For how to choose the right size rug for a given space, we've put together this simple guide with the help of a professional to get you started in the right direction.
Living Room
In general, 3x5 rugs provide extra cushioning and are the perfect size to accent and elevate your living room décor. For large rugs, if you want to keep the legs of the sofa at a certain distance from the rug, it is recommended to choose a 5x7 size. An 8x10 rug will fill the visual space of the lounge area, so it is suitable for slightly larger rooms. Larger rugs such as 9x13 can hold most of your furniture and home furnishings, and it is suitable for larger living rooms or open plan spaces.
Bed Room
For bedroom rugs, the size of the bed will determine the size of the rug you should choose. Traditionally, people put a large area of rugs under the bed, 5x7 size is suitable for single or full bed, and 8x10 or 9x13 is best for queen size bed. A small rug by the bed can add to the decor of the bedroom.
Dining Room
Both the shape of the room and the dining table will affect whether you should choose a rectangular or round rug. A 5x7 rug is generally suitable for a table of 2-4 people. A table for 6 fits on a 8x10 or 9x13 rug. Square and round tables accommodating 4-6 people pair perfectly with round rugs around 8 feet.
kITCHEN RUG
Traditionally, people would place a rug in the area in front of the sink, which is also the most practical place, and you can choose a 2 x 3, 2 x 4 or 3 x 5 size rug. A runner rug works best for a long kitchen.
