Frequently Asked Questions
Start with your room layout and furniture placement. A rug should connect the main pieces of furniture — either with all legs resting on it or at least the front legs to create cohesion. Larger rugs ground a space, while smaller rugs can define specific zones. For more guidance, see our Rug Size Guide.
For living rooms, a rug should be large enough to fit at least the front legs of your seating arrangement. Common sizes include:
- 8x10 ft: Ideal for standard sofas and seating areas.
- 9x12 ft: Works well for larger living rooms or open layouts.
- 5x7 ft: Best for compact spaces or layering over a larger rug.
Check our Rug Size Guide for more layout ideas.
To ensure chairs remain on the rug when pulled out, the rug should extend at least 24 inches beyond the table on all sides.
- 6x9 ft: Fits a table for 4.
