Which rug size best suits your interior?

A rug brings warmth, ambiance, and unity to a space. However, choosing the right size proves difficult for many people. A rug that is too small looks messy, while a rug that is too large can make the room appear smaller.

In this guide, you'll discover the most common rug sizes in the Netherlands, for which spaces they are suitable, and which anti-slip mat fits with them.

Why is the correct rug size important?

The dimensions of a rug largely determine the look and feel of a room. A well-chosen rug ensures that furniture forms a cohesive unit and makes the room appear optically larger.

Additionally, a suitable anti-slip mat is important to prevent the rug from shifting or curling up.
