Selecting the Right Size Rug

Dec 26

Okay, you have all your furniture in place. But how do you know the right rug size? Selecting the right size rug can be a difficult decision. In other words, which size rug is suitable for which room.

Selecting the Right Size Rug for your Living Room

Selecting the right rug size is simple when you know where to start. At Sandra Asdourian Interiors, we begin with the floor plan. Therefore, this will determine the size rug. In other words, measure the space you’d like the carpet to fit. As an example, pick a size that frames your furniture. For a large room, use a larger rug. This way, all the furniture sits on the carpet. This 10′ x 14′ is just right and fits under the legs of all the furniture.

Dining Rooms: Selecting the Right Rug Size

For a dining room layout, measure the length and width of your dining table. Also, add two feet on each side for the chairs. Please confirm that the chairs still sit on the rug when the chairs pull out, not the floor. Moreover, most dining tables will require a rug that’s at least eight feet wide. This one is an eight by ten, and you’ll see that there are two feet on either side of the table.

Options for Bedroom: Selecting the Right Size Rug

The rug should extend two-thirds from the bottom of the bed when the bed is against the wall. Similarly, you could also place two runners on each side or a single runner at the foot of the bed.
