How the Rugs Point rug size calculator works
The calculator compares your room and furniture measurements with common Australian rug sizes, then recommends a practical option from the sizes Rugs Point regularly stocks. For living rooms it considers furniture placement; for dining rooms it allows extra space for chairs; and for bedrooms it considers the bed footprint and comfortable rug coverage.
Popular Australian rug sizes: 120×170cm, 160×230cm, 200×290cm, 240×330cm, 280×380cm and 300×400cm. Always check the exact dimensions listed on the individual rug before ordering because some collections use slightly different measurements.
Choosing the right rug size starts with the room, furniture layout and the amount of floor coverage you want. Rugs Point stocks a wide range of standard and larger rug sizes for Australian homes.
Quick answer: For many Australian rooms, 160 x 230 cm suits compact spaces, 200 x 290 cm is a common living-room size, and 240 x 330 cm or larger can suit bigger living and dining zones. Measure the furniture footprint and use the calculator before ordering.

What about a 230 x 280 cm rug?
Some rugs use non-standard dimensions such as approximately 230 x 280 cm. Treat the actual measurements as more important than the size label: measure your available floor area and compare the product's exact width and length with your furniture layout.
Living room
For a living room, measure the seating zone first. A rug should normally extend far enough to visually connect the sofa and chairs. Larger rooms often benefit from a 240 x 330 cm or larger rug. See our living room rug size guide for common sizes and layout guidance.
Bedroom
For bedrooms, consider the bed width, bedside tables and walking space. A larger rug can create a soft landing around the bed, while a smaller rug can suit the lower part of the bed or a compact bedroom.
Dining room
For dining tables, allow enough rug beyond the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out. Measure the table and add generous clearance on every side. Our dining table rug size guide explains common 6-seat and 8-seat sizing and chair-clearance guidance.
Measure before choosing a rug size
Mark the proposed rug outline on the floor and check doors, walkways and furniture placement. If you need a simple method, follow our how to measure for a rug guide.
