The edges of the carpet protrude beyond the edges of the sofa by 20 cm in each direction. If the length of the sofa is 2.50 meters, then we buy a carpet 2.7-3 meters long. The width depends on the size of the room.With a length of 3 meters, it can be 2-2.5 meters.
According to design canons, the front legs of the sofa are placed on the carpet. The carpet, at the same time, slides under the sofa by 20-25 cm.
