Short answer: Measure the seating group, not just the empty floor. A living-room rug should visually connect the sofa and chairs, with at least the front legs of the main seating on it where the layout allows. Tape the proposed outline on the floor, check door clearance and walking routes, then compare that footprint with each available size.
A rug that is too small can make furniture look disconnected; one that is too large can catch doors or crowd the room. A five-minute masking-tape test prevents both problems.

What measurements matter?
- Overall seating width, including side tables.
- Distance from sofa front to opposite chairs or media unit.
- Clearance under doors, radiators and floor vents.
- The amount of bare floor you want to leave around the edge.
How should you compare the options?
Compare the listed dimensions and colour options for cream, navy and silver-grey fluffy rugs. Use the exact variant measurements rather than assuming every colour is offered in every size.
Start with the Home Decor & Furniture collection, then compare only items that genuinely fit the measured space and intended use.
