Rug Sizes
WHAT SIZE RUG DO I NEED FOR A DINING ROOM?
An area rug under the dining room table should be 3 to 4 feet larger than the length and width of the table. A common mistake is placing a rug barely larger than the table. One should be able to pull out the chair and sit at the table without the legs of the chair extending past the edge of the rug.
WHAT SIZE RUG DO I NEED FOR A LIVING ROOM?
A living room rug can be any size, from a 3′x 5′ or 4′ x 6′ accent rug in front of the couch to a large carpet that nearly fills the room. If you decide you want your rug to fill a room, typically, it is recommended to leave about a foot to a foot and a half between the edge of the rug and the wall.
When choosing a size for a rug, also consider the size of the furniture in a room. A room should also be to scale. If you have bulky furniture it is recommended that you choose a larger rug to make the space appear proportional.
WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON SIZE OF A RUNNER?
Runners are typically 2 – 2 ½ feet in width, but can be as wide as 3 to 4 feet. Runners have the ability to give a long empty hallway life and warmth.
WHAT SIZE RUG DO I NEED FOR A BEDROOM?
A bedroom rug depends on the feel you want to achieve. A 4’ x 6’ can be placed at the end of the bed as a great accent piece. For a more luxurious feel, choose a 9’x12’ that can be placed completely under the bed so your feet can avoid cold floors in the morning.
