It's possible to say that rugs are one of the most essential complementary pieces that add warmth to home decoration. Therefore, the design of the rug you choose should create harmony with the overall decoration of your room, and the rug sizes should also be appropriate for the size of the room.
Additionally, it's important to emphasize that rug placement is just as important as furniture placement in interior decorations. So, how can you determine the most suitable rug sizes for your home? What key points should you consider when placing your rugs?
As a member of the Doğtaş family, the address for style and harmony at home, in this article, we examine the crucial questions you need to answer before buying a new rug for your home. So, without further ado, let's answer the first question: how to determine rug sizes.
If you want to create a visually stunning, stylish living space for yourself and your family, there are some important steps you need to take into consideration. As you know, choosing the right rug that suits the general ambiance of the house and the size of the room is as important as choosing furniture in decoration.
Because using rugs that fit the size of different areas like the bedroom, kitchen, living room, and even the bathroom makes home decoration even more impressive. So, how are rug sizes accurately calculated?
If you are unsure how to calculate rug sizes and are worried about choosing the most suitable rug for your home, you're in the right place. Here are techniques to help you calculate the most suitable rug sizes for your home!
Let's first note that rug sizes are generally calculated in square meters. Before you go rug shopping, you can calculate the square meter of an existing rug in your home to get an idea of the size of the new rug you should buy.
First, you need to measure the width and length of the rug in your home. The number you get by multiplying the width and length is the square meter size of the rug. If the rug in your home isn't very old, you can also check the label on the back for its dimensions.
On the other hand, if there is no rug in the room, the way to determine the best rug sizes for this area is to calculate the base measurements of the furniture in the room. After deciding on the furniture placement and measuring the room's length and width, you can prepare a layout plan to decide on the size of the rug you need to purchase.
Some of the popular rug models recently for those who want to decorate their homes in a modern way are round and oval rugs. However, as you might guess, the way of calculating the dimensions of these rug models is a bit different from square and rectangular rugs.
Since the width and height of round rugs are the same, taking the measurement of just one of them will suffice. By multiplying the diameter of a round rug by itself, you can determine its square meter size.
Although there are many different variables in determining rug sizes, some brands manufacture rugs in standard sizes that fit in every home. So what are these sizes?
The sizes of rugs used in the kitchen can vary depending on the size of the kitchen, the placement of the kitchen cabinets, and the size of the furniture in the kitchen.

Additionally, a single large rug can be placed under the bed.
