How big should my Small Area Rugs be?

 To make the space appear larger and more connected, the design of your living room, not just the furniture, should govern the size and position of the Small Area Rugs. All furniture legs sit on the rug, just the front legs on the rug, or all furniture – except the coffee table – off the rug are the three main patterns. When you have your small area rugs custom-made, you have the option of having them manufactured to your exact specifications. This is a huge benefit of having your rug custom-made, especially if your area necessitates a non-standard size.

When it comes to furniture layout, rug size is important.

A rug that may be too small detracts from the design by creating an unfinished, ugly floating impression. Small Area Rugs that are too huge for your space, on the other hand, will make the room appear cramped and overstuffed. What is our recommendation? Avoid these eventualities by using the measurements of your room to help you choose the right rug size for your environment.

How to Measure the Size of a Room for Rugs

There is a plethora of sizing resources online that offer rug recommendations based on common room measurements, but a reasonable rule of thumb is to choose a rug that is two feet shorter than the space's shortest wall. For a 10'x12' room, for example, consider an 8'x10' rug, a 5'x 8' rug for a 7'x10' room, or a 3'x5' accent rug for a 5'x7' room.
