 When it comes to buying a handmade rug, we all wonder about its size! What size mat do I need? How to measure the correct size of the carpet? And so on… The answer to all these questions is simple: read our guide below! Whether you're looking to buy a handmade square rug, round rug or rectangular rug, measuring the right size is essential, so read on to find out how.  
Handmade rugs are divided into four types based on size:

  • Small handmade rugs: are less than 9 feet long.
  • Rug Room Size: Lengths range from 9 to 15 feet.
  • Large hand-woven carpets: 15 to 20 feet long.
  • Extra wide mats - that's over 20 feet.

  1. Handmade living room rug

The right size of a handmade rug enhances any living space. You can buy a square rug on sale or choose a rectangular rug depending on your needs and the space available. When choosing a rug's pattern, color, and composition, carefully determine the size of the rug. Choose the largest size that fits the area to unify the space and create an open space. However, the size of the seating area in your living room can help you determine the size of the rug. A rug in the living room placed in front of or above the sofa and chairs can help define the seating area. Whether the legs of the sofa or the chairs rest on the carpet is entirely up to you and your furnishing style.

  1. Handmade dining room rug

 A dining room rug not only serves as a floor covering, but also provides a soothing feeling underfoot. This is usually done for aesthetic reasons or when you are looking for a rug to complement the decor and add a visual accent to the room. The legs of the dining table chairs should always stand on a handmade base. Even handmade carpets in the dining room should always match the table. The carpet must always emphasize the shape of the table; for example, if you have a round table, use a round rug, if you have a square dining table, hand-knotted square rugs. In addition, there should always be enough space on both sides of the table so that the chairs can be pulled out.

  1. Handmade bedroom rug

To make a hard-floor bedroom cozier, add warmth and softness to it. When someone gets out of bed, the rug should be underfoot and large enough to be placed under or near the bed and bedside tables. Another option is a set of handmade table runners on either side of the bed. It is very important to measure before purchasing a king size bed, queen size bed or single bed rug. The size of your bedroom rug is determined by the size of your bed. Handmade square rugs are usually placed under the bed, so think about how you want to place the rug in the bedroom. A handmade square rug is a good solution for your bedroom. You can buy round or square rugs online in the size you want. All you have to do is calculate the size and length of the area where you want to place your mat. Include side tables in the dimensions and add a few inches on each side for more space. Measure the length of the rug from where you want it to start under the bed to where you want it to end, adding at least a meter or two to the end of the bed.

  1. Handmade Hallway Rug

 The hallway is one of the most important places in the house and it's the place to make a good first impression on whoever walks in it. Therefore, having a runner that creates a welcoming environment and sets the tone for the rest of the home is extremely important. When it comes to choosing the right size of a handmade rug for your hallway, it gets a bit tricky because it's a place with furniture, but so important. Buy Now!
