Find the Right Fit- Selecting the Rug Size
What is the best size
rug for your space?
Area rugs are
versatile. They come
in a large array
of shapes, sizes,
constructions and
colors. While rugs are
essential to protect
our oors, diminish
noise and improve our
home’s comfort, they
are also seen as a
statement of personal
style. But with so many
options to choose
from, selecting the
right rug for your
home can be easier
said than done!
The rst step in the rug buying process is to determine where you will
place your new rug. Before you can decide anything else, you’ll
have to consider your space’s specic needs.
Living Rooms / Great Rooms
• Placement and size of the rug is
crucial to the room’s look and feel.
Use the rug to help dene furniture
groupings. This can be especially
helpful if you are working with an
open space, like a studio apartment
or a combined kitchen and living
room, and need to dene a sitting
area.
• An equal amount of exposed oor-
ing around your rug will balance the
room and frame the rug. Don’t get a
rug so large that it touches your wall’s
baseboard. It is typically advised
to leave 12 to 18 inches of exposed
ooring around the rug.
• When using a smaller area rug, place the front legs of the furniture
on the rug and use furniture coasters under the back furniture legs to
achieve level height.
Dining Rooms
• When placing an area rug under
your dining room table, the rug should
extend just beyond the chairs in the
pulled out position. To nd out what
size rug you need, pull out the chairs
around the table as you normally
would to sit down and measure from
the rear chair legs in length and
width. Add 8” to this measurement
to get an idea of the minimum size
rug needed to accommodate your
dining room table.
