What size large rug do you need?
A large rug is usually anything from about 120 x 170 cm upwards. The right size depends on your furniture more than the room, so measure the seating or the bed first.
| Size | Living room | Bedroom | Dining room |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120 x 170 cm | Small lounge or snug; in front of a two-seater | Beside or at the foot of a single or double bed | Under a small round or bistro table |
| 150 x 200 cm | Under the coffee table with a two- or three-seater | Under the lower two-thirds of a double bed | Under a four-seat table in a compact room |
| 160 x 230 cm | Most UK living rooms: front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug | Under a double bed with space to step out onto | Under a four- to six-seat table |
| 200 x 290 cm | Corner sofas, larger lounges, open-plan zones | Under a king-size bed and bedside tables | Under a six- to eight-seat table |
| 240 x 340 cm | Very large or open-plan rooms with all furniture on the rug | Under a super king bed in a big room | Large tables with room to pull chairs out |
Three simple rules: leave 20 to 60 cm of bare floor between the rug and the walls; in a living room, get at least the front legs of every seat onto the rug; and under a dining table, allow about 60 cm beyond the table edge so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. For the biggest sizes, see extra large rugs.
Large rugs by room
Living room. A large rug defines the seating area and makes a lounge feel finished. Most homes suit 160 x 230 cm, while open-plan spaces and corner sofas need 200 x 290 cm or more. Browse large living room rugs.
Bedroom. Laid under the lower two-thirds of the bed, a large rug gives you a soft landing on both sides. For a double, 150 x 200 or 160 x 230 cm works; for a king, choose 200 x 290 cm. See large bedroom rugs.
Hall and landing. For long, narrow spaces, a runner works better than a wide rug. Our 80 x 300 cm runners cover a long hall, and many designs come in matching runner and room sizes. Find them in hallway runners.
Choose your style
| Range | Look | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Folklore | Washed vintage traditional patterns in faded tones | Period living rooms, dining rooms |
| Heirloom | Distressed vintage Persian-style, floral and abstract designs with a soft sheen | Relaxed traditional and eclectic rooms |
| Hampton | Classic traditional patterns | Formal lounges, studies |
| Groove and Sculpt | Carved fluffy shaggy and 3D carved shaggy textures | Bedrooms, family lounges, anywhere you want softness |
| Loft | Modern abstract patterns | Contemporary and open-plan spaces |
| Facet | Scandi geometric designs | Light, minimal rooms with pale floors |
| Alfresco | Flatweave outdoor patterns | Patios, conservatories, garden rooms |
The Persian and oriental designs in our traditional ranges are Persian-style: machine-made reproductions of classic patterns, not genuine Persian rugs. You get the look of a big traditional rug at a far gentler price than an antique.
Colour on a big scale
A large rug covers a lot of floor, so its colour sets the tone of the room. Cream, beige and grey make a calm backdrop and help a room feel bigger. Blue, navy and terracotta add warmth and depth, especially against white walls. Multicolour and patterned designs are forgiving in busy family rooms because they hide everyday marks. If you love the look of a light rug, see large grey rugs and our cream and beige designs.
Looking after a large rug
Large rugs arrive rolled, so unroll yours and give it a day or two to settle flat; reverse-rolling any curled corners helps. On hard floors, a good rug underlay keeps it in place and adds comfort. Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a beater bar, and rotate the rug every few months so it wears and fades evenly. Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth, then spot clean with cold water and a little mild detergent. For a deep clean, use a professional rug cleaner.
Large Rugs rugs: your questions answered
What size rug should I get for my living room?
Most UK living rooms suit a 160 x 230 cm rug, which sits under the coffee table with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on it. For a corner sofa or open-plan room, choose 200 x 290 cm or larger. A smaller lounge with a two-seater works well with 120 x 170 or 150 x 200 cm.
What is the difference between a large and an extra large rug?
We call rugs from 120 x 170 cm to 160 x 230 cm large, and 200 x 290 cm and 240 x 340 cm extra large. Large rugs suit most lounges and double bedrooms, while extra large rugs are for open-plan spaces, corner sofas and king or super king beds.
What size rug goes under a king-size bed?
A 200 x 290 cm rug placed under the lower two-thirds of a king-size bed leaves a generous border on both sides and at the foot. For a double bed, 160 x 230 cm is usually enough.
Can a large rug zone an open-plan room?
Yes. A large rug under the sofa and coffee table marks out the living area, and a second rug under the dining table defines the eating space. Choose rugs in related colours so the room still feels connected.
Can I use a large rug with underfloor heating?
Usually, yes. Pair the rug with an underlay made for underfloor heating, and check your heating manufacturer's guidance first. On any hard floor, an underlay also helps keep a big rug flat and in place.
How do I clean a large rug?
Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a beater bar, and rotate the rug every few months for even wear. Blot spills at once with a clean white cloth, then spot clean with cold water and a little mild detergent. For deep cleaning, use a professional rug cleaner.
Is delivery free on large rugs, and can I return one?
Yes. Every large rug comes with free UK mainland delivery, however big the size. If it does not suit your room, you have free 14-day returns.
