Finding the right rug size can be tricky, so we’ve put together this quick guide to help you choose the perfect fit for your space.

• Your rug sets the tone, the right size makes the space feel connected and cohesive
• When in doubt, size up for a more balanced, grounded look
• For a classic layout, place the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug
• For a designer look, choose a size that fits all main furniture pieces fully on the rug
• Leave about 12 inches of exposed floor around the rug to keep the room feeling open
• Choose durable, textured materials like wool, jute, sisal, or performance blends for comfort and longevity

• Choose a rug large enough to fit chairs even when they’re pulled out
• Aim for 18"–24" of extra space on all sides of the table
• Have a round table? A round rug helps echo the shape and create a cohesive look
• Make sure the rug lies flat to prevent tripping or chair wobble

• Choose a rug large enough to sit under both your bed and nightstands for a seamless, anchored look
• Alternatively, use a smaller rug that starts just behind the nightstands and sits under the lower two-thirds of the bed
• Make sure the rug extends at least 24" from the sides and foot of the bed for balanced coverage
• For a plush feel underfoot, consider materials like wool or soft performance blends

• A runner adds warmth, movement, and a sense of flow to narrow spaces
• Choose a runner that’s 4"–6" narrower than your hallway to create a clean border on each side
• Ensure the rug doesn’t block doors or obstruct furniture or walkways
• For safety and comfort, pair it with a non-slip rug pad
