Rugs Australia 2026: In-Stock Rug Hub with Size and Buying Tips

Last updated: 2026-09-25 (Australia/Sydney) · Written and reviewed by the Darrah Opens team, Australian home & outdoor specialists.

Quick answer: Choose a rug big enough for the front legs of every sofa and chair to sit on it: 200 x 290 cm suits most Australian living rooms, 160 x 230 cm suits smaller lounges, and dining rugs should extend about 60 cm past the table on every side. Pick low-pile or flatweave for busy areas and a soft pile for bedrooms.

This hub lists 197 in-stock products from the Rugs collection at Darrah Opens, checked on 25 September 2026. It lists area rugs across several ranges so you can shortlist by style, then check sizes on each product page.

What is in the rugs range

The range includes modern and traditional area rugs, low-pile and flatweave designs, shaggy rugs and large floor rugs in neutral, grey, cream, blue and patterned styles.

How to choose a rug

  • Measure the seating zone: the rug should hold at least the front legs of every sofa and chair.
  • Leave about 20-45 cm of bare floor between the rug edge and the walls.
  • Under a dining table, allow roughly 60 cm beyond the table edge so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.
  • Low-pile and flatweave rugs are easier to vacuum and suit hallways, dining rooms and homes with pets.
  • Use a non-slip underlay on timber or tiles to stop slipping and protect the floor.

Frequently asked questions (2026)

What size rug do I need for my living room?

In most Australian living rooms a 200 x 290 cm rug fits under the front legs of the sofa and chairs. Smaller lounges often suit 160 x 230 cm.

How do I clean a rug at home?

Vacuum weekly without a beater bar on shaggy rugs, blot spills straight away and spot-clean with mild detergent. Follow the care notes on the product page.

Are low-pile rugs better for pets?

Low-pile and flatweave rugs release pet hair more easily and are less likely to snag on claws, so they usually suit homes with pets better than shaggy rugs.

Do I need a rug underlay?

An underlay stops rugs slipping on timber and tiles, adds cushioning and can help protect floors. Choose one slightly smaller than the rug.

Where can I see prices and current stock?

Prices and live availability are on each product page. This hub only links rugs that were in stock when we last checked.
