Area Rug Sizing

When choosing the size of rug to buy, the basic rule of thumb is to choose a rug that is two feet shorter than the smallest wall in the room (e.g. a 10x12-foot room would need a rug no bigger than eight feet wide). Beyond that, there are many other factors to consider depending on the space utilizing the area rug. So we’ve broken them down by room type.

Hall – rugs should leave at least six inches of floor showing on all sides. Also make sure to swing open the front door and measure the floor from that point so the first three feet or so remain clear.

Dining Room – rugs should extend at least 18 inches beyond the edge of the table so that the rug is situated under the dinning chairs as well.

Bedroom – rugs can be placed one-third of the way under the bed so the rest of the rug creates a nice mat at the end of the bed. Also try placing runners on the sides of the bed as well as at the foot of the bed.

Living Rooms – rugs should fit the configuration of the room and furniture arrangements. If you have one main conversation area, choose a rug large enough to sit under at least the front third of the furniture. If you have two smaller conversation areas in a room, feel free to try two separate rugs as long as they match in color or material.

No matter what space you’re filling, count on Rug Décor to help you find the perfect area rug!
