Rug Size & Placement Guide

Every rug tells its story not only through colour and craftsmanship but also through proportion. At the London Persian Rug Company, we curate and create pieces across a full spectrum of dimensions - from delicate runners to monumental bespoke carpets - each woven to balance artistry with architectural intent.
Our collection reflects the diversity of interior spaces our clients’ designs: grand salons, intimate reading rooms, hallways, dining spaces, and open-plan living areas. Whether you’re seeking a single statement piece or a cohesive suite of rugs to unify a project, every size is hand-finished to the same uncompromising standard of quality and design integrity.

Each rug within our collection is individually handwoven, with subtle variations in size and tone that speak to its authenticity and artisanal character. For projects requiring precise dimensions, our bespoke weaving service offers complete freedom - from proportion and palette to the final knot. We also hold a curated selection of grand-scale, handcrafted rugs in stock and ready to place, ensuring that even the most expansive spaces can be furnished without the need to commission.
