Rug Sizes in Feet and Centimetres

Rugberry's six stock rug sizes are 5x8 ft (150x240 cm), 6x9 ft (180x270 cm), 8x10 ft (240x300 cm), 9x12 ft (270x360 cm), 10x14 ft (300x420 cm) and 12x15 ft (360x450 cm). The centimetre figures are the rounded sizes listed on each product page, a little under a strict conversion of the feet.

Indian architects and interior designers draw in millimetres, while most families still think of a room as 12 by 14 feet. This page is the bridge between the two.

What are Rugberry's standard rug sizes in centimetres?

Rugberry stocks most rugs in six sizes, listed on every product page in both feet and centimetres. The table gives the listed size, a strict conversion, the millimetre figure for drawings and the area.

Feet	Listed cm	Strict cm	Drawing mm	Area
5x8 ft	150x240	152x244	1500x2400	40 sq ft, about 3.7 sq m
6x9 ft	180x270	183x274	1800x2700	54 sq ft, about 5.0 sq m
8x10 ft	240x300	244x305	2400x3000	80 sq ft, about 7.4 sq m
9x12 ft	270x360	274x366	2700x3600	108 sq ft, about 10.0 sq m
10x14 ft	300x420	305x427	3000x4200	140 sq ft, about 13.0 sq m
12x15 ft	360x450	366x457	3600x4500	180 sq ft, about 16.7 sq m

The Cadence Wool Rug, the Grain Wool Rug in Flax and the Savannah Jute Rug in Natural are all stocked in every one of these six sizes.

Why do the feet and centimetre figures not match exactly?

They differ because one foot is 30.48 cm, and the listed centimetre sizes are rounded to clean numbers. A 9 ft side is 274 cm by strict arithmetic, while the listing says 270 cm.

The gap grows with size: about 2 cm on a 5 ft side and about 7 cm on a 15 ft side. For a rug with generous floor around it, the difference never shows.

For a tight fit, such as a rug that must clear a wardrobe or sit inside a marble inlay band, plan from the listed cm figure. Then confirm the exact finished size with Rugberry before you order, since handmade rugs can also finish a few centimetres from the listing.

For a tight fit, plan from the centimetre figure. A rug can be smaller than its space, never larger.

How should architects and designers draw a rug in millimetres?

Draw the rug at the listed centimetre size multiplied by ten, on its own layer, with a 50 mm tolerance band around it. That keeps the plan honest about how a handmade rug finishes.

• Use the listed size, for example 2700x3600 mm for a 9x12 ft rug, not the strict conversion.
• Put rugs on a separate layer so they can be switched off for flooring and electrical drawings.
• Dimension the border to walls as well as the rug, because the client will judge the rug by the floor around it.
• Note the design and colourway beside the outline, so the order matches the drawing.

Designers working on several rooms can also use the made to measure route for any size the six stock sizes do not cover.

How do you convert room measurements quickly?

Multiply feet by 30.48 to get centimetres, or by 0.3 for a quick estimate in metres. For the reverse, divide centimetres by 30.48 to get feet.

• Feet to cm: 12 ft × 30.48 = 366 cm.
• Inches to cm: 1 inch is 2.54 cm, so 6 inches is about 15 cm.
• Metres to feet: 1 m is about 3.28 ft, so a 4.2 m wall is about 13 ft 9 in.
• Sq ft to sq m: divide by 10.76, so a 180 sq ft living room is about 16.7 sq m.

Builders in India often quote flat areas in square feet, while floor plans arrive in millimetres. Converting both to centimetres before you choose a rug avoids mixing units on the same sketch.

How do you order a size between the stock sizes?

Order it as a custom size in centimetres through the customisable rugs collection. Most Rugberry product pages list any size to order, and centimetres are the clearest unit for the brief.

Give length first, then width, and say whether the figure is the space available or the finished rug size. Our post on custom rug sizes covers the full brief.

Which other sizes does Rugberry list?

Beyond the six rectangles, Rugberry lists a few square and round sizes on specific designs. The Abstract Silk Rug in Cloud Gray comes in 6.5x6.5 ft (200x200 cm), 8x8 ft (240x240 cm) and 10x10 ft (300x300 cm).

The Facet Wool Rug is listed in 6, 8 and 10 ft diameters (180, 240 and 300 cm). Some designs stop below the largest sizes: the Kora Jute Rug is stocked in 5x8, 6x9 and 8x10 ft only.

The Savannah Jute Rug in Natural, hand knotted jute from about ₹41,000, is one of the jute designs stocked across all six sizes. The Cadence Wool Rug, hand tufted New Zealand wool from about ₹40,000, is another full range design. For the language on a product page, the rug glossary explains each term.

Frequently asked questions

What is 8x10 ft in centimetres?

Rugberry lists its 8x10 ft rugs as 240x300 cm. A strict conversion is about 244x305 cm, so plan tight spaces from the listed figure.

Rugberry lists 9x12 ft as 270x360 cm, which covers 108 sq ft or about 10 sq m. The strict conversion is about 274x366 cm.

Can I order a rug in an exact centimetre size?

Yes, for customisable designs. Give the finished length and width in centimetres, and ask Rugberry to confirm the size tolerance for a handmade rug.
