Rug size guide: living room, bedroom, dining
A small rug makes the room look smaller.
The most common rug mistake is a 5 × 8 floating in front of the sofa. The sizes that work: front legs of every seat on the rug (an 8 × 10 for an 84″ sofa), 12–18″ of bare floor at the walls, queen bed 8 × 10 and king 9 × 12 laid across the bed, and a dining rug 24″ bigger than the table on every side so chairs stay on it.
