Finding the perfect rug for your apartment is an art that can significantly enhance your living space. The right rug size not only defines the area but also ties together your decor elements harmoniously. Here's how to pick the right size for each room in your apartment.
Living Room Tips
For your living room, measure the seating area and choose a rug that fits under the front legs of your sofas and chairs. This helps in creating a unified seating area. If your space allows, go for a larger rug that fits all furniture legs on it, creating a grand and luxurious feel.
Dining Room Guidelines
For the dining room, the rug should be large enough to cover the dining table and chairs, even when they are pulled out. A general guideline is to select a rug that extends 24 inches from the edge of the table on all sides. This not only adds to the aesthetic but also protects your flooring from scratches.
Bedroom Placement
In the bedroom, place the rug under the bed, allowing it to extend beyond the sides and foot. This not only adds a plush feel underfoot but also frames your bed, making the room appear more spacious and inviting. For smaller rooms or under twin beds, a runner or smaller rug on either side of the bed can also be effective.
Hallway and Narrow Spaces
For narrow spaces like hallways, choose a runner that leaves a few inches of flooring visible on both sides. This adds a stylish touch without overwhelming the narrow space.
