Rooms - Finding the right carpet size


How we find your dream carpet with you?

After you have chosen your room (living room, bedroom, dining room, hallway or favourite place), we give you tips on choosing the right shape and carpet size as well as the placement of the carpet in relation to the furniture. We also give you ideas for design, colour and interior design with product examples.

In order to find the right size for your carpet, it is advisable to place the furniture in such a way that it will later interact with the carpet. To get a better idea of how your carpet should look in the room, you can imitate the measurement with newspaper or some masking tape. Now simply measure out the determined area.

Rooms — find the right rug size


How we help you find your dream rug

Once you have chosen your room (living room, bedroom, dining room, hall or favourite location), we offer tips about how to select the right size and shape of rug, as well as how to position the rug in relation to furniture. You can also get ideas from us about design, colour and room layouts with product examples. 

To find the right dimensions for your rug, we recommend positioning the furniture exactly as it will subsequently be when the rug is installed. You can mimic the dimensions using newspaper or masking tape to give you a better idea of what your rug will look like in the room. Now all you have to do is measure the relevant area.

Neutral & Light Carpets

As a neutral colour, beige always blends in with the existing décor. Light colours make a room appear larger, while dark shades are particularly effective in a minimalist setting.

Bright & Coloured Carpets

Colourful rugs or large patterns can make a statement as eye-catchers and bring life to otherwise rather plain furnishings.

Carpets with pastel colours

Carpets in pastel colours are characterised by a high proportion of white and a low degree of saturation compared to other shades. As the entire colour palette is very restrained, pastel can be wonderfully combined with other delicate shades or even partly with gaudy colours.

Carpets in earth tones

Earth tones have a calming effect and can be used well as a contrast and balance to a colourful living ambience.

Industrial Style / Used-Look

Industrial style, or loft style, is typically characterised by materials and surfaces with a rough industrial charm. The so-called used look, where the surface looks used and used, is found mainly as a pattern and/or roughened material in vintage carpets.

Scandi Style

Clear shapes and friendly colours characterise the Scandinavian style. Typical are carpets with graphic patterns and motifs from nature. Much emphasis is placed on natural materials and handwork, which can be found in hand-woven carpets or hand-knotted carpets.

Boho Style

The boho look mixes different textures and natural materials with different styles and home trends. Rugs with oriental patterns harmonise with the hippie style, but rugs made of light natural materials also characterise the free-spirited look.

Ethno Style

Inspired by foreign cultures, the ethnic look is a colourful mix of eye-catching patterns, high-quality materials and bold colours. Kilim carpets with traditional oriental patterns or nomadic carpets with small animal images pick up on the exotic theme.

Wool

Wool yarns are most commonly used in the manufacture of carpets. We use only the higher quality virgin wool for our high-quality brand carpets. The habitat of the animals also determines the properties of the wool. Highland wool is particularly robust and resistant, lowland wool is considered particularly soft.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Wool fibres contribute to a cosy living atmosphere
  • They are extremely hard-wearing
  • Their natural grease makes them quite resistant to dirt and water
  • Wool fibres have an antistatic effect
  • They can be stretched and contracted by up to 30 percent, making them insensitive to pressure points
  • They have a sound-absorbing, heat-insulating and climate-regulating effect
  • Wool is a renewable raw material

Our tip: Wool carpets have a positive effect on the living climate, but are not suitable for damp rooms such as bathrooms. They have a high elasticity and dimensional stability, are naturally dirt-repellent, quick-drying and easy-care. Regular vacuuming is recommended.

Silk

In the past, it was reserved for kings and dignitaries, but today it is still one of the materials of the luxury class: natural silk. The noble natural product is still used today not only in the manufacture of fashion and home textiles, such as cushions and curtains, but also in carpets due to its special product properties.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Strongest known natural fibre
  • Appearance: soft sheen, natural elegance
  • High dimensional stability
  • Good ability to insulate
  • Not as elastic as wool, but exceptionally hard-wearing and tear-resistant
  • High knot density due to special fineness
  • Motifs and patterns appear very precise; depending on the incidence of light, silk carpets can have very different effects
  • Dyes are absorbed very well
  • Different viewing angles make the carpet appear lighter or darker
Our tip: Silk carpets tolerate different viewing angles, but not moisture. Due to their sensitivity to water, they are not suitable for damp rooms!

Polyester

Although polyesters also occur in nature, they are generally understood to be the large family of synthetic polymers that are used in many areas today. Depending on the type of monomers used, the properties of the polyester can be varied. In the production of upholstery fabrics and carpets, polyesters are extremely popular, also because they allow many design options.

Advantages at a glance:

  • very hard-wearing
  • easy to clean
  • heat insulating
  • partly usable in the bathroom
  • high pile and short pile carpets possible
  • Allergy-friendly
