Rug Sizes for Filipino Condos: A Guide for Manila & Cebu Homes

Most condos in the Philippines - from BGC to Makati to Cebu IT Park - have compact layouts, tiled floors, and clean modern interiors. The right rug size can make these spaces look bigger, warmer, and more luxurious. This guide shows you the best rug sizes for Filipino condos and how to choose one that fits your space perfectly.

Why Rug Size Matters in Condos

Choosing the right size is more important than choosing the right color. A rug that’s too small makes a condo look cramped, while a correctly sized rug anchors the room and creates an elevated designer look.

Best Rug Sizes for Condo Living Rooms

Most Manila and Cebu condo living rooms are 10–16 sqm. These sizes work best:

Small Living Rooms (Studio or 1BR)

• 120×170 cm — for compact layouts
• 160×230 cm — ideal size; makes space look bigger

Medium Living Rooms (1BR or 2BR)

• 160×230 cm — standard recommended size
• 200×290 cm — premium, full-coverage look

Tip: The front legs of your sofa should sit on the rug for a balanced, high-end look.

Best Rug Sizes for Condo Bedrooms

Queen Bedrooms

• 160×230 cm — the most balanced size
• 120×170 cm — placed on one side of the bed

King Bedrooms

• 200×290 cm — ideal for full coverage
• 160×230 cm — front placement under the bed

For smaller bedrooms in studios or 1BR units:
120×170 cm works well beside the bed.

Best Rug Sizes for Condo Dining Areas

General rule: The rug should be large enough for chairs to stay on the rug even when pulled out.

• 4-seater dining set: 160×230 cm
• 6-seater dining set: 200×290 cm
  
  

Best Rug Sizes for Filipino Studio Units

Studios usually range from 22–32 sqm. A rug helps divide the space visually.

• 120×170 cm — perfect for zoning the “living area”
• 160×230 cm — if the layout allows, this looks premium
  
  

Round Rug Sizes for Condos

Round rugs work well in awkward spaces or small dining corners.

• 120–160 cm round — small seating areas
• 200 cm round — medium dining areas or reading corners
  
  

How to Make Condos Look Bigger With Rugs

• Choose a rug that extends beyond your furniture
• Use light or neutral tones to brighten the room
• Select modern geometric or minimal patterns
• Avoid small rugs that “float” in the middle of the floor
