Rug and floor covering size guide
Find the right fit for your space
The right rug size brings a space together - defining zones, adding warmth, and creating visual balance. Use this simple tips to help you choose the right proportions for your home.
Area Rug
An area rug helps define open spaces like living or dining zones. Choose a size that allows all major furniture pieces to sit fully on the rug - or, if your sofa sits against a wall, place the rug halfway underneath to visually connect the space.

Hall Runner
Designed to protect high-traffic areas and add texture to transitional spaces, hall runners should sit comfortably down the centre of your hallway, leaving a border of floor visible along both sides.
If you have timber or polished concrete in good condition, let a little of it show - the contrast enhances both the flooring and the runner.
Tip: Always check that door clearances suit your choosen runner height.

Dining Area
To get the sizing right, pull out each chair as if someone were about to sit down and measure roughly 5 - 10 cm beyond the back legs. This ensures chairs stay comfortably on the rug when pulled out, avoiding curled edges or uneven wear.
Textural Layering
Layering smaller rugs adds depth and softness to any space - perfect for reading corners, entryways or under accent furniture.
Choose a rug that's proportional to the area and keep it centred for balance.
Play with contrast in weave or tone to create interest without clutter.
