Rugs 300 × 400 cm

The 300×400 cm rug covers 12 m², the equivalent of a whole bedroom underfoot. It is a rare and impressive size, reserved for large rooms that need structure: a very large living room, a loft, a family room, a big dining room for entertaining.

Which room?

• A very large living room (45-60 m²): it comfortably takes in a corner sofa, armchairs and coffee table
• Loft or open-plan family room: it structures a large volume majestically
• A large dining room (eight to ten people): under a 220×100 cm table with comfortable overhang
• Main bedroom suite: king bed, seating corner and open dressing area

A size to invest in

At this scale, the rug becomes a real line in the budget (€500 to €2,500 depending on the material). Investing in a 300×400 deserves some thought:

• Put the quality of the material first, since a rug at this price should last 15 to 20 years
• Favour a timeless style, because it will be yours for a long while
• Take care over the colour, because at this size it dominates the room

Recommended styles

At this scale, favour styles that carry well over a large area:

• Plain textured: the timeless choice, and it never dates
• Berber on a light ground: graphic motifs look magnificent writ large
• Traditional Persian: historically conceived for these sizes, noble and timeless
• Modern plain in a neutral tone: contemporary restraint that always works

Care points to keep in mind

At this size, upkeep deserves a little planning:

• Vacuum regularly: allow more time than for a standard rug, as 12 m² is a lot of ground to cover
• Turn it 180° every six months to even out wear and exposure to sunlight
• Protection under heavy furniture: felt pads under sofa or table legs stop permanent dents forming
• Professional cleaning every two to three years, depending on how busy the room is
