How do I choose the right rug size for my room?
The size of the space, how the furniture is arranged, and the area you wish to cover all play a role in selecting the appropriate rug size. Large carpets in the living room work well for rooms that are roomy and can fit any type of furniture. Most living rooms can accommodate medium-sized carpets, which look best under the front legs of couches and chairs. Little rugs, placed in front of the sofa with the front legs on the rug, look great in compact rooms. Make sure all dining room chairs can be pulled out and rest comfortably on the carpeting. Large rugs in bedrooms ought to reach past the sides and foot of the bed. Rugs of a medium size should reach at least 18 to 24 inches past the bed. You can put runners or smaller rugs next to the bed.
