How to Pick the Right Size Rug For a Room?

Consider the Furniture Arrangement:

When selecting a rug for your living room, it's crucial to consider more than just its dimensions. A rug that can anchor your furniture grouping will create a cohesive and polished look in your space. To ensure a unified look in your living room, it's advisable to position the front legs of your main furniture pieces, like the sofa and armchairs, on the rug. This not only helps to define the seating area but also adds a layer of visual interest. Alternatively, you want to create a more expansive and luxurious feel. In that case, you can choose a larger rug that includes all your furniture on top, leaving some extra space around the edges for a defined seating area. This will create a harmonious and seamless look in your living room.

Measure and Plan:

Before buying a rug for your living room or any other room, you should measure the area where you want to place it. This will help you determine the appropriate rug size for the space. 

A good rule of thumb for a living room rug is to choose a size 15-30 centimeters wider than your furniture grouping. This ensures that the carpet is large enough to anchor your furniture and create a cohesive look. 

If you want the rug to cover most of the room, you can subtract around 12-30 centimeters from the perimeter of the space to determine the rug size. This will give you an idea of how much of the floor will be covered by the rug and help you choose the appropriate size.

General Rug Size Guidelines:

  • Living Room: Common sizes are 2.4x3 meters or 2.7x3.6 meters.
  • Dining Room: A 2.4x3-meter rug works well for most dining rooms, but you can adjust it based on the table size and the number of chairs.
  • Bedroom: The rug size should be proportionate to your bed. Typically, a rug goes under the front two-thirds of the bed, with some extra space on the sides.

When in Doubt, Go Bigger:

A rug that doesn't fit the room can make it look out of sync and disjointed from the other furniture and decor elements. Conversely, a slightly larger rug can bring your space a more unified and cozy look. You can avoid the issue of a poorly fitted rug by leaving a bit of extra flooring visible around the edges, giving it a more deliberate and well-positioned appearance.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

  • The room's shape: A square rug works well in a square room, while a rectangular carpet suits a long, narrow space.
  • Traffic flow: Leave enough space around the rug for comfortable walking between furniture pieces.

By following these tips, you should be well on your way to choosing the perfect rug size for your space!
