Living Room
When looking for a living room rug, consider your furniture and take note of the various layout options. If it’s an open floor plan, the rug should help define the space and improve the acoustics.
-
10' x 13' Rugs
Shop 10' x 13' RugsA 10’ x 13’ rug fits in a large room that is at least 11'6" x 15'6" feet. Allow for 18-36" of visible floor space between the perimeter of the rug and the wall. Use seating space or bed space to determine placement, not necessarily the center of the room.
-
8' x 11' Rugs
Shop 8' x 11' RugsAn 8' x 11' rug fits in a 12' x 18' or larger living room, or in an open floor plan space. This rug should be large enough to accommodate most of your furniture, accessories, and decor elements, giving your space a more unified look.
-
7' x 10' Rugs
Shop 7' x 10' RugsA 7' x 10' rug fits nicely in an 11' x 13' or slightly larger room, or in an open floor plan space. In a defined living area, the best layout leaves a 12"-18" border of flooring around your rug.
-
6' x 9' Rugs
Shop 6' x 9' RugsA 6' x 9' rug works best in an 11' x 13' or smaller living room. This leaves about 2' of flooring bordering the rug on each side.
-
5' x 8' Rugs
Shop 5' x 8' RugsIn a small living room, a 5' x 8' rug will fit underneath a coffee table, or in front of a fireplace with two comfy chairs sitting almost completely on the rug.
-
4' x 6' Rugs
Shop 4' x 6' RugsA 4’ x 6’ rug should be big enough to cover most of the floor area of a small, apartment-size living room. It’s also a great addition to any other living space, such as the area under the coffee table in front of the couch (front legs off the rug) in medium-size living rooms.
-
3' x 5' Rugs
Shop 3' x 5' RugsA 3' x 5' rug offers added cushioning and is the perfect size to highlight and elevate a living room landing place.
Dining Room
A good rule of thumb is to choose a rug that's 4 feet larger than your dining table. The rug should be spacious enough to accommodate all dining chairs comfortably, even when they are pulled out from the table.
-
Large Table
Shop 10' x 13' RugsA table for eight or more fits best on a 10' x 13' rug, offering enough room for all chairs to be on the rug when seated.
-
Medium Table
Shop 8' x 11' RugsA table for six fits best on an 8' x 11' rug, leaving room on all sides for the dining chairs to be moved easily while staying on the rug.
-
Hallway
Our runner rugs are the perfect functional addition to your home’s narrow corridors. For added comfort while walking, we recommend using a rug pad underneath.
Bedroom
When choosing the right rug size, focus on the size of your bed. Placing a large area rug under the bed is most common, and becomes the focal point of the room. A smaller rug next to the bed works well as an accent, and gives your feet something soft to land on.
-
King Bed
Shop 10' x 13' RugsA 10' x 13' rug works best with a king bed. The rug sits almost completely under the bed and nightstands, leaving about 2' of soft rug underfoot around the bed.
-
Queen Bed
Shop 8' x 11' RugsAn 8' x 11' rug covers a queen bed and nightstands, with 3' of rug on either side of the bed, while a 6' x 9' rug gives an 18" border on each side.
-
Full Bed
Shop 6' x 9' RugsA 6' x 9' rug fits nicely under a full bed, or opt for two 3' x 5' rugs on either side of the bed for added cushioning.
-
Twin Bed
Shop 5' x 8' RugsAn 8' x 11', 6' x 9', or 5' x 8' rug all fit nicely under a twin bed, leaving ample room around the border. Two 3' x 5' or smaller rugs also work perfectly on either side of the bed.
-
Double Twin Beds
Shop 3' x 5' RugsThe best option is to place a 3' x 5' rug between the two beds. Alternatively, place a runner rug across the middle of the beds.
Kitchen
When choosing a rug for the kitchen, consider the size and layout of your space. As a rule of thumb, the area in front of the sink is the most functional place to put your rug. A rug pad offers an extra layer of support for your feet.
-
Large Kitchen
Shop 5' x 8' RugsA larger kitchen over 200 ft2 can most likely handle a 4' x 6' or 5' x 8' rug. If you have a kitchen island, position a 3' x 5', 4' x 6', 5' x 8', or a runner rug on either or both sides of the island.
-
Medium Kitchen
Shop 4' x 6' RugsFor a medium kitchen between 100-200 ft2, a smaller 3' x 5' or '4' x 6' rug, or a runner rug in front of the sink, may work best.
-
Small Kitchen
Shop 2' x 3' RugsA small kitchen that is under 70 ft2 can easily feel cluttered. Depending on your layout, opt for a 2' x 3' or 3' x 5' rug in front of the sink.
-
Long Kitchen
Shop Runner RugsFor a long, galley-style kitchen over 10 ft2 long, a runner rug along the sink side of the kitchen works best. If the galley is more narrow, position the runner in the center of the kitchen.
Outdoor
Use the layout of your furniture and the dimensions of your patio, deck, or porch as a guide to selecting the size of an outdoor rug. For the best look, leave 12-24" of visible floor space around your rug.
-
Medium to Large Spaces
Shop Outdoor RugsFor more spacious patios and decks with outdoor seating or dining sets, opt for a larger area rug in 5' x 8', 6' x 9', or 8' x 11'. Choose a size that’s large enough to frame the furniture you want to highlight.
-
Entryways and Small Spaces
Shop DoormatsFor smaller spaces, a 3' x 5' rug will fit nicely underneath a small patio table and two chairs. You can also opt for a 2' x 3' doormat by the entryway for a more streamlined look.
