Rugs approx. 200 × 250 cm
A near-square proportion, and the format to look at when a room is itself roughly square or when a seating group is arranged around a corner rather than in a line. The extra width over a 170 × 240 means the front legs of a longer sofa and both armchairs stand comfortably on the carpet.
It is also the smallest size that reads as generous in an open-plan room, where the rug has to draw the boundary that the missing walls do not.
At a glance
