Hur stor matta under soffa?

När du väljer en matta för soffgruppen bör den vara minst lika bred som din soffa men vi rekommenderar att mattan är bredare för en mer ombonad känsla. Placera mattan en bit in under soffan för att dels hålla den på plats men även för att skapa ett mer sammansatt uttryck. Tänk även på att välja en matta som är lite större om du har fåtöljer eller hörnsoffa, för att rama in hela möblemanget.

Hur stor matta under matbord?

Något som många ofta glömmer när de väljer matta till matgruppen är att man endast tänker på bordets mått och inte räknar med stolarna. Tänk därför på att du vill kunna dra ut stolen utan att benen ska hamna utanför mattkanten. Vi rekommenderar därför att mattan ska vara 50-60 cm längre än matbordet så att du kan placera stolar på kortsidorna och även använda iläggsskiva. Välj en matta som har samma form som ditt bord.

Rugs are an important part of the overall Interior design as they tie together the dining group, the sofa group and give the whole room a more considered look. Do you find it difficult to choose the right Rugs for you? Here are some simple tips to make your choice easier.

All Rugs

Where will the Rugs be used?

Living room

When choosing a rug for your sofa group, it should be at least as wide as your Sofa, but we recommend that the rug is wider for a more cosy feel. Place the Rugs a bit under the Sofa to keep it in place but also to create a more cohesive look. Also, if you have Armchairs or Corner sofas, consider choosing a slightly larger rug to frame the whole piece.

Dining area

Something that many people often forget when choosing Rugs for the dining group is that they only think about the dimensions of the Tables and don't count the Chairs. Chairs should therefore be able to be pulled out without the legs falling off the edge of the mat. We therefore recommend that the Rugs should be 50-60cm longer than the Dining tables so that you can place Chairs on the short sides and also use an extension leaf. Choose a Rugs that has the same shape as your Tables.

Bedroom

The function of Rugs in the Bedroom is largely to create a cosy place to put your feet when it's time to get up in the morning. Think about putting the Rugs about 2/3 under the double bed, plus it should surround the bed considerably as it helps to tie the look together. When it comes to a rug under a single bed, it should be at least as wide as the bed and placed about 20 cm in under one long side of the bed.

If you are unsure which size of Rugs is best for you, we recommend going up a size as the most common reason for returns is a rug that is too small.

Different types of Rugs

Here at Sleepo, you'll find a wide range of Rugs with varying characteristics and styles. The type of Rugs you choose depends entirely on location, purpose and personal taste. Do you want a soft rugs? One with shorter pile? Or maybe one that is more durable? Here you can read about our most Popular Rugs and what you can expect when choosing one of them.

Wool rugs

There are many benefits to choosing a Wool rugs. Wool is naturally dirt-repellent, is extremely durable and has a long lifespan if the Rugs are cared for properly. Wool rugs come in different designs. A thin, smoothly woven Wool rugs is perfect under Dining tables, for example, while one with a long pile can dramatically change the look of a room. An alternative to wool is cotton, which is usually in a lower price range but can mimic the look of a Wool rug. Choose a Wool rugs if you want a versatile rug that will last for years to come.

They are wonderfully soft with their long pile but can be a little more cumbersome to clean. Choose a Shaggy rugs if you want a rug that makes your home really cosy.

Jute & sisal rugs

Natural carpet is a collective name for Rugs made from jute and sisal. These Rugs have a more natural look and are perfect under Dining tables and in the Hallway as they are really durable. Jute rugs are often perceived as softer than sisal. Sisal rugs are often smoother and more tightly woven than jute rugs.

Synthetic carpets

Synthetic Rugs are a good option for those who want an easy-care carpet for many different uses. These Rugs are made from man-made materials such as polyester, acrylic, polypropylene and polyamide. Within the synthetic carpet category, the models can differ significantly as the materials are easier to manipulate with both colour and shape. A synthetic carpet is also often a little cheaper than many other types. Choose a synthetic rug if you want an easy-care rug that's a little kinder on the wallet.

Care advice

Here we have collected general care instructions that apply to many of our Rugs.

Vacuum the Rugs regularly in the direction of the pile, but only without a brush and on low power. Vacuum both sides.
To reduce wear and tear on both rugs and floors, use a rug pad.
Avoid dragging furniture back and forth across the Rugs. Use furniture paws/wheel guards under sofa legs and table legs
Do not expose the Rugs to direct sunlight.
What to do if stains occur depends entirely on the type of Rugs you have. For example, viscose is not resistant to moisture, while wool is a more durable option.
