Size: This tends to be a common question and mistake made my clients. A good rule of thumb is to base your rug size of the smallest wall in the room and subtract 2’. For example if you have a 10 x 16 room your rug size be no smaller than 8x14.
Dining Rooms: The rule of thumb is the rug should extend at least 18” past the ends and sides of the table to accommodate the chairs when they are pulled out when in use and still remain on the rug.
Large Rooms: Select a rug which works within the overall use of the space, for example a large room may be set up in two separate conversation areas thus rather than one large rug you would place two rugs to appropriate size for the separate spaces although both in one room
Bedrooms: Incorporate runner rugs on each side of the bed or select a larger rug and place it with 1/3 of the rug under the bed.
