Rug Size Guide
Choosing the right rug size makes a bigger difference to how a room looks and feels than almost any other decision. This guide covers our most popular rectangular and round sizes, with a rough room-size guide for each, so you can shop with confidence. All rugs are shipped Australia-wide.
How to measure before you buy
Measure the floor area you want the rug to cover, then leave a border of bare floor around the edge (roughly 20-30cm is a good rule of thumb for living and dining spaces). For a rug under a sofa, aim for at least the front legs of your furniture to sit on the rug so it feels anchored rather than floating.
