RUG SIZE AND STYLE GUIDE

01

BEDROOM RUGS

When selecting a rug for your bedroom, ensure ample space surrounds each side of your bed. If the rug mirrors the width of your bed, it might appear undersized or cramped. Conversely, an excessively large rug might overpower the space, disrupting the tranquil ambiance your bedroom deserves to exude.

STYLING TIPS

For an ideal look, ensure your rug extends about 2 feet on three sides of the bed. This guideline translates to a 5’x8’ rug for a Twin, 6’x9’ for a Full, 8’x10’ for a Queen, and 9’x12’ for a King.If your space can't accommodate these sizes, fear not – flexibility is key. If you have a Queen bed but limited room for an 8’x10’ rug, simply position it so a quarter extends past the foot of the bed. Unwilling to commit to a full area rug? Opt for two 2’x3’ rugs flanking the bed or a runner placed at the bed's foot.

Living room

In the living room realm, the rug's size holds the power to define the ambiance entirely. Opt for a rug that's too petite, and the space may feel cramped, leaving your furniture looking mismatched and disconnected. Choose an oversized rug, and it might engulf your furniture, diminishing the room's sense of depth and dimension.

STYLING TIPS

Strive for the Goldilocks effect—a rug that snugly fits the space yet sufficiently ties your furniture ensemble together. Achieving this "just right" balance anchors all elements and fosters an open, inviting ambiance.
When uncertain, opt for a rug large enough for the front legs of your couch and chairs to rest upon. Typically, an 8’x10’ or 6’x9’ rug works splendidly, providing ample space for your furniture arrangement.
In smaller spaces like apartments or studios where a full area rug might not work, aim for a rug accommodating at least two furniture pieces' legs. Alternatively, experiment with layering multiple rug sizes to create the illusion of a larger rug, offering flexibility for future style combinations.

Office room:

Selecting the right rug for your office can significantly influence its overall ambiance and functionality. Consider the following when choosing the perfect rug:

1. Size Matters: Ensure the rug size complements your office space without overpowering it. Avoid rugs that are too small and those that dominate the room.
2. Executive Balance: Opt for a rug that comfortably accommodates your desk and chair while leaving some space around the edges. This choice fosters a cohesive look and a practical workspace.
3. Recommended Sizes: For most office setups, a 6’x9’ or 8’x10’ rug strikes the ideal balance between proportion and functionality.

STYLING TIPS

Here are some tips to style your office with rugs effectively:
Zone Definition: In smaller or multi-functional office areas, consider using multiple rugs to define different zones. A smaller rug beneath the desk and a larger one in the seating area can delineate spaces while maintaining a unified design.
Function Meets Style: Remember, rugs serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. They tie the room together while adding comfort and style to your workspace, so choose wisely!
