At 3.68 m², this size can pull together a small seating area or a double bed and still leave floor showing all round, even in a room of about 12 m². A 160 x 230 cm rug (about 5ft 3in x 7ft 7in) is available in almost every material we stock. That ranges from flat cotton kilims to deep shaggy polyester.
160x230 Rug in the Living Room
Laid across the front of a three-seater, it takes the front sofa feet while the coffee table stands in the middle. The seating area then reads as one unit. Some texture suits it here, such as beige jute or wool with a fuller pile. Our wool rugs hold more designs, and there are further ideas under rugs for the living room.
A beige rug in 160 x 230 cm goes with light parquet as well as dark tiles. Want it softer? A shaggy rug in 160 x 230 cm lets your feet sink right in.
Under the Bed
Below a 140 cm bed, this size lies across the lower two thirds. Each morning you step onto the rug on both sides rather than onto a cold floor. Viscose with its short pile is a soft choice for a bedroom.
Where Children Play
In a child's room it becomes a large play area in the middle of the floor. A flat cotton kilim has one real advantage. Building blocks stay upright and toy cars roll.
With a Corner Sofa
A corner sofa, a 180 cm bed or a dining table for six makes it tight. If space is short anyway, a 140 x 200 cm rug is the smaller step. With a square table in the room, a 200 x 200 cm rug fits better.
Round tables and round armchairs call for a softer shape. Several jute rugs come as ovals in this size, and our round rugs do without corners entirely.
