How to Choose the Right Size Modern Carpet?

\n

Choosing the right size carpet is crucial for achieving the desired aesthetic and functionality. Here are some tips:

\n
    \n
  • For living rooms, opt for larger sizes like 160×230 cm or 200×290 cm to cover a significant area.
    • \n
  • In smaller spaces, a 60×110 cm rug can highlight a specific area without overwhelming the room.
    • \n
  • Consider the size of the furniture; the carpet should ideally extend under all major pieces.
    • \n
  • For dining areas, ensure the carpet is large enough for chairs to remain on it when pulled out.
    • \n
  • Round rugs, such as a 150 cm diameter, work well under round tables or in smaller seating areas.
