Measuring an irregular room

Break the room into the rectangle or circle used by the furniture, rather than trying to cover every recess. Include alcoves only when they are part of that activity. Mark awkward corners and door swings separately. A standard rug shape can work in an irregular room when its relationship to the furniture is clear.

Start with the real room

A listed size is a physical outline, not a promise that it suits a named room. Measure in centimetres and use the actual variant dimensions. Include furniture movement and the height of the rug with its underlay where clearance matters. Keep colour choices separate while you settle the footprint; it makes the comparison much clearer.

Before you choose

1. Write down the exact product and size you are comparing. Keep the room measurements beside that record.
2. Check the full product gallery, not only the first image. Distinguish the selected option from room styling illustrations.
3. Read the specific care information and resolve any unanswered practical question with the supplier before ordering.

Continue your plan

Compare the relevant rug collection alongside your notes. Use the size guide to review proportions and the care guide for a starting checklist. The individual product label remains the authority for care.
