Tips for choosing the size

Consider the size and purpose of the room

• If you have a large living room, lay a large carpet measuring around 200 x 300 cm to create a sense of unity and luxury.
• For hallways and smaller spaces, compact sizes such as 80x120cm or 100x150cm are best.
• Smaller sizes such as 60 x 90 cm or 30 x 45 cm are suitable for the entrance or next to the sofa.

Different uses depending on the purpose

• Want to place it under a table: If you choose a size that is slightly larger than the table, you can pull out the chair and have the feet rest on the carpet, allowing you to use it without any stress.
• Match it to the area around your sofa: Match it to the size of your sofa or lounge chair and wrap it around the entire room to create a high-quality atmosphere.
• Wall hangings and accent pieces: Smaller rugs (30x45cm, 60x90cm, etc.) can be hung on the wall to accentuate your interior.

Be careful with notations that don't include tassels

• Persian carpets are often specified in measurements that do not include the tassels (fringe).
• Be careful, if you try to fit it exactly to the dimensions of the room, the tassels may stick out.
• You will be less likely to make mistakes if you choose a size with plenty of room and take into consideration the layout of your furniture and room.

Support for size notation that does not include tassels

• Items to check when purchasing

1. Be sure to check the actual length and width of the carpet.
2. Ask the shop how long the tassels should be.
3. If necessary, simulate the position in relation to furniture.

• The benefits of choosing a slightly larger size
• This creates more space in the room layout, giving you more freedom in arranging the furniture.
• It also makes the room look larger visually and creates a better balance between the rug and the floor.

Silk carpets can instantly elevate your interior. When choosing one, you may be drawn to the luxury and tend to focus only on the design, but in fact, choosing the right size holds the key to creating a good space.

Larger carpets bring a sense of unity to the entire room, creating a luxurious atmosphere while also being easy to balance with sofas and tables. On the other hand, compact carpets can be used in small spaces and hallways to tighten up the space and make a great accent piece for your interior.

Also, many silk carpets are listed without including the length of the tassels, so be careful not to run into trouble like "If it's too close to the edge of the room, it might stick out a little..." If you choose a slightly larger size, you'll have more freedom in the layout and it will look neater.

Furthermore, the luster and beautiful design of silk can be enjoyed by hanging it on the wall. The smaller size draws attention like a work of art and creates a special mood in the room.
