The optimal size of a Gabbeh carpet will vary depending on where it will be used.
By using small, medium, large, and custom sizes according to the purpose, you can achieve comfort and interior design effects that suit your lifestyle.
Small size usage example
The small size is approximately 50 x 80 to 60 x 90 cm.
Suitable for use as a doormat, bedside table or under a chair.
Wool Gabbehs have excellent insulating properties, making them cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
It is easy to incorporate into small spaces, and the design adds an accent to the space.
For areas that are prone to getting dirty, it is safer to choose dark colors or melange (mixed color) patterns.

Example of medium size usage
The recommended medium size is 80 x 120 to 120 x 180 cm.
It is suitable for use in front of the sofa in the living room, under a desk, or in a children's play space.
If you are placing it under a desk, it is important to choose a size that takes into account the range of motion of the chair.
The direction of the pile (pile direction) affects the reflection of light and color, so the impression changes depending on the direction in which it is laid.
Gabbehs with a high weaving density have differences in the feel underfoot and the fineness of the pattern.
Large size usage example
The large size is approximately 150 x 200 to 200 x 300 cm.
Perfect for a large living room or dining room.
In front of the sofa, placing only the front legs on a rug will help to unify the space.
When placing it under a dining table, the trick to avoiding mistakes is to measure it including the state when the chairs are pulled out.
Wool Gabbehs have excellent moisture-regulating properties and can be used comfortably even on heated floors.
Examples of custom sizes
Runners (for long, narrow hallways) are typically approximately 70 x 240 cm.
Custom sizes are useful for special applications such as hallways, narrow rooms, and wall decorations.
When measuring, it is best to leave a margin of 10 to 20 cm from the wall edge to achieve a good balance.
Also, be sure to check the gap under the door and the pile height.
The selection process is also explained in the [Gabbeh Selection Guide] .
summary
Each size of Gabbeh has its own appropriate place and role.
From entrance mats to living rooms, dining rooms, and hallways, choosing the right size to fit your space will make your life more comfortable and fulfilling.
