Measure the room, not the rug
Before looking at any specific rug, measure the actual floor space you're placing it in and the furniture around it. A rug should relate directly to what's already in the room — the edge of a sofa, the legs of a bed, the reach of a dining chair pulled fully out — not just fill an empty rectangle of floor.
Living room
The rule that holds up in practice: every seat facing into the seating area should have at least its front legs resting on the rug. For a typical living room arrangement, that usually means 250 × 300cm or larger. Undersized is the single most common living room mistake — a rug that only reaches the coffee table looks like an afterthought once furniture is arranged around it.
Bedroom
Extend the rug 45–60cm beyond each side of the bed frame, so your feet land on wool getting up from either side. For a queen or king bed, that typically means a rug in the 250 × 300cm range or larger; for a single or double, 200 × 250cm can be enough.
Dining room
Size for the chairs pulled fully out, not just the table. As a working measure, go 70–90cm larger than the table on every side — enough that no chair leg comes off the rug even mid-meal, when everyone's pushed back from the table at once.
Entryway & hallway
These call for a runner rather than a standard rectangle — width to comfortably fit the passage without touching either wall, length to suit the space available. Tiziri's runner format spans 2.5 × 8 ft up to 3 × 14 ft.
- Living room: 250 × 300cm or larger
- Bedroom: extend 45–60cm beyond each side of the bed
- Dining room: 70–90cm larger than the table on every side
- Entryway / hallway: runner format, sized to the passage
"Tape down the actual footprint on your floor before ordering — painter's tape and ten minutes will tell you more than any size chart."
How Tiziri's made-to-order sizing works
Most pieces in the catalogue are woven to order, and every product page for those pieces lists a full size table rather than a single fixed size:
| Standard sizes | Runner sizes |
|---|---|
| 5 × 7 ft | 2.5 × 8 ft |
| 6 × 9 ft | 2.5 × 10 ft |
| 8 × 10 ft | 2.5 × 12 ft |
| 9 × 12 ft | 3 × 12 ft |
| 10 × 14 ft | 3 × 14 ft |
The photo on each product page shows the rug as woven at one reference size, but any size on that rug's table can be ordered — message us to confirm the exact size and price before ordering. See our pricing guide for what each size actually costs.

Shop by SizeThe bottom line
Measure first, choose the style second. A rug that's the right size will look considered in almost any style; a rug that's the wrong size will look like a mistake even if the design itself is perfect. When in doubt, size up rather than down — a slightly larger rug reads as intentional far more often than a slightly smaller one does.
