Rugs 6 × 9 & 7 × 10 ft — Hand-Knotted Mid-Format
Rugs 6 × 9 to 7 × 10 ft
“The most-used size in modern American and European interiors — large enough to anchor, compact enough to layer.”
When the 6 × 9 / 7 × 10 Format Is Right
This size range — roughly 180 × 275 to 215 × 305 cm — is the workhorse of contemporary interior design. It is large enough to define a living-room conversation area and small enough to suit urban apartments, mid-size dining rooms, master bedrooms and executive offices. A rug at this scale typically supports a sofa with all front legs on the rug, leaving the back legs on the floor — the classic placement.
Provenances in This Size Range
Our 6 × 9 and 7 × 10 ft selection draws on every tradition we curate:
- —Persian: Heriz, Bidjar, Tabriz, Sarouk, Kashan, Bakhtiari, Kerman — the classic Persian medallion masterpieces
- —Ghom silk: the rare large-format silk pieces
- —Caucasian-style: bold geometric Khotan and Oushak revivals
- —Moroccan: Beni Ourain, Azilal, Boujad
- —Tibetan & Nepalese: Tibetan Tiger, Makalu designer rugs, Perfect Plains bamboo silk

Placement Tips
- —Living room: front legs of sofa and armchairs on the rug — the most popular configuration
- —Dining room: suits a 4–6-seat table; ensure all chair legs remain on the rug when pulled out
- —Bedroom: placed under the lower two-thirds of a queen bed or sideways at the foot
- —Entry and office: anchors the space without overwhelming it
