Area rug sizing guide
The right rug size can make furniture feel connected instead of floating. Use this as a starting point, then compare colors and patterns with Carpet Tech.
Living rooms
- A rug often looks best when at least the front legs of seating sit on the rug.
- Too-small rugs can make a room feel disconnected.
- Bring room measurements and furniture layout photos when asking about rugs.
Dining rooms
- Choose a rug large enough that chairs stay on the rug when pulled back.
- Consider cleanability, traffic, and pattern scale.
- Measure the table plus chair movement space before visiting.
Bedrooms
- Rugs can sit under the bed with space extending around the sides, or be used as runners.
- Soft texture and color warmth often matter more in bedrooms.
- Send rug favorites through the inquiry form for availability and pricing follow-up.
