Area rugs can be used to define and center a space, especially in open floor plans. But, choosing the right size rug can be tricky. If the rug is too big, it can overwhelm the room. And, if it’s too small, the room can feel empty. Consider the following tips when choosing an area rug for your:
Dining Room
Your dining room rug should be large enough to contain your table and all of its chairs, even when the chairs are pulled out away from the table. This way, the chairs’ legs are always sure to sit on a flat surface, rather than teeter over the edge of the rug.
Living Room
There are a number of different ways in which a living room can be arranged, and the correct rug size will depend on how you choose to lay out your furniture. One option is to place a rug in the middle of your couches with a coffee table placed on top. In this scenario, the rug should fit within the interior dimensions of the furniture. Another option is to place all of the furniture on the rug. If you go this route, you’ll want to choose a very large rug that contains all of the furniture with a few additional inches of rug behind each piece.
