The right rug can completely anchor a room, but choosing the correct size is key. A common mistake is getting a rug that's too small, which can make a space feel disjointed.
Here’s a simple rule of thumb to follow:
1) For living rooms: Your rug should be large enough for at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs to rest on it. This creates a unified conversation area.
2) For dining rooms: Ensure the rug extends far enough beyond the table so that the chairs remain on the rug, even when pulled out.
3) For bedrooms: The rug should frame the bed, extending at least 18-24 inches on either side.
Getting the scale right connects all your furniture and makes the entire room feel more cohesive and intentionally designed.
