Choosing the Perfect Rug

Our Guide to Choosing the Right Size Rug

Selecting a rug can be a daunting task. Follow these placement tips to take the guesswork out of finding the right size rug for your space.

Living Room Tips

  • The front legs of your sofa and chairs should fit on top of the rug.  
  • When in doubt, go big. Choosing a too-small rug can make your space feel smaller than it is.  
  • For gracious spaces, aim for a generously sized fit so all furniture sits completely within its borders.  
  • Always allow for at least 1 foot between the rug and walls to avoid it looking like wall-to-wall carpeting.
