From size to material, we took the guesswork out of choosing the right rug for every room.
Start With Size
When searching for a rug, the most daunting task is the first step: what size? Here, we break down
the
process room by room, making everything from size to placement a breeze.
Design Tips
The front legs of sofas and chairs should sit on the rug.
Leave at least 6” of rug space on each side of the furniture.
Make sure there is at least 1’ of exposed floor between the
rug and walls. This further anchors
an arrangement, rather than looking like wall-to-wall
carpet.
For a much larger room, opt for a rug that is large enough to
contain all four legs of sofas,
chairs, coffee tables or side tables.
For an easy update that makes a big impact, style a smaller rug on top of a larger area rug to
bring depth and
visual interest to any arrangement.
Get The Look
Start with a neutral base, like a textured sisal or nubby jute. Next, layer a
smaller rug, like a
colorful flat weave, soft wool rug or genuine hide, on top.
The top rug should be roughly 2/3 the size of the base.
This is a great way to showcase smaller, special rugs that would otherwise look
undersized.
