Insider Tip:

To find the right size rug always begin by measuring the space. All our rug dimensions can be found in the product descriptions online.

Rugs ground your space, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they should fill your room. Try to leave at least a 30cm gap between the edge of your rug and your walls. For small rooms, cluster your furniture around the borders of your rug, with two of the legs of your largest pieces (e.g., sofa, bed) sitting on it. For large rooms, create a zone by choosing a rug large enough to hold all your furniture.
