• Under a coffee table it leaves enough room all round for your feet
• Hand-knotted one-of-a-kind pieces with slightly varying dimensions

Where this size really works

Under an armchair with a footstool, 180 × 120 cm makes a self-contained reading corner — armchair and stool stand fully on the rug, with a margin visible all round. In a home office the size covers the area under desk and chair, so the chair doesn't roll over the edge when you push back. In a living room it only works if the rug lies in front of the sofa and not underneath it.

What to look for when buying

If the rug lies in front of the sofa, it should be at least as wide as the seat — otherwise it looks like a small mat. With sofas from about 200 cm wide, that makes 240 × 170 cm the more honest size. In a children's room what counts above all is that the wool is untreated and the colours natural; the floor is played on, not just walked across.
