One of the benefits of carpet for the home is that it helps to define a space and defines boundaries. When you want to choose a Persian rug, you need to pay attention to the space you have to spread the rug, the furniture you want to put around or on it, and most importantly, the relationship and balance between the two. Standard sizes of machine-made carpets that have special dimensions due to the special sizes of the production machine; As you know, this is the case for three in four 12-meter rugs, three in two 6-meter rugs, two-in-three in three-and-a-half-meter rugs, and 1.5 in 2.25 for three- or four-meter rugs. However, rugs can have other dimensions and sizes, such as custom woven rugs, handmade rugs and meter rugs.

Since the size of the Persian carpet is largely related to the arrangement of furniture, before buying a rug, consider your home furniture, their dimensions and size, and how they are arranged.

For small to medium sized living rooms

A large Persian rug that fits all the furniture defines the area of ​​your living room in an open plan house. A six-meter rug is usually suitable for such a space to be behind the sofa at the edge of the rug.  

For large living rooms with open plan

If you have a larger space and the furniture is large, choose the carpet so that the front bases of the sofa are on the edge of the carpet and the carpet does not go under the sofa. This connects the sofa and rug to the defined living area and fills a large space without having to buy a larger rug. Usually 6 or 9-meter Persian carpet is enough for large spaces.

For L-shaped furniture, make sure that the longer length of the Persian carpet is in line with the length of the sofa. Place the sofa in the corner of a Persian rug.

The right size for large living room rugs

In a living room that has its own boundaries and is large, it is better to spread a special large carpet. In this space, all the furniture is on the Persian carpet and there is still a lot of space around it to move.

In a large living room, do not use a small Persian rug that looks like a floating island in the middle with furniture attached to the wall. In fact, this type of arrangement is not something we want to suggest.

Long and narrow living rooms

If your living space is long and narrow, you should also have a long sofa. In this case, your Persian carpet should cover the entire length of the long sofa. If we want to use standard size Persian carpets, usually 3 in 2 carpets work. Part of the width of the Persian carpet should be under the sofa. In such a case, you should not use a Persian carpet with symmetrical patterns and choose a simple and solid color Persian carpet.

The correct size of the dining hall Persian carpet

Because in most houses, a specific space plan is not allocated to the dining room, and especially in open and large plan spaces, a Persian carpet can define your dining area and separate the dining room from the kitchen and living room, the spaces next to it. To do this, simply choose a Persian rug that fits snugly over the dining table and chairs. 

The most important and main point that you should keep in mind in this case is that the  Persian carpet around the chairs should be such that it does not come out of the  Persian carpet after pulling out the chairs and is still on the  Persian carpet. That is, to spread the Persian carpet under the table and dining chair, consider the movement space for the chairs. When the chairs are under the table, at least 50 cm from the rear legs of the chair should be around the Persian carpet.

Round dining table

Round Persian carpet is very suitable and stylish for round dining table. The previous rule also applies to how much space we should have on the Persian carpet when we take the chair out.

Master bedroom

Persian Carpet is one of the best choices for bedroom flooring because in addition to being modern and stylish, it creates a softer and more comfortable atmosphere. The size of the Persian rug that you spread in the bedroom depends a lot on the size of the room, especially the space that remains under the bed.

You need a Persian rug that starts at the front of the bedside table and extends at least 50 cm around it. Usually a 6-meter Persian rug is the best choice for a space similar to the one with a bed with the same standard dimensions.
