A 180 x 240 cm rug measures roughly 5 ft 11 in by 7 ft 10 in and covers about 4.3 square metres. In a living room, a common guideline is to leave 30 to 60 cm of floor between the rug and the walls, which suggests a room of roughly 2.4 x 3.0 m to 3.0 x 3.6 m. Its 240 cm length sits comfortably in front of a sofa up to about 210 cm wide (allowing about 15 cm of rug beyond each end). Placed across the lower two-thirds of a bed, it leaves at least 40 cm of rug on each side of a UK double or UK king bed. It is generally too small to sit under a dining table with the chairs, which needs about 60 cm of rug beyond the table on every side.

Which rooms suit this size

Before ordering, mark the rug outline on the floor with masking tape or newspaper and live with it for a day. It is the quickest way to check walkways, door swings and how much floor shows around the edges.

Checks before you buy

  • Measure the room and the furniture, not just the floor space you can see.
  • Check door clearance: deeper piles can catch the bottom of a door.
  • Allow for an underlay on smooth floors; it adds grip and a few millimetres of height.
  • Maker sizes can vary by a few centimetres from the nominal size, especially on handmade rugs, so check the product page.
