Living Room

For a spacious living room, opt for larger rugs that can accommodate all furniture pieces. A common size is 8x10 or larger, depending on the room dimensions.

Bedroom

Place a rug under the bed extending on both sides. Sizes like 5x8 or 8x10 work well to ensure it peeks out from under the bed.

Dining Room

Choose a rug that is large enough to fit the dining table and chairs, even when the chairs are pulled out. An 8x10 rug is typically a good choice for standard dining sets.

High-Traffic Areas

In spaces like hallways or living rooms, durable materials such as wool or synthetic blends are ideal. These materials are resistant to wear and easy to clean.

Comfort and Luxury

For bedrooms or lounges, consider plush materials like silk blends or high-quality wool for a soft and luxurious feel.

Natural Fibers

Jute and sisal rugs offer a natural, textured look, perfect for adding an organic element to any room. They are also durable but may not be as soft underfoot.

Living Room

Ensure the front legs of your sofa and chairs are on the rug to create a cohesive seating area.

Bedroom

Place the rug under the bed, extending out on the sides and foot of the bed to create a cozy perimeter.

Dining Room

Center the rug under the table and ensure it extends beyond the chairs, allowing them to be pulled out without leaving the rug.

Ease of Cleaning

Synthetic fibers are generally easier to clean and maintain. Regular vacuuming and prompt attention to spills are key to keeping any rug looking its best.

Longevity

Investing in a high-quality rug pad can extend the life of your rug by preventing slipping and adding extra cushioning.
