An Area Rug Sizing Guide: Choosing The Right Rug Measurements

July 22, 2022
Some people purchase area rugs because they want to improve the look or style of their room. However, such floor coverings offer more benefits than that. These include decreasing the noise in your space and serving as your room’s anchor and foundation.

There are different area rug sizes available in the market today, so it can be difficult to learn which one is right for your room. To help you, here’s an area rug sizing guide you should follow:
  • Bedroom
    An area rug in your bedroom can make the space feel warm and cozy. It also provides a soft and comfortable spot for your feet to land on each time you get off your bed.

    Choosing the right area rug size for your bedroom depends on how big your bed and space are. If you have a king-size bed, for example, a 9'x12' area rug might be best for you.
  • Dining Room
    Placing an area rug in your dining room can add warmth and texture to the space. Whichever rug shape you choose, it can complement your furniture in the area.

    One important consideration when choosing the right rug size for your dining room is your table measurements. For instance, if you have a rectangular table with six chairs, consider an 8'x10' area rug.
  • Living Room
    Having an area rug in your living room can enhance your home décor and warm up your space. It can also help protect your floor from scratch marks caused by sharp objects or pet claws.

    The perfect rug size for your living area also depends on how large the space is. If your common room is 12'x18' or larger, then a 9'x12' area rug would be enough to accommodate your accessories and furniture.
