280 x 380 cm in feet and metres
| Measurement | Value |
|---|---|
| Width | 280 cm (9 ft 2 in, 2.80 m) |

A 280 x 380 cm rug measures roughly 9 ft 2 in by 12 ft 6 in and covers about 10.6 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 3.4 x 4.4 m to 4.0 x 5.0 m. Its 380 cm length sits comfortably in front of a sofa up to about 350 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, UK king or UK super king bed. Under a dining table, allowing the usual 60 cm on every side for chairs, it suits a table up to about 160 x 260 cm.

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.
