Frequently Asked Questions
What size is considered a large rug?
Large rugs are designed to cover a substantial area of the floor and help bring furniture together within a room. Exact dimensions vary between products, so measure your space carefully and check the listed size before ordering.
Which rooms are large rugs best suited to?
Large rugs work particularly well in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and open-plan spaces. They can help define different areas, add warmth underfoot and create a more balanced furniture arrangement.
How should a large rug be positioned in a living room?
Ideally, a large living room rug should connect the main seating rather than sit separately in the centre. Depending on the room, the sofa and chairs can sit fully on the rug or have their front legs positioned on it.
Can a large rug be used under a dining table?
Yes. A large rug can define a dining area and protect the flooring beneath it. Choose a size that extends far enough beyond the table for the chairs to remain on the rug when they are pulled out.
What size rug should I choose for under a bed?
The right size depends on the bed and room dimensions. A large rug can sit beneath the bed with a comfortable border visible at the sides and foot, or it can begin partway down the bed to provide softness where you step.
Can a large rug make a room look smaller?
A rug that is too small is often more likely to make a room feel disjointed. A well-proportioned large rug can make the space appear more cohesive by visually connecting the furniture and creating a clearly defined area.
Are large handwoven rugs suitable for busy homes?
Yes, provided the rug’s construction and materials are appropriate for the level of use. For living rooms and other busy spaces, consider durability, ease of care and how the rug will respond to children, pets and frequent foot traffic.
Do large rugs need a rug underlay?
A suitable underlay is often recommended, especially on smooth flooring. It can help reduce movement, provide additional cushioning and protect both the rug and the floor beneath it.
How do I clean and care for a large rug?
Vacuum the rug regularly using a setting suitable for its pile and deal with spills promptly according to the care guidance. Rotating the rug periodically can encourage even wear, while delicate handwoven pieces may benefit from professional cleaning.
Can I view large rugs before buying?
Yes. Customers can visit the Dorchester showroom to view available large rugs and receive guidance on sizing, placement, colours and design. It is advisable to contact Rugs of Dorset before travelling if you want to see a particular rug.
