Size guide
Which size suits your room?
A rug looks smaller on the floor than it does in your head. So rather go one size too large than too small: a Monroe should carry the seating area, not float in the middle of it. Choose a size below and see, to scale, how the rug sits in a room of 6.0 × 5.2 m.
All sizes side by side
To the same scale, next to a person of 1.75 m and a standard three-seater sofa of 220 cm.
Slide the rug 10 cm under the sofa, so that the front legs stand on it. Choose a width equal to the sofa or at most 20 cm shorter on each side: a rug that lies loose in front of the sofa makes the seating area look smaller.
A chair that is pushed back needs 60–70 cm. So add 70 cm to each side of the table top: for a table of 160 × 90 cm, 230 × 290 is enough. If your table needs more — 200 × 100 cm comes to roughly 340 × 240 cm — we make that rug on request.
Leave 30–45 cm of visible floor between rug and wall, and 60–90 cm for a walkway. The size is the outline within which the rug fits; because of the organic edge, the shape can deviate by up to 10 cm.
How to measure
- Measure the zone the rug should cover: the seating group, the bed, or the table with its chairs.
- Add 30 cm per side (65 cm for a dining table).
- Keep at least 30 cm of bare floor to the walls; a rug should not touch the skirting.
- Tape the outline on the floor with masking tape and live with it for a day. Still unsure? Send us a photo of the room and we will draw the size in.
