Long kitchen rug: linear elegance and continuous comfort
The long kitchen rug lengthens the perspective, unifies work areas, and protects the floor where you walk the most. In front of a long countertop, between the sink and the stovetop, or facing an island, it creates a comfortable corridor that naturally guides your movements. Its elongated shape avoids visual breaks: the kitchen appears cleaner, and circulation flows more smoothly. Underfoot, the cushioning makes standing softer; on the floor, the non-slip sole stabilizes each step near water and oil. The result: a precise, welcoming space that is easy to maintain on a daily basis. 🍽️🚶♀️
Why a corridor format makes a difference
In an open-plan room, a long kitchen rug creates a functional strip that separates the preparation area from the rest of the living room without creating a partition. In a kitchen with a hallway, it visually lengthens the room by following the walking path. On a cold floor, it provides instant warmth and reduces the sound of footsteps. Its surface captures splashes, crumbs, and micro-scratches from chairs or utensils, while cleaning in just a few steps. The right choice of material and color makes the overall look even more legible: mottled to tolerate marks, textured plain for a sober effect, or a longitudinal pattern to stretch the space.
💡 Template in 2 minutes
Tape the desired length (e.g., 60 x 180 cm) along the worktop with painter's tape. Open drawers and dishwashers: if they touch, reduce by 5–10 cm. You can confirm the footprint before purchasing, so there are no surprises.
Key features to remember
- Elongated design that guides the gaze and structures the work trajectory.
- Continuous comfort for extended standing, from rinsing to cooking.
- Extended protection against drops, stains and micro-scratches.
- Stability thanks to a TPR/rubber sole that stays in place.
- Shades and patterns designed to visually stretch the room.

⛔ Don'ts
- Do not block the dishwasher outlet: leave 3–5 cm of clearance for the opening.
- Avoid permanent double-sided adhesives : they damage the floor and limit cleaning.
- No folding for storage: roll to keep it perfectly flat.
- Do not place adjustable appliance feet on the carpet: risk of marks and slipping.
Ready to choose your format?
Measure your actual path (sink → counter → hob), simulate with tape, check the opening of the doors and the position of the robot. Choose material and pattern according to your lifestyle, then validate the shade in the morning and evening light.

50 cm in front of the sink, 60 cm along a linear length. Your supports remain on the carpet without encroaching under the furniture.
Yes, if the rug is flat and without fringes. Keep the edges flat and avoid high thresholds nearby.
Yes, with a thin, breathable sole . Increase the temperature gradually and check the grip for the first few hours.
Woven vinyl or smooth PVC : wipes clean and dries quickly. For extra softness, dense polyester can be washed on a short cycle.
Unroll flat for 30 minutes, reverse the roll for 5 minutes if necessary, then lay on a dry floor. Two thin anti-slip strips at the ends are sufficient.
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.
