Choosing the right rug size

Choosing the right size rug is important for creating a visually appealing and functional space. Here are some tips on how to determine the right size rug for different rooms:

Living Room: A common rule of thumb is to choose a rug that is large enough to fit all the furniture on it. This creates a cohesive and pulled-together look. A good guideline is to choose a rug that extends at least 6-12 inches beyond the edges of the furniture. For example, if you have a sofa and two chairs in your living room, a rug that measures at least 8x10 feet would be appropriate.

Dining Room: In the dining room, the rug should be large enough to accommodate the table and chairs, both when they are pushed in and pulled out. Our recommendation is to choose a rug that is at least 2 feet wider and longer than the dining table. For example, if you have a dining table that measures 6x4 feet, choose a rug that is at least 8x6 feet.

Bedroom: In the bedroom, the rug should be large enough to fit under the bed and extend at least 2-3 feet beyond the sides and foot of the bed. This creates a soft and cozy area to step on when getting out of bed. For a queen-size bed, a rug that measures at least 8x10 feet would be appropriate.

Entryway/Hallway: In smaller spaces such as entryways or hallways, choose a rug that is proportional to the size of the space. A rug that is too small can look out of place and not provide enough coverage. A helpful guideline is to choose a rug that is at least 2 feet wider than the doorway or hallway.

Overall, when selecting a rug, consider the size of the room, the furniture placement, and the function of the space. A well-chosen rug can anchor a room and add warmth, texture, and color to your decor.
