Black and white football rug: elegance and passion at child's height
The black and white football rug brings the magic of the pitch to the heart of the bedroom. Its contrasting base is reminiscent of the legendary ball, but its role goes much further: it demarcates the playing area , cushions steps, protects the floor and creates a cozy corner for reading, dreaming and replaying the most beautiful goals. The sobriety of the two shades goes with everything: white furniture, light wood, colorful storage boxes, team posters. Underfoot, the touch is soft and reassuring; on a daily basis, maintenance remains simple. The black and white football rug quickly becomes the favorite lawn, the one where we warm up in the morning and talk about the evening's match. ⚽️
It also serves as a visual cue: we place the Playmobil on the "surface", we draw a "center line" to share the puzzle, we invent simple rules that transform tidying up into a game. The black/white contrast structures the room without darkening it, especially if we play with touches of green, trophy yellow or sky blue. Choosing this rug means offering a field of expression to the imagination, while keeping a readable , welcoming and easy-to-maintain room.
💡 Kick-off in 2 minutes
Position the black and white football rug so that it extends 15–25 cm in front of the bed: this creates a comfortable "clearance zone" when getting up. Leave 3–5 cm of air space along the baseboards for breathing and effortless vacuuming.
Why this rug appeals to kids (and reassures parents)
- Play marker : Graphic lines help invent mini-matches, sort toys by “zones” and channel energy.
- Comfort : comfortable cushioning for sitting, reading, lying down, jumping from one drawing to another without hurting yourself.
- Versatility : neutral base that grows with the child, compatible with “football”, reading, music, homework.
- Easy maintenance : common stains managed in a few steps, quick drying, color that stays clear.
Size, placement and security: concrete benchmarks
Adapt the size to the furniture and habits. For a 9–12 m² bedroom, aim for a rug that "covers" the bed and play area. In a playroom, opt for a more generous rectangle, easy to align with storage. The goal: create a clear island where the child knows where to play and where to put things away.
| Scenario | Recommended size | Investment | Effect obtained | Security advice | Express interview |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In front of single bed | 120×170 cm | 2/3 under the foot of the bed, 20 cm overhang | Soft awakening, floor play area | Non-slip underlay recommended | Gentle suction 1–2×/week |
| Room center 10–14 m² | 140×200 cm | Centered, edges parallel to the long wall | Clear island, smooth traffic flow | Keep 3–5 cm of air space at the baseboards | Damp microfiber, dry flat |
| Reading corner | 100×150 cm | Library corner + armchair | Quiet nest, reduced noise | Avoid unstable floor lamps | Land of Sommières on fat |
| Games room | 160×230 cm | Aligned with the low storage units | Large match field | TPR/rubber sole for stability | Warm sponge after painting/gouache |
| Under desk | 120×160 cm | Under chair + front overhang | Controlled glide, protected floor | 6–8 mm profile for castors | Daily wiping on friction areas |
Materials and sensations in everyday life
Dense polyester : soft touch, machine washable at 30–40°C depending on size, dry flat. Flat-weave polypropylene : clean silhouette, very durable, easy to clean with a sponge, ideal for a lot of crafts. Cotton blend : breathable, natural feel, perfect for playing barefoot. Woven vinyl : easy to wipe clean after painting or salt dough, good hold of black and white patterns. The choice depends on the room and the uses; in all cases, a non-slip base stabilizes the terrain.
Easy to create atmospheres
Black & white + lawn green + light wood
Black & White + Trophy Yellow + Soft Gray
Black & white + sky blue + brushed metal
black & white + red supporter
These combinations keep the black and white football rug as the base of the game while adding a touch of a favorite team through light touches: cushion cover, posters, baskets.
💡 Post-match routine
Before bed, 60 seconds flat: sweep the "surface areas" with a damp microfiber cloth, roll a soft brush to lift the strand, and put the balls in a basket near the mat. The field is ready for tomorrow.
Maintain without stress
Vacuum with a hard floor nozzle to remove crumbs and light dust. Chocolate or jam: dab immediately with warm soapy water, dry flat. Mud after training: let it dry, brush gently, vacuum, then wipe with a damp cloth. Snack grease: a pinch of Sommières earth for 20 minutes, vacuum, warm cloth. If the format is compatible, a short cycle at 30–40°C without fabric softener will restore volume. Avoid excessive heat; air drying keeps the fibers supple.
⛔ Don'ts
- Do not use bleach : it turns white yellow and black gray.
- Avoid folding when wet : roll and let dry flat away from a heat source.
- No permanent adhesives under the carpet: marks on the floor and complicated maintenance.
- Do not stick the carpet against the baseboards : leave 3–5 cm for easy ventilation and vacuuming.
- Avoid a format that is too small and isolated in the middle of the room: opt for a model that connects the bed, desk or storage.
Growing up with the carpet
A black and white football mat has stood the test of time. Small, it serves as a track for balls and cars. Larger, it welcomes dribbling challenges between cushions, bedtime reading, or building Lego goals. The patterns become learning benchmarks: counting the panels, naming "area," "center," "corner." For a birthday party, it transforms into a mini-arena: mark off areas with repositionable tape, distribute "referee" cards, and launch a foam penalty shootout tournament. The room remains tidy and the pitch is always ready.

Depending on the material and size: Polyester/cotton blend: yes, short cycle 30–40°C, moderate spin, dry flat. Vinyl/flat weave: damp wipe.
With a TPR sole or non-slip underlay, stability is excellent. Allow 24 hours for the product to lie flat after unpacking.
Choose flat weave or vinyl for quick dust removal. Regular vacuuming and daily airing significantly improve comfort.
Yes, with a thin, breathable sole. Increase the temperature gradually and check the grip during the first few hours.
A slightly mottled pattern hides better. Adhesive roll between two suctions to maintain a flawless finish.
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.
