How Do Extra-Large Rugs Make Their Surroundings So Unique?
Extra-large rugs bring a distinct charisma to their environments, structuring open spaces, zoning expansive layouts, and infusing them with luxurious warmth. In open-plan living-dining areas, galleries, lofts, conference rooms or hotel lounges, they deliver a new level of comfort and cohesion to large rooms. Moreover, XL rugs provide acoustic comfort by absorbing noise, visually expand interiors, and create a more relaxed overall ambience. As the centerpiece in spacious lounge areas, beneath long dining tables, or as the highlight in expansive reception rooms, extra-large rugs make an elegant statement—uniting aesthetics, comfort, and investment potential.

Guide & Home Inspiration for Oversized Rugs
- Living Room & Lounge: A substantial rug (e.g. 300×200 cm, 300×300 cm, 350×250 cm, 350×300 cm, 400×350 cm, 400×300 cm, 400x400 cm, 450×350 cm, 500×400 cm and more) can accommodate sofas, armchairs and coffee tables—with all the furniture set entirely on the rug. This immediately creates an exclusive lounge or island feel.
- Dining Room: XL sizes are perfect for long tables or multiple dining tables—ideally, the rug should extend about 70–100 cm beyond tables and chairs on all sides.
- Loft & Open Space: Oversized rugs serve as anchor zones, uniting seating, dining and working areas into a harmonious living landscape. Combine with plants or sculptures for added individuality!
- Office, Conference Room, Open Workspace: An extra-large rug becomes a tasteful statement for team meetings or executive offices—enhancing acoustics and creating a focused, premium working environment.
- Foyer, Gallery, Hotel Lobby & Ballroom: For expansive foyers, galleries, lobbies or halls, an extra-large rug defines sophisticated first impressions, accentuates architectural features and fuses striking design with functional comfort.
Combination tip: Create “rug islands” by pairing extra-large pieces with matching runners, accent rugs or artfully placed round carpets.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Oversized Rugs (Over 300 cm Length)
Can an oversized rug be cleaned?
Absolutely! High-quality wool and silk are very durable. For oversized rugs, vacuum gently on a regular basis, avoid direct sunlight and moisture, and arrange for professional specialist cleaning every two years.
How do I prevent creases or slipping with oversized rugs?
Use a non-slip underlay across the full area to prevent folding or movement. Placing furniture on the edges can add stability—just take care not to damage the rug in the process.

Absolutely—thanks to our partner Khademi, custom orders are welcome. We’re happy to advise on unique sizes, colour and design wishes or exclusive features. Contact our team for guidance and planning your ideal rug.
