A 50 x 80 cm rug measures roughly 1 ft 8 in by 2 ft 7 in and covers about 0.4 square metres. This is a small rug size. It suits beside a bed, in front of a fireplace or sink, inside a front door or as an accent in a reading corner. As a guideline it is too small to anchor a sofa grouping, which normally needs a rug at least as long as the sofa is wide.

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.
