How big should a round rug be?
Round rugs are currently a big trend. They soften the look of an angular room and create a playful effect. But how big should a round rug be? Read on to choose the perfect size for a round rug.
How big should a round rug be in the seating area?
How big a round rug should be in the seating area depends on the size of the furniture, the space and the placement of the rug (in front of or under the sofa). When you place the rug under the front legs of the sofa, a round rug should be roughly as wide as the sofa. Depending on your personal preference and any other furniture that may partially stand on the rug, you can choose to go a size larger or smaller. With a sofa that is 190 cm wide, you can choose between a round rug 180 cm or 200 cm.
Combining a round rug with a corner sofa? By sliding the rug slightly under the sofa, it becomes part of the seating area and creates connection. In this case, you have two options. The roundness of the rug starts at the armrest and runs roughly through to the chaise longue. With a corner sofa of 275 cm (W) x 210 cm (D), you would come out to a round rug 200 cm or a 220 cm.
What size round rug under dining table
If you have a round table, the shape is further accentuated with a round rug underneath. The rule here is that the chairs must fit comfortably on the rug, even when pushed back. Keep a margin of at least 40–60 centimetres from the edge of the table.
What kind of table on a round rug?
A round table fits best on a round rug. The shapes complement each other nicely and create a balanced, symmetrical look. Choose a rug that is large enough so all chair legs stay on the rug as described above.
Can a rectangular table go on a round rug?
Yes, a rectangular table can work perfectly on a round rug, as long as the rug is large enough. The table will then sit nicely in the centre of the rug, creating a playful and modern contrast between shapes. Do choose a large round rug with plenty of margin (±70 cm all around).
Right size round rug in the bedroom
A round rug in the bedroom? For a soft landing when you get out of bed, consider a round rug that is large enough to extend on both sides of the bed. Allow for about 40 cm clearance on each side. With a double bed of 160 cm, a round rug 250 cm is a perfect option. Choosing to place the round rug under one of the legs? Then you'll have enough with a smaller size, such as for example a round rug 160 cm or 180 cm.
Round rugs; what size do I need?
A rug is the perfect way to define zones in your home. With a round rug you can create cosy corners, such as a reading nook or play area in the living room. Or give that lonely chair in the corner of the bedroom an upgrade with a small round rug underneath. Depending on the size of the room and any furniture, you'll often find a round rug 100 cm, 120 cm or 150 cm is enough.
Tip: Just like with rectangular rugs, it can be helpful to mark the shape and size of the desired round rug on the floor with painter's tape. This helps you get a visual idea before making your purchase.
