Explore our Modern Living Room Rugs : the quintessence of contemporary design
In a contemporary space, the Modern Living Room Rug is not just an accessory: it is the cornerstone that structures the volumes, softens the acoustics and creates a warm atmosphere without overloading the decor. Clean patterns, clean lines, current palette: everything contributes to creating a readable base around which the sofa, coffee table and storage are arranged. Placed in the heart of the living room, the Modern Living Room Rug creates a friendly island , guides circulation and reinforces the coherence of the style. Its surface discreetly captures the light, reveals a neat texture and highlights the neighboring materials: blond wood, walnut, black metal, linen, leather or light ceramic.
Choosing this type of rug means striking a subtle balance : enough character to anchor the room, yet enough sobriety to let the furniture breathe. Minimalist patterns —fine stripes, subdued chevrons, softened checkerboards, tone-on-tone arches—bring rhythm without being overpowering. Controlled hues play the card of sophisticated neutrals (beige, greige, pearl gray), graphic blacks , or warmer touches (terracotta, cognac brown) to harmonize Scandinavian, industrial, bohemian, or chic-hotel ambiances.
🎨 Modernity and elegance
- 📐 Clean patterns and calm geometric lines to dialogue with contemporary volumes.
- 🌈 Current palette : sophisticated neutrals, deep blues, urban grays, terracotta notes.
- ✨ Impeccable finishes : braided edges, tight weave, regular surface and lasting flatness.

💬 Customer Testimonials
★★★★★ – “The Modern Living Room Rug instantly structured our living room. Comfortable, quiet, and beautifully lit.” — Camille R.
★★★★☆ – “Easy maintenance; one vacuum and it’s perfect. The minimalist lines go with everything.” — Hakim L.
🧹 Recommended maintenance
- Vacuum 1–2×/week with a soft brush to aerate the fibers.
- Stains : dab with warm soapy water ( neutral pH ), rinse by dabbing, let air dry.
- Rotate : Every 2–3 months to balance sun exposure and passages.
- Protection : Avoid bleach and chlorinated stain removers. Use a non-slip rug pad.
⛔ To avoid
Do not rub a stain vigorously: dab repeatedly instead. Do not install the rug on a freshly waxed or oiled floor: the grip will decrease. Never fold a wet rug: roll it up and let it dry flat, away from a direct heat source.
Two atmospheres to adopt it
Minimal graphics
Modern living room rug with fine lines, cream sofa, glass table, black metal. Clear reading, preserved light, precise and calming decor.
Warm chic
Dense charcoal gray velvet , walnut wood, brushed brass, and ecru textiles. A cozy atmosphere, visual comfort , and high-end print.
Yes: choose micro-patterns and a 160x230 cm format in front of a 2-seater sofa. Raised furniture and light colors maintain the openness effect.
A heather gray or tone-on-tone pattern hides micro-particles better than a very dark or very light solid color. Gently vacuum 1–2 times a week.
Yes, as long as the pile remains moderate. Use a gentle setting and complete with manual edge vacuuming for a flawless finish.
200×300 cm allows you to place your front legs on the carpet and create a structured island . The table should extend 15–25 cm all around.
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, rotate the rug regularly, and use pH-neutral cleaners. No bleach or optical brighteners.

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.
