Shapes and sizes of carpets
In order to choose a modern and beautiful carpet, it is necessary to choose it according to various parameters: the thickness and length of the pile, the material of the carpet, the combination with the general interior design of the room, and most importantly, the size and its shape. If you neglect at least one parameter, then the carpet can spoil the appearance of the space, and can even cause allergies in family members.
Choosing the right rug can be tricky, especially when shopping online. If you are sure what size you want, then there is the option of buying a standard-shaped carpet or making a custom-made carpet, which will cost more.
In total, manufacturers distinguish 4 forms:
- The most standard is rectangular. Classics and rigor in one form. Most carpets are produced in this form, since they will perfectly fit into any interior. The size is determined by the width and length of the product
- The square shape is more difficult to define such a rug in the interior. If you need to correctly zone the space of the room, then a square rug will come in handy. Dimensions are calculated on the sides
- Oval shape. They are also widely used, as they are suitable, practically, in any interior. The dimensions of such a carpet are determined by two diameters. It is most commonly used in living rooms.
- Circle shape. They are also suitable for any interior, for a bright accent, you can choose a bright color, then the space will sparkle with new colors. Depending on where the round carpet is used, its dimensions are chosen. For a bedroom, it is more logical to choose a size with a diameter of two meters; for a living room, you can use a larger diameter.
Carpet sizes
Based on which shape you choose, the size of the carpet will also depend. Since, as already mentioned in the article, not all shapes are suitable for overall dimensions, and vice versa.
But for each carpet shape, there is a standard size used by many manufacturers.

2. For square - from 50 cm to 4.5 meters for each side. Round carpets have similar dimensions.
3. For oval - from 50 cm to 2 meters for each axis of the oval.
4. Separately, it is worth noting the carpet runners, for the standard its dimensions can be from 60 cm to 1.5 meters in width, and from 1.5 to 6.5 meters in width.
When measuring the dimensions, take into account the area of the total space, and do not forget to subtract the area of furniture, such as a cabinet, from it. You can buy carpets in Kiev to your taste in the online store.
