Rugs 160 x 230cm (203 products)

Where a 160 x 230cm rug works

At roughly 5ft 3in by 7ft 7in, a 160 x 230cm rug suits a small or medium living room. Put it in front of a two or three seater sofa with the front legs of the sofa resting on the rug, and the seating area feels pulled together. In a bedroom it sits well under the lower two thirds of a double bed, leaving a soft strip each side to step onto. It also fits under a small round or square table for four, as long as the chairs stay on the rug when they are pulled out.

Measure with tape on the floor

Mark 160 x 230cm out with masking tape before you order. You see straight away whether the rug clears the door, the hearth or a radiator. If you would like more of the floor covered, step up to 200 x 290cm or 200 x 300cm.

Washable, vintage or fluffy

Many of the rugs in this size are washable, with a thin, flat pile and a non-slip backing. They suit homes with children and pets. Vintage and distressed patterns hide everyday marks well. High pile shaggy rugs feel softer underfoot, and they are best vacuumed with the brush bar switched off. Check the care label on each listing, because some say machine wash and others say spot clean only.

Picking the size on the product page

Most rugs come in several sizes on one product page, so the photo and the price on the grid may be for a different size. Choose 160 x 230cm in the size menu and the price and measurements update to match.
