✧ Size & Fitting Guide

Selecting the right rug size is as much about proportion as it is about presence. In this guide, our design specialists share timeless principles of placement — helping you anchor your space with confidence. Once the foundation is set, you’re free to focus on the artistry: colour, texture, and form.

✧Positioning & Balance

The size of your space doesn't always dictate the size of your rug. Instead, consider the placement of your furniture and the flow of the room. A well-sized rug has the power to unify key pieces — anchoring the space with intention. In open-plan layouts, rugs can also be used to define zones and bring balance to asymmetrical arrangements. Our design team is always available to guide you through the ideal configuration for your interior.

✧Size & Comfort

Every Kover Co. rug is a tactile experience — designed to be felt as much as seen. For the full underfoot luxury, ensure there's ample rug coverage beyond furniture edges, whether you're styling a bedroom, hallway, or sitting area. A generous layout enhances both comfort and visual harmony.

✧Borders & Patterns

Rugs with borders lend a classic, grounded aesthetic — ideal for defining formal spaces. In contrast, edge-to-edge patterns feel more contemporary and expansive, adding energy and ease. The style you choose can subtly shift the mood of your room, whether you’re seeking refinement or relaxed fluidity.

✧Standard & Custom Sizing
 
We offer a curated selection of standard sizes — including rectangular, runner, and round formats. For those seeking something more tailored, our custom rug service allows for made-to-measure dimensions and silhouettes to suit your space perfectly.

✧Living Room A✧


When thoughtfully chosen, a rug becomes the grounding element of the living space. If budget allows, we recommend selecting a size generous enough to accommodate the key furniture pieces within its borders. This creates a harmonious sense of cohesion — visually pulling the room together. Rugs that are too small can feel disconnected from the space, diminishing the overall balance and flow.

In more compact spaces, the illusion of scale can be achieved by placing the rug so it extends partially beneath surrounding furniture. This approach works beautifully with borderless, contemporary designs, where the pattern flows seamlessly to the edge — creating a sense of openness and understated elegance.

To let the rug stand as a distinct design feature, consider sizing it just beyond the furniture it frames — allowing the edges to extend slightly longer and wider than the pieces beside it. This subtle margin creates a sense of visual generosity and equilibrium, inviting flow and focus into the space.

For L-shaped sofas, the rug should sit comfortably beneath both sections — either fully or at least halfway under the frame. This ensures balance and cohesion. A small rug placed only within the L can feel disconnected and diminish the presence of the seating arrangement.

Position the rug beneath the bed, extending just past the foot and stopping before the bedside tables. This placement creates a balanced frame and offers a soft, warm surface to step onto each morning — a quiet detail that enhances everyday comfort.

bedside runners offer a tailored alternative in the bedroom. when placing a pair, ensure each rug is atleast as wide as the bedside tables and runs the full length of the bed  creating symmetry and softness on either side.

For smaller rugs, place the piece perpendicularly at the foot of the bed. This simple arrangement adds warmth and structure without overwhelming the space — a subtle way to anchor the room.

✧Dining Room✧

Under a dining table, a rug should extend far enough to allow chairs to glide smoothly — without catching on the edge. As a guide, choose a rug that is at least 5 feet wider than the table in both length and width. This ensures comfort, balance, and visual ease.

Custom shapes often complement round tables beautifully. As with rectangular layouts, allow at least 5 feet of rug beyond the table’s edge to ensure chairs remain comfortably on the rug, even when pulled out — preserving both functionality and flow.
