    You will be very hard pressed to get a square rug that size, and very hard to get a cheap one .If you can find anything the designs will be extremely limited.Next have some square rugs .I would suggest looking for a rug in the standard sizes of 120x 160cm, 160 x 225 cm .Within these size ranges you get more choice and better price deals.Try ebay or your local markets.Argos have rugs too, as do Ikea. Personally I think the best deals I know are ebay as long as you watch the postage price.

    IF you really need that particular size you could get a carpet rem cut to the size and binded around - but again the binding is not the cheapest option.
  • Have a look in your local Leos/co-op. Ive bought a couple there but not square ones. Some places are able to "bind" the edges of carpet so if you find a carpet shop able to do this, you could choose an offcut and have it bound. That way you could choose size and design. No idea of cost though! ;)
