Once the footprint is right, use these answers to settle material, padding, pets, care and arrival.
Large rooms
All furniture on
Place the whole seating group on the rug for the calmest, most cohesive result.
Vorug sizing advice
Size and fitting guide
Choose your room, compare the layouts, then measure the space as it is actually used. If the proportions are unusual, we can help.
Choose a seating layout
Living room
Match the rug to the furniture arrangement. Start with the option that looks most like your room.
Medium rooms
Front legs on
Rest every front leg on the rug, keeping the overlap consistent across the seating group.
Small rooms
Float with purpose
Keep the rug wider than the coffee table and centre the gaps around it.
Sectional sofas
Work with an L-shape
Align the rug with both runs of the sectional—not only the corner.
Choose where the rug lands
Bedroom
Aim for a comfortable landing beside the bed, then decide how much of the bed the rug should anchor.
Most bedrooms
Under the bed
Start below the bedside tables and extend the rug beyond both sides and the foot.
Narrow rooms
Bedside runners
Run matching rugs beside the bed from the bedside tables toward the foot.
Accent placement
Across the foot
Choose a rug wider than the mattress and centre it across the foot.
Allow for moving chairs
Dining room
Keep every chair fully on the rug—even when it is pulled out.
Key measurement
Rectangular tables
Allow 60–75cm beyond every table edge so pulled-back chairs stay on the rug.
Shape rule
Round tables
Match the table with a round rug, or use a square for contrast. Keep the border even.
Follow the architecture
Hallways and custom shapes
Keep doors and turns clear. Use a custom outline when a standard rectangle fights the space.
Runners
Hallways
Centre the runner, leave an even floor border, and stop clearly before doors or stairs.
Irregular rooms
Custom outlines
Follow curves and angles with a made-to-measure outline instead of forcing a rectangle.
Professional measure
Stairs
Stairs need an individual measure for width, turns, landings, and installation.
Before you order
Measure in four moves
Map the room, test it in use, then mark the rug before you commit.
-
01
Map the room
Mark walls, doors and fixed features.
-
02
Set it in use
Open doors and pull every chair out.
-
03
Tape the outline
Mark all four rug edges on the floor.
-
04
Walk the routes
Check clear paths and final proportions.
Start with the furniture
Let the key furniture legs touch the rug so the room reads as one composition.
Leave a useful border
Keep visible floor around the rug, with soft surface where feet naturally land.
Test real movement
Check doors open, dining chairs pulled back, and the paths people actually walk.

The common mistake
Same room. Better footprint.
Common starting points
We have the size for any room.
5' × 8'
A compact anchor for reading corners, smaller living rooms or under a four-seat table.
8' × 10'
A versatile living-room size that can catch the front legs of a sofa and chairs.
10' × 14'
For generous rooms where the full furniture arrangement should sit comfortably on the rug.
Measure by room
The furniture decides the footprint.
Join the seating.
Let the rug connect the sofa and chairs. At minimum, the front legs of the main pieces should meet it.
Measure chairs in motion.
Pull every chair back as if someone is sitting down. The rug should still support all four legs.
Start where your feet land.
Let the rug extend beyond both sides and the foot of the bed. The reveal should feel deliberate, not incidental.
Leave the floor visible.
Keep an even border around the runner and check every door swing before choosing the final width and length.
