Rug Size Guide

The right rug transforms a room. Too small, and the space feels disconnected. Too large, and the proportions suffer. Here is how to find the perfect fit.

Living Room

For most living rooms, an 8' × 10' rug anchors the seating area beautifully. Larger rooms or L-shaped sectionals benefit from a 9' × 12'.

Place the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug, leaving the back legs off. This creates a cohesive seating zone while allowing the rug to frame the conversation area.

Dining Room

Your rug should extend at least 24 inches beyond the table on all sides, so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.

A 9' × 12' works beautifully under a 6-seat table. For 8-seat or larger tables, consider a 10' × 14' or a custom size to ensure proper coverage.

Bedroom

An 8' × 10' tucks perfectly under a queen bed, while a 9' × 12' provides generous coverage for king beds.

Position the rug so it extends 18 to 24 inches on each side and at the foot of the bed. This ensures bare feet land on softness every morning.

Entryway & Hallway

A 5' × 7' creates a welcoming landing in foyers and entryways. For hallways and corridors, consider a custom runner sized to your space.

Leave 4 to 6 inches of floor visible on each side. This frames the rug within the space and prevents curling at the edges near walls.
