Rug Size Guide

TIPS FOR MEASURING

• Measure the size of the entire room (twice) so as you can immediately eliminate some of the unsuitable sizes
• Decide on the area of the floor you would like to cover (i.e. in front of the fireplace, between two sofas, centre of the hallway, side of the bed or the entire room)
• Measure the broadest points of this area and find the closest standard rug sizes available to your measurement and;
• Lastle use a folded sheet or a few old newspapers arranged together to get a physical feel for the size of your chosen rug on the floor or alternatively mark out the edges with masking tape and leave it for a few days to see how that size works for you.
• Hint - If you decide to cover the entire floor with a new rug consider leaving a 12" to 15" border of floor exposed at each end to highlight your new rug and stop it looking like carpet.
