Rugs by size

The 12 standard rug sizes stocked deepest on Amazon.co.uk, grouped by footprint. Every UK room has a size grammar – pick from these and the rug will find a legitimate home.

The one rule that fixes 80% of size mistakes: measure the furniture, not the room. A 200 × 290 rug is right for a room only when the sofa or bed within it is right for that rug.

Frequently asked questions

How do UK rug sizes compare to US sizes?

UK is metric (cm), US is imperial (feet). Rough equivalents: 160 × 230 ≈ 5' × 7'; 200 × 290 ≈ 7' × 10'; 240 × 340 ≈ 8' × 11'. Always confirm the cm figure on the Amazon.co.uk listing.

Which size covers the most cases?

200 × 290 cm – fits a standard UK sitting room with a 3+2 sofa, a king bedroom (lower two-thirds), and a 4- to 6-seat dining. It is the deepest-stocked size on Amazon.co.uk across every style.

When should I go up a size instead of down?

Always. An oversized rug reads intentional; an undersized rug reads like a mistake. The one exception is a dining rug – an oversized rug beyond the chair sweep hides the room's proportions.
