The Neptune rug buying guide
Rugs are an effortless way to bring warmth, texture and personality into any space but finding the perfect size for each room can be a challenge. Our collection offers a variety of sizes and textures, from handwoven motif rugs that bring artisanal charm to cocooning sheepskins for ultimate softness, and durable flatweaves for everyday resilience.
Living rooms
In spaces used regularly throughout the day, such as the living room, a durable rug offers comfort while introducing colour and pattern, making it a focal point for the room.
Works well in a medium-sized living area with a coffee table and extra space under a two-seater sofa.
Measuring roughly the same as a three-seater sofa, this size sits neatly underneath it, paired with two armchairs.
Suited to a larger open-plan room, this size sits beneath multiple pieces of upholstery and furniture.
Dining rooms
For dining rooms, your rug should be large enough to accommodate both the table and chairs, even when pulled out, ensuring a balanced and cohesive look.
This size sits neatly under a small round or rectangular four to six-seater dining set-up.
Fits under a six to eight-seater table with enough room to pull out your chairs whilst still on the rug.
Allows for an eight to ten-seater dining set-up, with plenty of space to walk around the edge of the rug.
Bedrooms
A bedroom is a cosy sanctuary, and a rug adds a layer of softness and warmth underfoot from the moment you step out of bed in the morning.
Placed under a double bed, this size allows for sufficient space from the foot of the bed to the edge of the rug.
Fits perfectly under a king-sized bed with an ottoman or footstool placed at the end for added storage and seating.
Ideal for under a super king sized bed with extra space around for an armchair, footstool and coffee table.
Jute
Jute rugs offer a rustic, natural texture that adds organic charm to any room. Made from sustainable fibres, they’re durable yet best suited for low-traffic areas. With their earthy tones, jute rugs bring a laid-back look.
Wool
Wool rugs are soft, durable, and naturally insulating, making them ideal for any season. Their fibres resist crushing and fading, ensuring a cosy feel and vibrant look for years to come.
Flatweave
The most durable rugs in our collection, flatweaves are tightly woven and have no pile, making them perfect for high traffic areas like hallways and kitchens. Lightweight and cool underfoot, ours feature smart geometric patterns.
Motif
Our motif rugs showcase intricate diamond patterns, inspired by the rich history of Persian rug design. Handwoven on traditional looms, each one brings colour, pattern and artisanal craftsmanship to interiors.
Loop-pile
Named after the traditional weaving technique that creates their textured finish, loop-pile rugs are perfect for adding softness underfoot to stone or timber floors. Choose from simple designs and intricate plaited patterns.
Sheepskin
Woven from the wool of Corriedale sheep, native to New Zealand and the oldest cross-bred breed in the world, our sheepskins are prized for their close-cropped curl and soft, dense texture.

Notes on care
Each skilled weaver brings a unique touch to their craft, resulting in slight variations in shading and size that enhance the beauty of every rug. We recommend vacuuming most of our rugs regularly without a brush attachment and occasionally giving them a gentle shake outdoors. Be sure to check the care instructions for each rug to keep it looking its best.
