Rug Size Guide

Choosing the right size rug can make a room feel bigger, cozier, and more put-together. Here are our recommendations:

Living Room

  • Small room: 8′ x 10′ — front legs of the sofa sit on the rug
  • Medium room: 9′ x 12′ — sofa and coffee table fully on the rug
  • Large room: 10′ x 14′ — anchors the entire seating area
  • Rule of thumb: leave at least 18 inches of bare floor around the edges

Bedroom

  • Under a queen bed: 8′ x 10′
  • Under a king bed: 9′ x 12′
  • On each side of the bed: 2.6′ x 8′ runners
  • Tip: the rug should extend at least 18 inches on each side of the bed

Dining Room

  • The rug should extend at least 24 inches beyond the table on all sides
  • This keeps chair legs on the rug when chairs are pulled out
  • Rectangular tables pair with rectangular rugs; round tables pair with round or oval rugs

Hallway / Entry

  • Standard runner: 2.6′ x 6′ or 2.6′ x 8′
  • Entryway: 3′ x 5′ or a 4′ round rug
  • Tip: measure your hallway before ordering — runners come in standard lengths

Home Office

  • 4′ x 6′ works under most desks
  • Make sure the chair moves smoothly on and off the rug

Tips

  • When in doubt, size up. A rug that’s too small can make a room feel disconnected.
  • Measure your space before ordering.
  • A rug pad is recommended for all sizes.
