Choose a size
When choosing a rug, many people are unsure of the size it will be when laid out in their room and are troubled.
The shopkeeper says, "This size rug is for this size room," but is that really true? I'm a little unsure...
I totally understand how you feel!
I'm also the type of person who doesn't trust store clerks very much.
You'll want to see it laid out and see what it's actually like.
So, this time we actually laid out rugs of various sizes in the homes of Layout staff members and compared the size of the rugs.
This time, we'll look at a three-seater sofa .
Rather than deciding on the size of the rug based on the size of your room, compare the size and usability when combined with other items in the room.
Look at photos of rugs actually laid out in rooms and find the size and way of laying the rug that suits your lifestyle.
The sofa you see on the right measures W180cm x D78cm.
The one in the photo is a three-seater, but most two-seater sofas are this size.
Stability and balance
The first rug that was paired with this sofa was a size called "Dozar" (L200cm x W140cm).
This is the "perfect size" commonly used in the interior design industry for living rooms.
The legs of the sofa fit snugly into the rug, creating a nice balance. You can choose to place your feet on the rug or not.
If you're unsure about which size to choose, this is the one to choose.
Make the most of your comfort
Next, we tried a rug that was a size larger, which the shop calls "Parde" (L250cm x W170cm).
You can see that you can use the space in front of the sofa more widely than with the Dozar. This size is great for parties with a large group of people. This size is recommended for people who often sit on the floor.
Accent size
Lastly, here is this one. It is called "Charak" and is two sizes smaller than the first Dozar (L120cm x W80cm).
This size increases the visible floor area, creating a cleaner impression. It is recommended for those who want to show off their flooring or use a rug as a small accent.
By the way, here's how to lay it out, specifically for this size...
You can lay the rug however you like
Diagonal orientation is also possible. Just by making it diagonal, you can create depth in the space.
What do you think? We hope you will use this as a reference when choosing a rug.
Let's think about it together at the store.
When you visit our store, we recommend bringing along the colors and materials of your current items, the sizes of the items you want to place in your room and around the rug, and photos of your current room. This will give you a more concrete image of what the rug will look like, making your rug selection process more enjoyable.
