Finding the perfect rug for a large room can present a special kind of challenge. Large carpet rugs are often required for open-plan living spaces where lounge or dining areas transition into kitchen spaces. This means you often have large spaces to fill and potentially shifting decor styles.

At The Red Carpet, we have a huge collection of large rugs for sale, including large persian rugs, modern rugs and contemporary designs and transitional patterns. Our large rugs range in size from 10ft x 7ft (approximately 3m x 2m) to 14ft x 10ft (approximately 4.2m x 3m).

All our rugs are hand-woven from the finest wool and silk and sourced from artisans in Iran, Nepal, India and the Middle East.

Choosing a Large Rug

Rugs can be extremely valuable when it comes to furnishing a large space. They can help to cut down on noise and echo, which can be a significant problem in large rooms with hardwood floors. Rugs can also help to retain the heat, which is particularly important during a Melbourne winter.

A carefully selected rug can also help to define spaces in a large room. For example, they can help to mark out and separate living spaces in open plan concepts. They can also tie collections of furniture together, define design aesthetics and create a focal point in the room.

Besides the look of the rug, there are several other factors you should consider when selecting a large rug. It’s important to make sure you have the correct dimensions not only of the room but of the space you need the rug to occupy. For example, if your rug will be sitting under a sofa and coffee table, the rug needs to be about 30cm longer than the furniture on all sides. If the rug isn’t large enough to properly accommodate all the furniture it can look awkward.
