Rug Size Guide
This Rug Size Guide summary is developed by RugSpot to help you choose the right rug.
How Do I choose the right Size?
The size of the rug will depend on the room and the way you’d like to set it.
Living Room – Consider the rug in relation to the furniture around it as it will affect what parts of the rug you will be able see. There are three to fit a rug in a room.
RugSpot carries the largest collection for any living space
Dining Room – For dining room you’d want to have the rug that covers the table and the chairs. The rug needs to be big enough so that the chairs are pulled in and out on the rug. To do this you need to measure the length and width of the table.
Next pull out a chair as if you are going to sit on it and measure the distance between the back of the chair and the table. Double up this distance and add it to both length and width of the table to get an approximate size for the rug you’ll need.
Example:
Dining Table – Length 2.00 Meter, Width 1.0 Meter
Chair and the distance allowed for sitting on it, say 0.75 Meter
Approx Rug – Length 2.00+2 x0.75 = 3.50 Meters, Width 1.0+0.75×2 = 2.50 Metres
Tip: If your rug is too narrow or too short, chairs legs will fall off the rug and you’ll have difficulty pushing the chair back towards the table. Repeating this may also scratch your floor.
