A Guide to Rug Sizes (By Room)
Now that you know about the different types of rugs, it's time to find out what rug sizes best suit the spaces throughout your house. So, let's take a tour, shall we?
The Best Rug Size for Your Dining Room
What to consider
The size of the room and the number of people your table can seat.
Treat your rug as a way to style up your space and frame your seating area.
Advice
The rug should be able to easily fit the entire table and chairs, even when the latter are pulled back. To achieve this, aim for a rug that extends 60 cm (24 in) from the table on every side.
The Best Rug Size for Your Dining Room
What to consider
The size of your kitchen, as well as the size of your island or counter.
Advice
Not only do you spend a lot of time standing in the kitchen, it's also a space that's prone to spills. With that in mind, choose a vinyl, padded, or foam rug that's easy on your feet and resistant to water and stains.
The Best Rug Size for the Living Room
What to consider
It's important to consider the size of your living room and all the furniture present (couches, armchairs, TV furniture, coffee and side tables, etc.). This helps determine how much space is available for your rug.
Advice
Don't clutter your space. The rug should serve to delineate your living room from the rest of the house and ensure you're comfortable, but also respect the space that's available.
The Best Rug Size for Your Bedroom
What to consider
The size of your bed and bedroom.
Advice
Your bedroom can have multiple rugs placed in different strategic positions (alongside or at the foot of the bed), or have one single rug that covers the majority of the floor.
