Large rugs

[anatara]

I need a rug about 3.5m x 2.5m to do under our dining table. I was looking for something contemporary, currently have the black and white IKEA Stockholm which I really like, but unfortunately it’s stretched where the chairs moved. Most places seem to offer a max of 2.4x1.7. Does anyone know some websites with a good selection of larger rugs?

I like the look of Ruggable. A nice selection of designs and sizes and they’re even washable!

The stockholm might get back into shape if you get it cleaned

Dunhem have some large rugs

I second Dunelm, lots of choice for larger rugs.

@Lunaballoon I was mildly considering getting a rug once I have my new wood floor fitted ( next year )
I now want 6 and I have only got about a quarter of the way through their catalogue ha ha

Those Ruggable rugs look fantastic.

Thanks so much for your help, I hadn’t thought of Dunelm, and have ordered the large grey wool pebble rug, which looks very scandi, looking forward to it arriving!

Also look at your local FB marketplace and eBay for oversized rugs.

Anyone wondering about Ruggable, we've just had one.

My thoughts:

• Generally, very happy, though not actually washed it yet!
• Was slightly tricky getting the two layers to line up, I got there in the end but prepare to swear at it a bit.
• They aren't thick, plushy rugs, they're pretty flat. The more padded bottom layer might make a difference (we just have the standard one) but ultimately the pile is very short. I knew this and wasn't expecting any different, but it's worth being explicit.
• Delivery took ages. They're based in California and they are all made to order. Mine took 4 weeks to be made and dispatched, then another 2 weeks for delivery (though that was mostly because DHL lost it at Charles de Gaulle airport for a week)

I would definitely order another one, but the very biggest ones need a very big washing machine, so do be careful on that one!

big rugs are difficult to find imo. West elm have some if you want to buy new; I've ended up going for a mix of antique / vintage from auction houses or ebay

@anatara Let us know how the pebble rug goes. I am really tempted by one but some of the review were very poor.

I'm looking at a custom made one by Knotistry - it can be a similar price to a stock ruck from Wayfair/Dunelme depending on what you choose as the body of the rug

@anatara I had the pebble rug for a good 6 years and it withstood toddlers and spills and hid any stains very well! Recommended

Go to a carpet shop and get a piece cut in the size you want and ask if they do binding- if not take it somewhere that does.

I like the designs and quality of Shaggy Rugs LTD

I think @anatara , got the rug s/he wanted several years ago 😆.
Easy mistake to make tho .
