Rug Size Guide

Choosing the right rug size is crucial for achieving the desired look and feel in your space. A rug that's too small can make a room appear cramped, while an oversized rug can overwhelm it. Consider the size of your furniture and the overall dimensions of the room. For instance, in a living room, aim to have the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug. In dining rooms, ensure the rug is large enough to accommodate all chairs when pulled out. Our guide will help you determine the ideal rug size for various rooms and furniture arrangements, ensuring your space looks and feels balanced and inviting.

Finding the perfect rug placement can transform your living room.
Here are a few popular options:
  • Ground the Seating Area: Place the front legs of your sofa on the rug. This integrates your furniture while minimizing the amount of rug needed.
  • Extend to the Front Legs: Position the rug so it reaches the front legs of your sofa. This creates a more expansive and visually impactful look.
  • Embrace the Scale: For larger rooms and furniture, a generously sized rug can enhance the grandeur of the space.
  • Proportion is Key: In smaller spaces, choose a rug that's proportionate to the room. Avoid rugs that are too small, as they can make the room feel cramped and disconnected.

For a balanced and visually appealing look, ensure your rug extends at least one foot beyond the foot of the bed. Leave approximately eight inches of space between each side of the bed and the edges of the rug. This creates a sense of spaciousness while anchoring the bed in the room. Recommended rug sizes include 8' x 10' feet for a queen bed and 9'x12' for a king bed, but adjust these sizes based on the dimensions of your bedroom and personal preference.
 

For optimal dining room design, ensure that all chair legs remain comfortably on the rug, even when the chairs are pulled out for seating. This creates a sense of stability and prevents the rug from shifting. To achieve this, leave at least 2 feet of rug extending beyond the edge of the dining table on all sides.
