Indoor jute round 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.

Quick proportions memo : Center the rug over the living area (sofa, bed, table), not necessarily over the room. Keep the edges even for a clean look.

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.

Mistakes to avoid
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.

Adjust the size to the surface area of ​​the room

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)

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?

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).
