The right rug makes all the difference.

A rug does more than decorate. It frames your furniture, defines each zone and brings balance to the room. When the proportions are right, the space feels settled and cohesive.

Use these practical guidelines to choose with confidence.

Living Room

Position your rug to frame the seating area as one considered zone. Place at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug to anchor the layout.

• Small: 160 × 230 cm
  
• Standard: 190 × 290 cm
  
• Large: 240 × 330 cm or 300 × 400 cm
  

Tip: Leave 20–30 cm between the rug and walls for an open, balanced look.

Bedroom

A rug introduces warmth and softness underfoot. Position it two-thirds under the bed, allowing it to extend beyond the sides and foot.

• Queen: 240 × 330 cm
  
• King: 300 × 400 cm
  
• Runners: 80 × 300 cm each side
  

Tip: Extend at least 50 cm beyond each side for a layered, hotel-inspired look.

Dining Room

Your rug should sit fully beneath the table and chairs, even when chairs are pulled out.

• 6 Seater: 290 × 200 cm
  
• 8 Seater: 330 × 240 cm
  
• Round: 240 cm
  

Tip: Choose flatweave or washable styles for easy care and cleaning.

Outdoor

Define your alfresco area as you would indoors. Keep the front legs of outdoor furniture on the rug to frame the setting.

• Small: 160 × 230 cm
  
• Standard: 190 × 290 cm
  
• Large: 240 × 330 cm or 300 × 400 cm
  

Play Areas

Create a soft, comfortable base for play, rest and everyday living.

• Standard: 200 × 140 cm
  
• Large: 300 × 200 cm
  
• Round: 200 cm
  

Tip: Choose designs that blend beautifully with your home so they can stay out year-round.

An underlay is the quiet essential that enhances comfort underfoot, improves stability and helps extend the life of your rug.

By adding a layer beneath your rug, you create a more secure and cushioned foundation. It helps protect both your rug and floors from everyday wear.

Without an underlay, rugs can slip, bunch, or flatten over time. With the right underlay, everything feels more comfortable, stable, and considered.

Why invest in an underlay?

• Prevents slipping and movement
  
• Adds extra softness and support
  
• Protects floors from scratches and colour transfer
• Reduces wear to help your rug maintain its shape
• Improves insulation and sound absorption
  

Tip: Choose an underlay slightly smaller than your rug so it stays hidden while providing full support.

An often overlooked addition that enhances comfort, protection and longevity.
