How to Select the Right Size Rug for your Living Room

Some Things to Think About when Sizing a Rug for Your Living Room

• Consider your furniture and take note of the various layouts.
• Your rug helps define the living area.
• The most common mistake is going too small.
• In an open-plan space the rug should be large enough to accommodate most furniture.

Tips to Remember:

• Both 6'x9' and 9'x12' are standard rug size selections.
• However, a custom area rug option allows you to get the right size.
• If your sofa or armchairs are against the wall, the rug should go under the front leg of all large pieces.

Helpful Measuring Tip:

• Measure out your desired rug size with painter's tape to get a sense of how it will feel.
