Large rugs: what are they, and what can they do for your interior?

A large rug is a floor rug measuring from around 140x200 cm and up. At Dims Studio, you'll find large rugs that don't just fill the room physically, but also create a clear frame for your interior. Here, the focus is on curated choices, where colours, patterns and materials are handpicked from brands that dare to think differently.

Materials and types of large rugs

Large rugs come in many materials, each giving a different look and feel underfoot. At Dims Studio, you can find, among others:

  • Wool: Thick wool rugs of 140x200 cm or larger insulate well and have a soft, natural surface.
  • Cotton: Lighter rugs in cotton, often with colourful patterns, which are easy to move around.
  • Polyester and blended materials: Provide durability and the possibility of bold colours and detailed designs.
  • Tufted rugs: With a dense, soft pile, perfect for the living room or bedroom.

Sizes and dimensions of large rugs

The size of a large rug typically starts at 140x200 cm and can go up to 200x300 cm or even larger. The most popular sizes are:

  • 140x200 cm, often fits under a smaller dining table or in a smaller living room.
  • 160x230 cm, covers a good area in front of the sofa or under the dining table.
  • 200x300 cm, ideal for large living rooms, bedrooms or open-plan spaces.

Choose the size based on the room's dimensions and the furniture you want to gather on the rug. A rug should ideally extend beyond the furniture to tie the room together.

Curated brands and design stories

Dims Studio has gathered large rugs from carefully selected brands, where quality and design are the focus:

  • Bongusta: Known for colourful, hand-woven wool rugs and quirky shapes, often inspired by classic patchwork and modern colour blocks.
  • Doing Goods: Creates large tufted rugs with animal motifs and playful details, all handmade in India under Fair Trade conditions.
  • Broste Copenhagen: Danish design tradition with a focus on soft tones and timeless patterns, often in natural materials.

The range at Dims Studio is curated by Dinna, who has an eye for the rugs that give something extra to a room, both visually and in terms of quality.

Use and styling of large rugs

  • Place a large rug under the dining table to bring the whole dining area together and soften the acoustics.
  • Use a rug of 200x300 cm in the living room, so the sofa, armchairs and coffee table all sit on the rug. It gives a calm and cohesive impression.
  • Large rugs also work well in the bedroom, where they can lie under the bed, so you step out onto a soft surface in the morning.
  • A colourful rug can be a statement piece in an otherwise neutral room, while a plain rug creates calm and balance.

Large rugs for different interior styles

A large rug can be adapted to almost any style:

  • Bohemian: A mix of colours and patterns, e.g. Doing Goods' animal and floral rugs.
  • Nordic: Muted colours and wool from Broste Copenhagen.
  • Modernist: Graphic shapes and bold colours from Bongusta.
  • Expressive: Rugs with artistic prints or wild motifs, allowed to fill the room.

At Dims Studio, the focus is on offering alternatives to the classic rug choices, so you can find something that matches your personality and your home.
