THE RUG SIZE GUIDE YOU ACTUALLY NEEDED okay I am saving you from the most common decorating mistake I see (and have made myself, multiple times, no shame). Living Room Your rug should fit ALL front legs of your sofa + chairs on it. If you can only fit a coffee table on it… it’s too small. As a general rule: 8x10 for most living rooms, 9x12 for larger sectional situations. Bedroom Go bigger than you think. You’ll regret it. You want an 8x10 minimum so when you step out of bed, you land on rug, not cold floor. The rug should extend at least 18–24” on each side of the bed. Kitchen Runner Should run the length of your counter area . Entryway Wider than your door. At minimum. Nothing sadder than a tiny square mat in a big entryway. 3x5 is usually the starting point. Dining Room The rug needs to be big enough that chairs stay ON it even when pulled out. 8x10 for a 4-person table, 9x12 for a 6-person. If your chairs slide off the edge every time someone sits down… you know what to do. Save this for the next time you’re rug shopping 🖤 and send it to someone who just moved, they’ll need it!
