A quick reference »
1. Living Room: For a cohesive look in your living room, choose a rug that’s large enough for all the furniture legs to sit on it, typically around 8×10 or 9×12 feet for average-sized rooms.
2. Dining Room: In a dining room, the rug should be large enough to accommodate the dining table and chairs, even when the chairs are pulled out, with a recommended size of 8×10 feet or larger.
3. Bedroom: To create a cozy atmosphere in the bedroom, opt for a rug that extends at least two feet beyond the bed on all sides, with common sizes being 8×10 or 9×12 feet for queen or king-sized beds.
4. Small Spaces: In smaller rooms, such as an office or entryway, a 4×6 or 5×7-foot rug can define the space without overwhelming it, offering a balanced look.
5. Open Concept Rooms: For open-concept spaces, use a large rug, like 9×12 feet, to delineate areas such as seating or dining zones, helping to organize the layout visually.
6. Hallways: In long hallways and passageways, choose a runner that’s 2-3 feet wide and at least 6 feet long to add warmth and style, while ensuring it doesn’t completely cover the floor.
7. Nursery or Kids’ Room: A 5×8 or 6×9-foot rug in a nursery provides a soft play area and balances the room’s scale, fitting comfortably beneath a crib and other small furniture.
8. Home Office: In a home office, a 6×9-foot rug can comfortably fit under a desk and chair, anchoring the workspace while allowing enough room for movement.
What is the best rug size for a room?
It all depends upon the room and the area where you will be placing the rug. If you have a big room, then a rug ranging from medium-size 8×10′ to oversized depending upon how big your room is will be suitable. For a coffee table, a ‘small’ size rug will do the job.
And for the bedroom, same as the living room, you can opt for sizes from medium, large, oversized and runners as per your requirement. Doesn’t matter if you are placing it in a study room or a bedroom. It all depends upon the space and size of the room not to mention your furniture.
You need to form a mental image of the same while choosing a rug size.
How to find the best rug size for any room?
Before anything, like mentioned earlier, one must consider all the elements present in the particular room that is furniture and space and how much area to cover to keep that balance.
Also, one needs to be thorough with the measurements of the area you are placing your rug in.
It is a rule of thumb that the bigger the space, the bigger the rug. Smaller the space, the smaller size you should opt for.
When choosing a rug for a small room, you should opt for a small rug. It will eventually make the room look spacious.
Likewise, when selecting one for a bigger, you should opt for a big rug. In such a scenario, if you opt for a smaller than required rug, it will make the space look very much unwelcoming.
This rule of thumb balances it out and makes it look very well put together. Different rug sizes are there for different purposes. Some to make a room spacious, some to cover the area and make it look filled.
