Most rug mistakes are size mistakes. Colour gets all the attention when people shop, but size is what decides whether a room settles or keeps feeling slightly off. A rug that is too small floats in the middle of the floor and pushes the furniture away from it, and a room can carry a rug one size up far more gracefully than one size down.
The living room
The rug should reach under the front legs of the sofa and armchairs so the furniture and the floor read as one zone rather than separate pieces sharing a space. For most Australian living rooms that means 290 x 200 cm. If the sofa faces a pair of armchairs across a coffee table, 330 x 240 cm lets every piece keep a foot on the rug. In open plan rooms, 400 x 300 cm is the size that defines the living zone properly, with the rug finishing where the zone should.
The bedroom
Run the rug under the lower two thirds of the bed, clear of the bedside tables, so you step onto it from either side in the morning. Aim for 60 to 70 cm of rug showing past the sides of the bed. A queen takes 290 x 200 cm comfortably, a king is better served by 330 x 240 cm.
The dining room
The test is simple: pull a chair out to sit down, and it should stay on the rug. That means the rug needs to extend 60 to 75 cm past the table edge on every side. For most six seat tables that is 330 x 240 cm, and for eight seats or a wide pedestal table, 400 x 300 cm.
Hallways
A runner works when it leaves a margin of floor visible along each side, framing the run rather than carpeting it. Our runners come in 300 x 80 cm for most hallways and 400 x 80 cm for longer runs, and each one is made to pair with a rug from the same design, so a hallway can hand over to a living room without changing its mind.
The sizes we make
The 2025 and 2026 collections come in four sizes: 230 x 160 cm, 290 x 200 cm, 330 x 240 cm and 400 x 300 cm, with matching runners in 300 x 80 cm and 400 x 80 cm. The original collection, Zen White, Travertine Brown, Travertine Silver, Paperbark Oatmeal, Earth Natural and Bedrock Grey, comes in 225 x 155 cm, 290 x 200 cm and 330 x 240 cm.

Store owner replied:
Hi Inger, thanks so much for your feedback. Mallee is printed on natural woven linen, so it has a lighter, more relaxed feel than a heavier cotton cover. That’s also what gives it its soft, organic, painterly look. If anything about your cushion doesn’t seem quite right, just email us at customercare@darrenpalmer.com and we’ll be happy to help.
Warmly,
Darren Palmer Home
Absolutely a wonderful experience buying this beautiful cushion. Do yourself a favour and buy from Darren Palmer. You won’t be disappointed.
As I have shared before I love the rug but would love the opportunity to have it custom made for exact measurements I needed
Would also love it if this was available in an outdoor mat
Thank you
Was delighted with my recent purchase. The rug looks fantastic in our chosen spot and we were thrilled with the quality.
The whole experience from
order to arrival was seamless and professional. Can highly recommend.
Can’t really smell the candle in a small space, onto the second one now and disappointed in the fact that you can really smell no fragrance for the price
On opening my “Palmer Pamper Pack” of Duo scented candles, the very thought was the combination of the two scents in the package smelled AMAZING! Mr Palmer has managed to create unique scents that are somehow soothingly familiar at the same time. The very essence of “evocative”. But the most impressive thing about these candles for this self-confessed candle-aholic is how evenly they burn. No annoying tunneling of the wax. Just the soft crackle of the wood wick and a calming scent that travels well throughout my home.
Well, it is a vibe. The candel smells amazing and fills my whole house with the fragrance. Love it. Would recommend to anyone who loves sented candles these candles are amazing
