After several years of absence they return to our interiors, decorating them, creating a pleasant, cozy atmosphere and providing softness underfoot. We are of course talking about carpets. If you are planning to use one in your house or apartment you should check how to choose the right size of a carpet to make it look perfect!

When choosing a carpet for a living room, which is to be placed under the lounge furniture, you should pay attention that its width is bigger than the furniture at least 15 centimeters. This way it will stick out from under the furniture, provide comfort and look very good
In case of small living rooms, choosing a carpet under the sofa, instead of deciding on a model completely placed under it, you can bet on one that will be placed only under the front legs of the furniture. It will not overwhelm the interior and will not optically reduce it
In dining rooms, carpets will look best when placed under tables that are appropriately matched to their size. When it comes to the shape of the rug, it should also match the shape of the table

Knowing already how you can place the carpet in the interior, it is also worth knowing how to accurately measure its dimensions so that you can find the right model in the store.

Then you need to stick out with painter’s tape its target area. This way we will visually see if the assumed width and length of the carpet will be appropriate for the arrangement or if it needs some changes to make the whole thing look perfect
Although it may seem that the size of a carpet is an unimportant issue, taking into consideration that it has to be matched with the arrangement in terms of its pattern and color, its wrong size can have unpleasant effects on the comfort of its use
A rug that is too small can cause that
Excessively large carpets can give the impression of a carpet that blends with the ground and looks unsightly. That is why it is so important that before buying a carpet for the interior, carefully measure the place where it is to be located, so that it has the right size.
