Here is a quick and easy guide to finding the perfect rug size for any room. Whether you’re looking to define open spaces or complement your furniture layout, these tips will help you achieve a well-balanced look.
To make things clearer, we’ve included pictures below that show exactly how to apply each suggestion in your home.
Select a kitchen rug based on size and layout. Put it in front of the sink for practicality.
A good guideline is to choose a rug that’s about four feet wider than your dining table, ensuring all chairs stay on the rug, even when pulled out.
When selecting a living room rug, ensure it’s large enough so that the front legs of all furniture pieces rest on it, creating a cohesive and grounded look.
When choosing a bedroom rug, aim for one that extends two to three feet beyond the bed, giving you a soft landing around the bed’s perimeter. A larger rug under the bed creates a bold, cohesive look, while smaller side rugs add a cozy touch without overwhelming the space.
When choosing a rug, consider the size, material, and style that best suits your space. A rug should fit your room’s layout, complement your décor, and be durable enough for its intended use.
Don’t forget to account for foot traffic and maintenance needs.
