How to Arrange an Area Rug: Size and Shape Matter
Choosing the right rug involves more than just color and style. Here’s how size and shape can enhance your space:
General Guidelines
Allow 18 inches of exposed floor space around the rug in enclosed rooms for a balanced look.
Smaller rooms may benefit from less exposed floor space.
Avoid undersized rugs, which can make a room feel cramped. When in doubt, bigger is often better.
Living Room
Arrange your furniture with the rug anchoring the seating area.
Ensure the rug is large enough to fit at least the front legs of sofas and chairs.
Dining Room
Choose a rug that extends 24 inches beyond the table to accommodate pulled-out chairs comfortably.
Bedroom
For queen beds, use an 8’ x 10’ rug; for king beds, opt for a 9’ x 12’ rug.
Position the rug partially under the bed, perpendicular to it, stopping just before the nightstands.
Rug Care Quick Tips
Avoid Beater Bar Vacuum Attachments: For handmade area rugs, use a gentle vacuum without a beater bar to preserve the fibers.
Spot Cleaning Made Easy: Mix a few drops of clear dish soap with warm water and gently dab stains. Avoid scrubbing.
Rotate Regularly: Turn your rugs every 6 months to ensure even fading and wear.
