Placement Guidance

Not sure which piece fits your space? Send us the room.

The most common mistake with a handmade rug isn’t the pattern or the colour. It’s the size. A rug that’s 40 cm too small makes a beautiful room look unfinished — and no amount of styling fixes it afterwards.

How it works

Send us two or three photos of the room and its dimensions. Tell us where the furniture sits and what you want the space to feel like.

We come back with a recommendation: the size that works, where the rug should sit in relation to the sofa and the walls, and which pieces from our collection fit — or what we’d go and look for.

No charge, no obligation. If nothing we have is right, we’ll say so.

What we look at

The dimensions of the room and the usable floor area once furniture is in place.

Where the light comes from. A rug reads differently under morning light from the east than under a low western sun.

The colours already in the space — floor, walls, textiles.

Whether the rug should lead the room or sit quietly under it. Both are valid. They call for very different pieces.

Traffic. A hallway and a bedroom don’t ask the same thing of a wool pile.

The three rules that matter most

Leave 30 to 60 cm of bare floor between the rug and the walls. A rug that touches the skirting looks like fitted carpet.

Under a dining table, the rug should extend at least 60 cm beyond the table on every side, so chairs stay on it when pulled out.

In a bedroom, a rug that starts two thirds down the bed and extends past both sides gives you wool underfoot when you get up. That’s the whole point.

Questions

Is there a charge for this?

No. It’s part of buying a piece that costs enough to be worth getting right.

What do you need from me?

Two or three photos of the room, the dimensions, and where the furniture sits. That’s enough to start.

What if the size I need isn’t in stock?

Then we source it. That’s what the sourcing service is for.

Can you advise on more than one room?

Yes. Whole homes, and professional projects through the collaboration program.

Do you visit in person?

In Belgium, always.
