Cadrys Area Rug Sizing Guide
For Living Rooms, Dining Spaces, Bedrooms & Beyond
A rug enhances architecture, anchors interiors, and adds to every room. Our handwoven collections, whether traditional, modern, or bespoke, are meant to be styled flawlessly. Choosing the right size is as important as choosing the right rug.
Explore our rug sizing guide for every key space in the home.
LIVING ROOM: Elegance from the Ground Up
All major furniture pieces should sit fully or partially on the rug for maximum visual harmony.
Recommended Sizes:
- Medium living rooms: 300x400cm, 270x360cm
- Grand living rooms: 350x450cm, 400x600cm
Cadrys Tip: Large rugs amplify the sense of scale and symmetry—key hallmarks of design. Don’t undersize; instead, let the rug command the space.
DINING ROOM: Framed in Style
The rug should extend at least 70cm beyond the edges of the table, so chairs remain on the rug, when pulled out.
Recommended Sizes:
- 6-seater table: 250x350cm
- 8–10-seater table: 300x400cm
- 12+ seater or custom layout: 350x450cm, bespoke sizing available
Cadrys Tip: Dining rugs must combine beauty with practicality—opt for textural weaves or low-pile silks that are easy to maintain and stunning underfoot.
BEDROOM: Wrapped in Warmth
Frame the bed with a rug that extends generously beyond the sides and foot.
Recommended Sizes:
- Queen bed: 270x360cm or 300x400cm
- King bed: 300x400cm, 350x450cm
- Layering option: Runners at both sides or a large rug beneath
Cadrys Tip: Larger rugs elevate bedrooms from restful to resplendent. Think of it as couture for the floor.
STUDY OR LIBRARY: Understated Sophistication
Create focus without crowding—choose a rug that defines the desk area while complementing built-ins and bookcases.
Recommended Sizes:
- Small study: 200x300cm
- Spacious home office: 270x360cm, 300x400cm
Cadrys Tip: Invest in hand-knotted rugs for timeless beauty and durability in well-used workspaces.
RUMPUS / FAMILY ROOM: Practical Comfort
Cover the high-traffic zone with plush durability—opt for size and softness.
Recommended Sizes:
- Versatile: 270x360cm, 300x400cm
- Large family spaces: 350x450cm or custom
Cadrys Tip: Large rugs reduce echo, define zones, and provide safe, soft ground for children—without sacrificing style.
HALLWAYS & TRANSITIONS: Walk in Beauty
Runners should leave space on either side—never wall-to-wall.
Recommended Sizes:
- Standard: 80x300cm, 80x400cm, custom runners available
Cadrys Tip: Choose rugs with intricate detail for hallways—they reward closer inspection and stand up to foot traffic.
