WHAT’S THE RIGHT-SIZED RUG FOR MY ROOM?
Determining the proper size for a rug is just as important as nding the right color and pattern. e size and shape
of your rug can help determine and dene furniture groupings as well as areas of use, such as conversation areas.
Multiple rugs can link one room to another. Furniture can be centered on the rugs or positioned o the rug depend-
ing on the size of the room and feeling you are aer. Companion rugs can be of dierent patterns, but should share a
similar color palette.
MEDIUM SIZED ROOMS
For medium sized rooms, area rugs are typically 5’ x 8’. is size is great for
smaller bedrooms, home oces, and in living rooms under the coee table,
for example.
Under the Coffee Table
• Depending upon the size of your coffee table
and accompanying furniture, choose a rug that
accommodates all 4 legs of the table.
• Area rugs should approximate the same length
and width of the furniture within the space.
• You can either leave some space between the furniture and
area rug or place the front legs of the furniture on the rug with
furniture coasters under the back legs adjusting for height.
LARGE SIZED ROOMS
Large rooms typically require an 8’ x 10 or larger area rug. is size of rug is great for
living rooms, great rooms, dining rooms, and master bedrooms. Instead of arranging
the furniture and rug in a traditional alignment, a new twist might be to angle the rug
underneath; or angle the bed/sofa/dining table and rug to match.
Dining Rooms
• An 8’ wide rug can accommodate most dining
tables, but add at least 4’ to the length and width
of your table measurements to be sure.
• Rugs should extend beyond the chairs in the pulled out position.

Bedrooms
• In bedrooms, one large rug is luxurious, but the bed will
cover most of it. Smaller equal-sized rugs used around
the bed are another option. The soft comfort of a rug is
most appreciated when stepping in and out of bed.
