At DFL Asia, we specialize in handmade rugs and carpets, crafted with precision and heritage to elevate every space—be it a luxury home, a corporate interior, or even a compact studio. Choosing the right rug size and rug type isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about function, proportion, and making a statement. In this post, we break down everything you need to know about rug sizes, popular types, and even explore new categories like keyboard rugs for a modern touch.
Common Rug & Carpet Sizes and How to Choose the Right One
Rugs come in various sizes, each tailored for specific rooms and design needs. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right size for every space:
1. Small Rugs (2’x3’, 3’x5’)
- Ideal for entryways, beside beds, or small reading corners.
- They add a pop of texture without overwhelming the area.
2. Medium Rugs (5’x7’, 6’x9’)
- Perfect for bedrooms, home offices, and dining areas.
- In living rooms, place them under the coffee table with at least the front legs of the furniture touching the rug.
3. Large Rugs (8’x10’, 9’x12’ and up)
- Great for open-plan living, large lounges, or formal dining rooms.
- All key furniture pieces can sit atop the rug, tying the room together.
4. Custom Sizes
- At DFL Asia, we offer bespoke sizing to suit your architectural requirements—whether for a hotel lobby, banquet hall, or exhibition space.
