Frequently Asked Questions

In dealer language, yes. “Palace size” is a common term for oversized carpets made for very large rooms and long sightlines.
As a practical benchmark, oversized rugs measure over 20 feet in either length or width—large enough to unify grand rooms, lofts, and open-plan interiors with one continuous surface.
Large rugs generally fall in the 15–20 foot range, while oversized rugs exceed 20 feet. Oversized rugs are best when you want one continuous carpet to connect multiple zones (seating, dining, circulation) in a truly expansive layout.
Historically, very large rugs were woven for palaces, estates, formal reception rooms, and grand civic interiors—spaces where the floor was part of the architectural statement. Many were planned with larger repeats, calmer fields, and proportioned borders so the design reads clearly from across the room.
The best oversized rugs stay calm and legible across long sightlines. Disciplined allover patterns, spacious medallion compositions with breathing room, architectural geometry, and planned florals with properly scaled repeats tend to perform best at palace size.
Plan the layout first: decide how furniture will sit (all legs on is the cleanest look at this scale), leave a perimeter of visible floor that feels intentional, and measure delivery pinch points like elevators, stair turns, hallways, and doorways before purchase.
If the room allows it, “all legs on” creates the most finished, grounded look—especially in open-plan rooms. In some layouts, “front legs on” can still work well when you’re close to the ideal size.
Look for design planning (motifs scaled properly and borders proportional), a stable foundation and straight edges over distance, coherent color across the full field, and consistent weaving quality—because uneven drawing and weak structure become obvious at 20+ feet.
In a palace-size rug, small issues can compound visually. Pay special attention to wear lanes, ends and selvages, old folds or storage lines (and whether the rug lies flat), and the quality of any restoration—good work disappears, poor work distracts.
Yes. Use a quality pad to reduce abrasion and stabilize the rug, vacuum gently and consistently, rotate periodically to distribute wear, and clean conservatively with qualified specialists when needed.
Usually, yes—with planning. Confirm building access and turning clearances in advance (elevator size, stairs, tight turns, doorways), plan a staging area for unrolling, and coordinate a trim-to-fit pad before installation.
