Rugs 150 × 100 cm

150 × 100 cm is the first format that forms a small surface instead of merely covering a stretch. It suits generous entrance areas, the space in front of a chest of drawers, a play area in the children's room. For a seating group it is still too small, for a defined corner exactly right. All pieces are handmade and one of a kind, with slightly varying dimensions.

Where this size really works

In an entrance area with a coat rack along one side, 150 × 100 cm covers the whole area you move across while putting on your coat. In front of a chest of drawers or a sideboard it creates a calm zone and protects the floor from scratches made by drawers and doors. In a children's room it is the play area in the middle of the floor; if the rug is to cover the whole room, that starts at 200 × 150 cm.

What to look for when buying

At this size people stand and sit on the rug, not just walk across it. In a children's room, what counts is that the wool is untreated and the colours natural. In an entrance area the opposite of comfort applies: dense, short pile, patterned rather than plain. If you have to choose between the two, go by how many hours a day someone actually stands on it.

FAQ

Common questions

Is 150 × 100 cm enough in front of a sofa?

No. In front of a sofa the rug should be at least as wide as the seat itself, otherwise it reads as a small mat.
The right size starts at 200 × 150 cm.

Is a hand-knotted rug suitable for children?

Wool is hard-wearing, dirt-repellent and can be cleaned, so the basics are all in its favour. What matters is a non-slip underlay.

Does this size fit under a coffee table?

Only if the table is small and the rug is meant to carry nothing but the table. As soon as the seating is to stand on the rug as well, the size is too tight.
