balcony feel warmer, especially if the floor is cold or unsightly. It also helps to define a dining or relaxation area.
How do I clean it after a meal or a stain?
Act quickly: use a soft sponge, a little water, and dab gently without rubbing too hard. For routine maintenance, regularly removing surface dirt is sufficient in most cases.
Do you need a non-slip underlay outside?
On some very smooth floors (tiles), yes, it's a good idea: it stabilizes the rug, improves comfort and prevents it from moving with the wind or foot traffic.
Where can you discover other large rugs to furnish your spaces?
You can browse the Large Living Room Rug collection to explore other styles and sizes.
In short, a large outdoor rug is a smart choice if you want a more beautiful, comfortable, and inviting outdoor space. It structures the patio, warms up the atmosphere, and gives that pleasant feeling of having an extra room in the house.

Rug Size Guide
Select the perfect size for your rug
A well-sized rug transforms a space: it anchors furniture, streamlines circulation, and enhances ambiance. Choosing the right size depends largely on the room, the furniture, and the space required. Use this simple, visual guide to make a confident decision.
It is essential to consider the space where the rug will be placed.
In the living room
- 2-3 seater sofa → 160×230 cm minimum. Ideal: 200×300 cm if the room allows it.
- Aim for at least the front two legs of the sofa on the carpet. Leave 20–30 cm of air space from the walls.
- In a corner configuration, go wide: the rug should extend 15–25 cm beyond the coffee table all around.
In the dining room
- Add ~60cm around the table to pull out the chairs without snagging.
- Table 160×90 → rug ~240×340 ; table Ø120 → rug Ø200 (if round, for information).
- Prefer a flat weave (chairs that slide better).
In the room
- Bed 140/160 → carpet 200×290 (or 160×230 at the foot of the bed).
- Alternative small pieces : two 50×160 runners on each side.
- Visual comfort: 60–70 cm overhang on the bed exit side.
Entrance & hallway
- Measure the net width and leave 5–10 cm of air on each side.
- Practical formats: 45×115 , 40×120 , 50×160 , 80×120 depending on the length.
- Add a non-slip rug pad for safety.

What about round rugs?
Diameter replaces length/width. Choose Ø according to the central unit:
- Bedroom or reading corner : Ø120–Ø160 under an armchair or at the foot of the bed.
- Round table : table Ø120 → ideal rug Ø200 (clearance of ~40 cm all around the chairs).
- Entrance : Ø90–Ø120 for a soft visual welcome, without obstructing the door opening.
How to measure quickly and well
The kraft (or ribbon) template
Cut out a rectangle to the target dimensions (or trace with painter's tape ) and live with it for 24 hours. Check: circulation, alignment with furniture, door/drawer clearances.
Simple rules
- Living room : 20–30 cm of air on the walls, two feet in front of the seats on the carpet.
- Dining room : +60 cm minimum all around the table.
- Bedroom : 60–70 cm overhang on the bed exit side or two 50×160 runners.
Carpet too small (“floating” effect), place a long pile under low doors (friction), forget the non-slip underlay, center it on the room instead of the living area.
This rug size guide helps you quickly select the right size for each room. Need personalized advice? Measure your area, note the width of your key pieces of furniture, and compare with the table above.
Adjust the size to the surface area of the room
Small room (< 12 m²)
Choose a rug that leaves the baseboards free (edge 20–30 cm from the wall) to avoid the “wall-to-wall” effect that visually shrinks. A 120x160 or 140x200 works well, or two 50x160 runners in “Japanese steps” for the bedroom.
Medium room (12–20 m²)
The 160×230 is a versatile standard for living rooms and bedrooms. If you have generous furnishings (corner sofa, sideboard), move up to the 200×300 to maintain balanced proportions.
Large room (> 20 m²)
Aim for a large size (200x300 or 240x340 depending on the collection) to anchor the area . In an open living room, a large rug “reads” the seating and zones things in without partitioning.
Shapes & proportions (rect., square, round, oval)
- Rectangular : the easiest to align with furniture (sofas, beds, rectangular tables). A natural choice if the room is elongated.
- Square : Perfect for a square room or a conversation area with two armchairs and a square coffee table.
- Round : softens very straight architecture, enhances round tables and reading corners.
- Oval : excellent in a wide hallway or dining room with an oval table, as it follows the flow without sharp corners.
Visual tip : Always align one side of the rug with a strong axis (edge of the sofa, edge of the bed, edge of the table). This “vanishing line” immediately calms the composition.
Living room configurations (concrete cases)
Straight sofa + 1 armchair
Objective : Front legs of the sofa + base of the armchair on the carpet. Typical size: 160×230 (compact living room) or 200×300 (standard living room).
Corner sofa (L)
Choose a rug that extends 15–25 cm beyond the coffee table and lean towards 200x300 to avoid the cramped effect under the chaise longue.
Two sofas facing each other
Choose a large size (200x300) so that each seat has at least the front legs on it. A rug that is too small “opens” a gap in the center.
Open space & zoning
In an open space, the rug serves as a functional signal : a large 240x340 rug under the living room, a 200x300 rug under the table, and an 80x240 runner to guide traffic. Keep at least 15 cm between the edge of the rug and the main passageway.
Round, rectangular or extendable table?
| Table shape | Table dimensions | Recommended carpet | Clearance around |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rectangular | 140×80 | 200×290 | ~60 cm for chairs |
| Rectangular | 160×90 | 240×340 | ~60 cm |
| Rectangular | 180×90 | 240×340 (or 250×350) | ~60 cm |
| Round | Ø100 | Ø180 | ~40–50 cm |
| Round | Ø120 | Ø200 | ~40–60 cm |
| Stretchable | 160→200 | 240×340 | ~60 cm (open position) |
Measure the open position of extendable tables and size your rug accordingly.
Bedroom: bed, bench and runners
- Rug under bed bench : add 20–30 cm on each side of the bench to avoid the “sitting on the edge” impression.
- Two runners : 50×160 or 60×180, placed ~10 cm from the bed, aligned at the bedside.
- Small bedroom : prefer at the foot of the bed (160×230) rather than “full under the bed”, to keep breathing space on the sides.
Corridors & Stairs
Measure the finished width, deduct 5–10 cm from each side. For the length, leave 10–15 cm free before the threshold and door. Use a non-slip underlay : essential in high-traffic areas.
Thickness, doors & maintenance
- Low doors : Beware of long-pile rugs (risk of friction). A flat weave is safer near openings.
- Maintenance : the larger the rug, the more crumbs and dust it will “eat” — plan to vacuum regularly (brush OFF on loop pile).
- Carpet underlay : improves stability, comfort and longevity (less wear from sliding).
Quick FAQ
How to convert cm ↔ inches? 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Divide cm by 2.54 to get inches (e.g. 200 cm ≈ 78.74 in).
My living room feels empty despite a large sofa. What should I do? Go from 160x230 to 200x300 or add a perpendicular runner to close off the area.
A square rug in a rectangular living room? Yes, if you create a separate reading corner (armchair + floor lamp + square coffee table).
Round table on a rectangular rug? Possible, but demanding: keep at least 30–40 cm of air space on each side of the rectangle for a balanced effect.
Can you layer two rugs? Yes, to “zone” a space. Large neutral base + smaller pattern on top (10–20 cm overlap).

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked. If you cannot find what you are looking for, do not hesitate to contact us.
How do I choose the size of my rug?
The size of your rug depends on the room and the layout of your furniture. For a living room, for example, a large rug under which all the furniture fits gives a feeling of space. A smaller rug can define a space, such as a conversation area.
Do the photos online reflect the actual color of the rug?
We do our best to make colors as accurate as possible. However, shades may vary depending on screens and brightness settings.
How do I maintain my carpet?
Maintenance depends on the carpet material . Generally, a vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush used regularly and occasional professional cleaning are recommended.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship to many countries around the world. Shipping costs and times may vary depending on destination.
What is the return policy?
You have 14 days after receipt to return your rug if it does not suit you. Make sure it is in its original condition and see our "Return Policy" page for more details.
