Living Room, Bedroom & Hallway Rug Size Guide

Does the right rug size matter? YES. Because, even the most beautiful rug can feel out of place if the size isn't right.

Here's a simple guide to choosing the perfect rug size for your living room, bedroom, and hallway.

1. Living Room

Your living room rug should connect your furniture and create a balanced seating area.

✕ Too Small

A rug that sits only beneath the coffee table can make the furniture feel disconnected.

✓ Just Right

Choose a rug that extends beneath at least the front legs of your sofa and armchairs. This creates a more cohesive and inviting space.

Popular sizes: 160 × 230 cm, 200 × 300 cm, 250 × 350 cm.

2. Hallway

A hallway runner adds character, warmth, and texture to a space that's often overlooked.

✕ Too Small

A runner rug that's too short or too wide can disrupt the hallway's proportions.

✓ Just Right

Choose a runner rug that follows the hallway's length, leaving approximately 10–20 cm of visible flooring on each side.

Popular sizes: 80 × 200 cm, 80 × 300 cm, 80 × 400 cm.

3. Bedroom: Step Into Comfort

A bedroom rug should add warmth while extending far enough beyond the bed to be both comfortable and visually balanced.

✕ Too Small

A rug that's almost entirely hidden beneath the bed can make the space feel unfinished.

✓ Just Right

Position your rug beneath the bed, allowing approximately 50–70 cm to extend beyond the accessible sides. Alternatively, use two smaller runners on either side.

Popular sizes: 160 × 230 cm, 200 × 300 cm, 250 × 350 cm.
