SELECTING A SIZE


Now that you know what sizes are available, how should you decide what will work in your home or office?
Determining the “correct” size rug(s) for your space is not an exact science, but the guidelines below may help in your decision.

When considering a room size rug, you should first measure the entire space. We suggest leaving a border of floor showing around the entire room, making the room appear larger and enhancing the look of your room. The type of room and furniture placement will have a lot to do with what size rug(s) you should consider. Making a rough drawing of your space, including dimensions and furniture placement, can be very helpful.


How to Select the Right Rug Size

Measure your space: Start by measuring your room and considering the layout of your furniture.
Leave a border: Rugs generally look best when there’s 12–18 inches of floor visible around the rug perimeter.
Think about function: For high-traffic areas or under dining tables, ensure the rug is large enough for all furniture legs.
Visualize with tape: Use painter’s tape to outline the rug on your floor before purchasing.
