Start With Size

Size decides the look. A rug that’s too small makes furniture float. A well-sized rug frames the room and calms the layout.

• Living room: 200×300 cm fits most three-seat sofas. Aim to place at least the front legs of sofas and chairs on the rug.
• Large living room: 240×340 cm or 300×400 cm for bigger seating groups.
• Bedroom (queen): 200×300 cm under the lower two-thirds of the bed, or two 60×180 cm runners on each side.
• Dining: Add 60 cm beyond the table on all sides so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.

Pick the Right Material

Wool

Warm, resilient, and naturally stain resistant. Great for living rooms and bedrooms. Expect light shedding at first.

Cotton Flatweave / Kilim

Low profile and reversible. Easy to move and clean. Perfect for apartments, home offices, and layered looks.

Synthetics

Polypropylene and similar fibers are budget-friendly and easy to clean. Useful for high-traffic zones or rentals.

Pattern and Color

Choose a rug that supports your largest piece of furniture. If the sofa is plain, a patterned rug adds life. If the sofa is bold, use a calmer rug. Repeat one color from the rug in cushions or artwork to tie the room together.

Delivery and Returns in Egypt

• Delivery windows: Cairo and Giza often deliver within a week. Other governorates may take longer. Check estimated windows at checkout.
• Entry checks: Measure doors, elevators, and stairs for large sizes like 300×400 cm.
• Returns: Keep the original packaging and try the rug on a clean floor to protect fibers while you decide.

Budget Planning

Decide the range first. If you’re choosing between two sizes, pick the larger one if the room can take it. Size has the biggest visual impact and prevents the “floating furniture” look.

Care Basics

• Vacuum weekly on low setting. Avoid beater bars for flatweaves.
• Rotate seasonally to even out wear and sun.
• Spot clean spills fast with a mild solution. Blot, don’t rub.

FAQ

What about shedding? Wool sheds lightly at first. It settles with regular vacuuming.

Do flatweaves slip? Use an underlay on smooth floors for grip and extra cushioning.
