Choosing traditional and vintage-style rugs

Traditional and vintage-style rugs draw on Persian, Oriental and classic European designs, with medallions, borders and faded colourways. Distressed and overdyed looks blend well with modern furniture as well as period homes. The intricate patterns are very good at hiding spills and wear.

Is 120 x 170 cm the right size?

A 120 x 170 cm rug measures roughly 3 ft 11 in by 5 ft 7 in and covers about 2.0 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 1.8 x 2.3 m to 2.4 x 2.9 m. Its 170 cm length sits comfortably in front of a sofa up to about 140 cm wide (allowing about 15 cm of rug beyond each end). 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.

Care and cleaning

The care instructions given by the makers of these rugs include: "Spot clean only" (2 designs); "Spot clean or vacuum regularly" (1 design); "Machine washable at 30 degrees" (1 design). Vacuum regularly, ideally with a suction-only head or with the beater bar raised for deeper piles, and blot spills straight away from the outside in rather than rubbing. Always follow the care label on the product page, and test any cleaner on a hidden corner first. It is usually lighter and more affordable than wool and does not shed in the same way, but the pile can flatten in heavy traffic over time.

What are traditional rugs in 120 x 170 cm made from?
