Bedroom Rugs

Be sure you leave enough room on each side of your bed. If the rug is similar to the width to your bed, it may look too small or even squished. On the other hand, if the rug is too big, it can feel overwhelming - after all, your bedroom should be a place of zen.

Styling Tips

A good rule of thumb is to allow your rug about 2 feet on all three sides of the bed. That means a 5’x8’ for a Twin, 6’x9’ for a Full, 8’x10’ for a Queen, and 9’x12’ for a King.

If you don’t have the space for one of those sizes, good news is you’ve got options. Have a queen, but your room can only fit a 6’x9’? Easy. Just pull the rug down about a quarter of the bed so it extends off the bottom of the bed. Don’t want to commit to an area rug? Go for two 2’x3’ rugs on either side of the bed or a runner at the foot of the bed

Living Room Rugs

Now, onto the living room… The size of your rug can determine the whole look and feel of the space. Go too small, and the space can appear crowded and your furniture pieces hodgepodge and disjointed. Go too big, and the rug swallows your furniture, making the room lose depth and dimension.

Styling Tips

You want the goldilocks effect – a rug small enough to fit the space, but big enough to tie your furniture together. Nailing down this "just right" scale grounds all of the pieces and makes the space feel open, inviting.

When in doubt, select a rug that allows for the front legs of the couch and chairs to rest on top of it. We typically recommend a 8’x10’ or 6’x9’ rug to create a large enough canvas for your furniture setup.

If you’re in an apartment or studio and can’t swing an area rug, go for a rug that allows for at least two of the furniture pieces’ legs to fit on it. Or, you can try layering a few rug sizes – this will create the illusion of a bigger rug, and also gives you flexibility to mix styles down the road.

Dining Room Rugs

In the dining room, the table is the star. Choose a rug size that feels comfortable and perfectly frames your table size while showing enough rug to add personality to your space. Make sure that when all chairs are pulled out, they still remain on the rug.

Styling Tips

Choose a rug that is large enough to fit all four chair legs, even when the chairs are pulled out.

Select a rug that's about 4 feet larger than your dining table.

If the table is extendable, select a rug size that can accommodate the table at its longest length.
