Living Room
For a living room, choose a size that allows the rug to sit comfortably under your furniture.
Popular choices: 5′ × 7′, 6′ × 9′, 8′ × 10′, and 9′ × 12′.
Tip: For a larger room, placing at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug helps create a connected and balanced look.
Bedroom
A larger rug can extend beyond the sides and foot of your bed, creating a soft and comfortable area around it.
Popular choices: 5′ × 7′, 6′ × 9′, 8′ × 10′, and 9′ × 12′.
Dining Room
Choose a rug large enough to keep the dining table and chairs comfortably on the rug, even when the chairs are pulled out.
Tip: Leave approximately 24 inches of extra rug space around the table whenever possible.
Entryway
For entryways and smaller spaces, runners and compact rugs work beautifully.
Popular choices: 2′ × 3′, 3′ × 5′, and custom-size runners.

Measuring Tip 📏
Before ordering, use painter’s tape or masking tape to mark the proposed rug dimensions on your floor. Step back and view the space from different angles to make sure the size works with your furniture and room layout.
Please Note: Rug dimensions may have a small variation because our rugs are handmade. Always check the individual product listing for the exact available sizes.
