HOW TO CHOOSE A RUG SIZE THAT FITS YOUR INTERIOR?
CRITERIA FOR CHOOSING THE SIZE OF A RUG
It is not always easy to decide on the size of a rug for our interior. Berber round rug? Berber square rug? Depending on the patterns, colors, and shape, Berber rugs greatly influence the ambiance of a room. They allow you to decorate your home and make your spaces much warmer. Berber rugs also provide better soundproofing for your rooms, and even help to retain heat inside. Traditional Berber rugs are perfect for this, as originally they were not intended as decorative elements: weavers made them to maintain warmth in their homes.
In this article, we provide you with tips for choosing the ideal size of a Berber rug, but one important rule is: do as you please!
To determine the right size of Berber rug to choose, you need to ask yourself some questions. It's best to avoid buying a Berber rug on impulse without considering its size. A Berber rug that is too small in a large space may get lost and not be showcased, while a rug that is too large for a small area can overwhelm the room. It's always better to plan ahead, take measurements to make your interior harmonious. We recommend always choosing a slightly larger Berber rug if you're undecided between two sizes.

THE LIVING ROOM
The advantage of a Berber carpet in the living room is that it helps define the spaces in the room. Indeed, if you have a sofa and armchairs, encompassing them all with a large Berber carpet creates a warm and inviting space. We recommend buying a Berber carpet that is never exactly the size of your sofa. It is ideal for it to extend on both sides if your room allows it, or to be slightly smaller if you have a small space. You can place one or more Berber carpets in your room to differentiate between the living room and dining area, for example, and delineate the zones.
For smaller rooms, opt for a smaller Berber carpet so that some of the floor is still visible. If the Berber carpet covers the entire space, it will give a carpet effect, suffocate the room, and make it appear smaller than it actually is.
Berber carpets are made of wool and are ideal when placed under furniture, coffee tables, or sofas, as when you remove your furniture, you can simply shake it to make the pile stand up straight. The Berber carpet does not get damaged when placed under heavy items.
THE DINING ROOM
For your dining room, the Berber carpet you choose should be tailored to the size of your dining table. The Berber carpet should fully encompass the table and chairs to create a proper dining area, which will be more visually appealing. Kilim rugs are perfect for dining rooms as they are flat-woven, allowing for easy chair movement and quicker cleaning. Them has prepared a special article for you on "How to clean your Berber carpet?" which you can find by clicking on this link. If your table is round, choose a square rug to break the roundness.
THE ROOM
Berber bedroom rugs give a real sense of warmth and comfort to the room and help keep your feet warm when getting out of bed! Once again, the size of your Berber rug will depend on the size of your room. For a very large room, opt for a very large Berber rug that completely encompasses your bed, or even your bedside tables. You can also "split" the bed by placing your Berber rug halfway under it: only the front feet of the bed will be on the Berber rug. Another option is a hallway runner rug: you can place 1, 2, or even 3 hallway Berber rugs (one on each side of the bed) around your bed.
Children's rooms also look more harmonious with a Berber rug. Opt for playful patterns that you can find on colorful Berber rugs, or even small round Berber rugs.
HALLWAY
The Berber hallway rug is a decorative item that may not always come to mind when decorating our interior, yet it adds character to a room that lacks it! Make sure that the doors can open without any issues with a Berber rug. You can also place several Berber hallway rugs in a row for very long hallways. These Berber hallway rugs are perfect for your entryways, instantly making the house/apartment warm from the first steps!
Choose Berber rugs that have good grip on the floor, such as Azilal rugs, Béni Ouarain rugs, or Boujad rugs. These Berber rugs are knotted, so they are heavy and will stay in place on the floor in this high-traffic area.
Custom-made
It is sometimes difficult to choose the right size of Berber carpet for your interior. Finding the perfect size, pattern, color, and material can be a real challenge. With Them, creating a custom-made Berber carpet is possible, and at an affordable price! If you have your eye on a Boucherouite, Béni Ouarain, Azilal, Boujad, or Kilim carpet on our e-shop but it's no longer in stock or not the right size, contact us! If you have a specific design in mind and want to draw the pattern yourself: that's possible too. We can have the Berber carpet of your dreams made with your dimensions, colors, and patterns by the women weavers from the Moroccan mountains of the Middle Atlas with whom we collaborate. We assist you in imagining your ideal Berber carpet. Find out more about our custom-made Berber carpets by clicking on this link. We explain everything!

THE LIVING ROOM
The advantage of a Berber carpet in the living room is that it helps define the different spaces in the room. For instance, if you have a sofa and armchairs, encompassing them with a large Berber carpet brings these pieces of furniture together into a warm space. We recommend purchasing a Berber carpet that is never exactly the size of your sofa. It's ideal for it to extend on both sides if your room allows it or to be slightly smaller if you have a small space. You can place one or more Berber carpets in your room to differentiate between the living room and dining area, for example, and to delineate the different zones.
For smaller rooms, opt for a smaller Berber carpet so that some of the floor is still visible. If the Berber carpet covers the entire space, it will give a carpeted effect, suffocate the room, and make it seem smaller than it actually is.
Berber carpets are made of wool and are ideal when placed under furniture, coffee tables, or sofas since, when you move your furniture, you can simply shake the carpet to make the pile stand up. A Berber carpet does not get damaged when placed under heavy items.
THE DINING ROOM
For your dining room, the Berber carpet you choose should be adapted to the size of your dining table. The Berber carpet should completely encompass the table and chairs to create a real dining space, which will be more pleasant to the eye. Kilim rugs are perfect for dining rooms because they are flat woven, allowing for easy chair movement and quicker cleaning. THEM has created a special article for you on "How to clean your Berber carpet?" which you can find by clicking on this link. If your table is round, opt for a square carpet to break the roundness.
THE ROOM
Bedroom Berber rugs give a real feeling of warmth and comfort to the room and keep your feet warm when getting out of bed! Once again, the size of your Berber rug will depend on the size of your room. For a very large room, opt for a very large Berber rug that completely covers your bed, or even your bedside tables. You can also "cut" the bed by placing your Berber rug halfway under it: only the front feet of the bed are on the Berber rug. Another option is the hallway rug: you can place 1, 2, or even 3 hallway Berber rugs (one on each side of the bed) around your bed.
Children's rooms are also always more harmonious with a Berber rug. Choose playful patterns that you can find on colorful Berber rugs, or small round Berber rugs.
HALLWAY
The Berber hallway carpet is a decorative item that is not necessarily considered when furnishing our interior, and yet, it adds character to a room that doesn't really have any! Make sure that the doors can open without any issues with a Berber carpet. You can also place several Berber hallway carpets in a row for very long hallways. These Berber hallway carpets are perfect for your entryways, automatically making the house/apartment feel warm from the first steps!
Choose Berber carpets that have good floor grip like Azilal carpets, Béni Ouarain carpets, or Boujad carpets. These Berber carpets are knotted, so they are heavy and will hold well on the floor in this passageway.

Sometimes it can be difficult to choose the right size of Berber rug for your interior. Finding the perfect size, pattern, color, and material can be a real challenge. With THEM, creating a custom Berber rug is possible, and at an affordable price!
