GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE PERFECT RUG

We love rugs! They help complete a space by adding color, depth and warmth all at the same time. They can take a room from feeling cold and bland to warm and cozy in a matter of seconds. But knowing what size rug you need or how to place it in your space can feel daunting. We’re here to break down exactly what rug works in what space and how to place the rug in each room of your home.

The Ultimate Guide to the Right Rug Size and Placement in any room

*** Pro tip: If furniture is floating in the room and the room is big you can have a rug that is big enough for all furniture to sit on the rug.

  • Feet should always rest on a rug
  • Front legs of furniture always on rug
  • At least 6 inches should remain open on each side of the rug
