Rug 140x200 cm
2.8 square metres. A rug of 140 x 200 cm (about 4ft 7in x 6ft 7in) covers exactly that, enough for a seating corner, a single bed or the space under a desk. Over 200 designs come in this size. Almost all are rectangular, seven are oval. Wool and synthetic fibre are level with each other, followed by cotton and jute, while viscose is rarer.

In front of the sofa and by the bed
A rug 140x200 lies crosswise in front of a three-seater up to about 220 cm wide, with the coffee table in the middle. So it suits compact sofas. With a corner sofa things get tight, and a 160x230 rug looks more balanced. In a reading corner a 120x170 rug is often all you need.
Laid across the lower half of a 90 cm single bed, it shows 25 cm on each side. Enough for warm feet in the morning. If one long side of the bed is free, lay it lengthways there instead and step out onto it along its full length. More ideas around the bed are among our bedroom rugs.
Which material for a children's room?
For playing, flat cotton kilims work well. Building blocks stand up straight on them. Crumbs vacuum away quickly. If the children sit on the floor a lot, wool with a fuller pile is softer. More designs are among our kids rugs.
Oval 140x200 rugs and colours
An oval jute design picks up the shape of an oval table or a sofa with rounded arms. Seven designs have this shape, with either a short or a fuller pile. For an almost square room, a 200x200 rug is the alternative.
Red and cream are the most common colours in 140 x 200 cm, with beige close behind. Pale shades make small rooms look larger. Grey rugs in 140 x 200 cm are well covered too, with 15 designs plus 10 in light grey. The sisal-look designs in this size are woven from 80 % jute and 20 % cotton and have a nubbed back.
