Selecting the perfect rug size can transform your space, tying the room together while enhancing functionality and aesthetics. At Persian Rug Gallery, we guide customers in choosing rugs that fit their rooms and their lifestyles. Here’s a detailed guide to help you find the right rug size for every room.
1. Living Room
- General Rule: The rug should anchor your seating area. Ensure the front legs of all furniture rest on the rug.
- Standard Size: 8’x10’ or larger for spacious living rooms; 5’x7’ for smaller setups.
- Tip: Leave 12–18 inches of floor visible around the rug’s edges.
2. Dining Room
- General Rule: The rug should extend at least 24 inches beyond the edges of the dining table to accommodate chairs.
- Standard Size: Choose a rug that’s at least 8’x10’ for a table seating six or more.
- Tip: Match the rug’s shape to the table (e.g., rectangular rug for a rectangular table).
3. Bedroom
- General Rule: Position the rug under the bed, extending at least 18–24 inches beyond the sides and foot of the bed.
- Standard Size: 8’x10’ for a queen bed; 9’x12’ for a king bed.
- Tip: Alternatively, use smaller rugs on either side of the bed for a layered look.
4. Hallways and Entryways
- General Rule: Use runners or small rugs to guide the flow of traffic.
- Standard Size: Hallway runners should leave a few inches of exposed floor on either side.
- Tip: Opt for durable, low-pile rugs for high-traffic areas.
5. Kitchen
- General Rule: Place rugs in high-use areas, such as in front of the sink or stove.
- Standard Size: Small rugs or runners, typically 2’x3’ or 2’x8’.
- Tip: Choose washable, stain-resistant materials for easy maintenance.
Why Rug Size Matters
A correctly sized rug creates balance and harmony in a room, making spaces feel complete and well-designed. Conversely, a rug that’s too small or too large can disrupt the flow and scale of the room.
