Small rugs, big effect

It's not that difficult to make small rooms cozy. With a few tricks, you can create a cosy home even in small rooms with accessories, beautiful furniture and rugs.
This starts with the choice of color.

A rug can make a big impact in a small room. Whether it visually enlarges the room, creates a cozy atmosphere or simply adds a stylish accent - small rugs are true all-rounders.

Small rugs for small rooms

Small rugs offer many advantages, especially in small rooms. They can visually enlarge the room, provide warmth and coziness and serve as a stylish decorative element. They are also easy to maintain and versatile in use.

How big should my rug be?

The size of the rug plays a decisive role in room design. A rug that is too large can make the room look cluttered, while a very small rug looks lost. Make sure the rug is large enough to accommodate the most important pieces of furniture, but small enough not to dominate the room.

Top rugs for small spaces

Living area

A small rug in the living room creates a focal point and coziness. Choose a design that matches your interior and look for easy-care materials.

Carpet runners for the hallway

Carpet runners are ideal for narrow spaces such as hallways. They protect the floor, add color and design and can visually lengthen the room.

Vintage rugs

Vintage rugs add a touch of history and character to rooms. They often come in warm, earthy tones and go well with different interior styles.

Geometric patterns

Rugs with geometric patterns can add a modern and stylish accent. They are particularly suitable for minimalist or contemporary rooms.

High-pile rugs for the bedroom

A high-pile rug in the bedroom creates a cozy and warm atmosphere.
Choose soft, fluffy materials for maximum comfort.

Jute rugs for a natural look

Jute rugs are environmentally friendly and give the room a natural, rustic charm. They are hard-wearing and easy to maintain.

Washable rugs

Washable rugs are particularly practical for households with children or pets. They are easy to clean and available in many different designs.

Modern designs

Modern rugs with clean lines and minimalist design are perfect for contemporary spaces. They set stylish accents.

How to choose the right rug

Choosing the right material

Choosing the right material is crucial for the durability and comfort of the rug. Cotton, polyester and jute are popular materials for rugs.

Design and pattern

Choose a design that suits your interior style. Geometric patterns, floral patterns and monochrome rugs are just some of the many options.

Easy-care

Make sure that the rug is easy to care for. Washable or stain-resistant rugs are particularly practical.

Placement and style

In the hallway

Runners are perfect in a limited entrance area or a narrow hallway.

With a round rug, you can break up the linearity of the room. You can then pick up on the shape with a round mirror, for example. The shapes come together again and create harmony in the room.

A colorful rug creates a visual highlight, while a high-pile rug exudes coziness. If you have children or animals, a short-pile rug  is more practical. A sisal or felt rug also works well.

Rugs in the living room

A rug in the living room can define the room and create a cozy focal point. Make sure the rug is large enough to place the most important pieces of furniture on it.

In a one-bedroom apartment, you can use small rugs to create zones and demarcate living room islands. For example, you can separate the dining area or emphasize a small sitting area.
A small Oriental rug is ideal for this. The Gabbeh sets colorful accents and the fine wool accentuates a noble parquet.
If you have a lot of pictures and photos on the wall, go for a calm rug in earthy tones. A real Gabbeh is bright and colorful, but also available in black, white or grey.

Living room kitchen

A small rug is a nice decorative idea in the living room kitchen, making it look homely and cozy. An eat-in kitchen stands for urban living, which can be reflected in the mix of materials, shapes and colors.
Wood and a fluffy Persian rug give the room an individual touch.
If it is only placed under the dining table, however, the rug looks too small.

The bedroom

A rug in the bedroom provides warmth and comfort. Place the rug under the bed so that it overlaps on both sides.
In a small bedroom two small identical rugs to the right and left of the bed are ideal. They make the room cozy and homely.
When you get up in the morning, your feet should be on the rug. So place it close to the bed. If one side of the bed is against the wall, a rug will suffice.
A small round rug that lies partly under the bed contrasts with straight lines and edges. Use masking tape to tape the outline of your rug to the floor so you can visualize it.

Care tips

Vacuum regularly
Regular vacuuming keeps the rug clean and fresh. Be sure to vacuum the carpet carefully so as not to damage the fibers.

Remove stains
Stains should be treated immediately to avoid permanent damage. Use mild detergents and always test them on an inconspicuous area first.

Professional cleaning
Regular professional cleaning can help extend the life of the rug and remove ingrained dirt.
