Rug placement plays a crucial role in defining spaces, enhancing aesthetics, and improving functionality in any home. The right rug size and positioning can transform a room, making it feel balanced and inviting. At Persian Rug Gallery, we guide homeowners in selecting and positioning rugs to complement their interiors beautifully. Here’s how to get rug placement right for different areas of your home.
1. Living Room: Anchor the Space
- Large Rugs: The rug should be big enough to fit under all furniture or at least have the front legs of sofas and chairs resting on it.
- Small Rugs: If using a smaller rug, center it under the coffee table to define the seating area.
✅ Tip: Ensure there’s at least 6-12 inches of floor space around the edges of the rug.
2. Dining Room: Comfort and Proportion
- The rug should extend at least 24 inches beyond the edges of the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
- Round rugs complement round dining tables, while rectangular rugs work best with long tables.
✅ Tip: Use a stain-resistant or easy-to-clean rug in this high-spill area.
3. Bedroom: Softness Underfoot
- Large Rugs: Place a large rug under the bed, extending at least 18-24 inches on each side for a plush landing when getting out of bed.
- Small Rugs: Use two runners on either side of the bed for added comfort.
✅ Tip: Ensure the rug size matches the scale of the bed and bedroom layout.
4. Hallways & Entryways: Define the Path
- Runners should be centered and leave a few inches of floor visible on each side.
- Entryway rugs should be large enough to accommodate foot traffic but not overwhelm the space.
✅ Tip: Use rugs with non-slip pads to prevent movement in high-traffic areas.
5. Kitchen: Add Comfort and Warmth
- Runners work well in galley kitchens, placed along the prep area.
- A small rug in front of the sink adds comfort and style.
✅ Tip: Choose washable rugs or those made from durable, easy-to-clean materials.
6. Outdoor Spaces: Extend Your Living Area
- Use weather-resistant rugs on patios, decks, or balconies to create a cozy ambiance.
- Place them under outdoor seating or dining furniture for a cohesive look.
✅ Tip: Ensure outdoor rugs are mold- and fade-resistant for durability.
