Rug Size Guide
Living Room
Your living room rug sets the tone for the entire space. The right size and placement define seating areas, bring balance, and tie all design elements together.
For Large Rugs: Place all furniture legs (sofa + chairs) fully on the rug for a grounded, cohesive look.
For Medium Rugs: Place the front legs of sofas and chairs on the rug, leaving back legs off for an open, modern vibe.
For Small Rugs: Use in front of a sofa, just under the coffee table, to create a cozy focal point in compact spaces.
Pro-tip: For open-plan living rooms, a larger rug can help define seating zones and make the space feel intentional.
Dining Room
A dining room rug should frame the table while allowing enough space to pull chairs back comfortably.
For Oversized Rugs: Choose a rug large enough for all chair legs to stay on the rug, even when pulled out.
For Standard Rugs: Works well with a 6–8 seater dining table.
For Round Rugs: Perfect under round dining tables, echoing the shape of the furniture for symmetry.
Pro-tip: Add at least 24” of extra rug space around the table edges so chairs never wobble on or off the rug.
Bedroom
A rug in the bedroom creates warmth and softens the room’s aesthetic, while also framing your bed beautifully.
For Large Rugs: Place under the bed, extending on all three exposed sides – a luxurious look for master bedrooms.
For Medium Rugs: Place two-thirds under the bed, starting from the nightstands downward.
For Small Rugs: Place one on either side of the bed, or a single runner at the foot of the bed for compact rooms.
Pro-tip: For layered luxury, try a neutral under-bed rug with a patterned runner for added personality.
