When shopping for carpets, it’s not just about the color, design, or texture—the rug size plays one of the most important roles in how your space looks and feels. At Zennova Carpet, we help customers across the UAE find rugs that bring comfort, elegance, and balance to their homes. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to select the right area rug size for every room.
Why Rug Size Matters
The right rug can make a room feel spacious, cozy, and stylish. A rug that’s too small makes the furniture look disconnected, while one that’s too large can overwhelm the space. Choosing the perfect rug size ensures your modern carpet ties the entire room together.
Standard Area Rug Sizes
Here are the most common rug sizes available when buying carpets online:
-
5x8 feet (150x240 cm) – Ideal for smaller rooms or under coffee tables.
-
6x9 feet (180x270 cm) – Works for mid-sized living spaces.
-
8x10 feet (240x300 cm) – One of the most popular rug sizes for living rooms and bedrooms.
-
9x12 feet (270x360 cm) – Perfect for large open spaces with multiple furniture arrangements.
-
Runners (2x8 feet, 60x240 cm) – Great for hallways, entrances, or kitchens.
Choosing the Right Rug by Room
Living Room Rugs
-
For a small living room, a 5x8 rug under the coffee table with front legs of sofas on the rug works well.
-
For medium and large rooms, go for 8x10 or 9x12 rugs so all seating fits neatly on top.
Dining Room Carpets
-
Your rug should extend at least 24 inches (60 cm) beyond the dining table on all sides.
-
Example: A table that seats six usually needs an 8x10 dining rug.
Bedroom Carpets
-
Queen Bed: Place an 8x10 rug under the bed so it extends on both sides.
-
King Bed: A 9x12 rug ensures enough coverage for nightstands and walking space.
-
Small Bedrooms: Add runner rugs on each side of the bed instead of a single large rug.
Hallways & Entryways
-
Use a runner carpet to guide the space and add warmth. Leave 3–5 inches of flooring visible on each side for balance.
Tips Before Buying Rugs Online
✔ Measure your space before buying—use masking tape to visualize where the rug will sit.
✔ Match your furniture layout so the rug connects pieces rather than floats.
✔ Define zones with rugs if you have an open floor plan (for example, separating the dining and living space).
