Rug Sizing
Proper rug sizing and placement are key to enhancing room decor. The right rug size complements the space, defines the area, and balances furniture. A rug that's too small can make the room feel cramped or imbalanced, while the correct size creates a refined, cohesive look and improves acoustics.
A 5' x 7' or 6' x 9' rug is an excellent choice for smaller rooms, offering style and functionality without overwhelming the space. To create a balanced look, position the rug centrally in the room, allowing it to serve as a visual anchor while keeping the legs of sofas and chairs off the rug. This arrangement maintains an open feel and encourages a more spacious atmosphere. Ensure there are at least 18 inches of exposed floor around the edges to enhance flow and avoid a cramped appearance.
5' x 7' Rug
6' x 9' Rug
8' x 10" Rug
An 8' x 10' rug is perfect for styling a mid-sized living room, offering a cozy and well-balanced layout. For optimal placement, position the front legs of your sofa and chairs on therugwhile keeping the back legs off to maintain a sense of openness. This helps define the seating area without overwhelming the room. Alternatively, in smaller spaces, the rug can sit fully under the coffee table with furniture surrounding it. This size rug adds warmth, ties together your furniture, and creates a comfortable, inviting space.
10' x 13' Rug
A 10' x 13' rug is ideal for anchoring a large living room, offering both style and function. To create a balanced look, place the rug so that all main furniture pieces, like sofas and chairs, have their front legs on it. This arrangement helps to define the seating area and brings the room together cohesively. Ensure at least 12-18 inches of exposed floor around the edges to maintain a spacious feel. A 10' x 13' rug adds warm focus in the center of the room.
When sizing a rug for a dining room, aim for a rug that extends at least 24 inches beyond the edges of the dining table on all sides to ensure that chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out. This not only creates a cohesive look but also protects your flooring and provides a comfortable space for guests to sit. For a rectangular table, a 9' x 12' rug is often a suitable choice, while an 8' round rug can complement a round table nicely. Additionally, consider the overall proportions of the room; the rug should be large enough to define the dining area without overwhelming the space, maintaining at least 18 inches of exposed floor around the edges for a balanced feel. Ultimately, selecting the right size rug enhances the dining experience and adds warmth to the room.

10' Round Rug
When selecting rugs for kitchens, both 3' x 8' runners and 2' x 3' mats serve practical and aesthetic purposes. A 3' x 8' runner is ideal for placement alongside a kitchen island or in front of the sink, providing comfort underfoot while adding a decorative touch. Position the runner so that it extends several inches beyond the cabinetry or furniture for a cohesive look, ensuring that it can withstand foot traffic and spills.

2' x 3' Mat
For smaller areas, such as in front of a stove or kitchen entryway, a 2' x 3' mat works perfectly. Place the mat where it can catch spills or debris, providing a soft surface while protecting your flooring. Ensure that the mat is positioned to avoid tripping hazards and is easy to clean. Utilizing both runners and mats in the kitchen can enhance the overall design, adding warmth and texture while creating defined spaces within this busy area.
King Bed
When sizing and positioning a rug under a king bed, aim for a rug that is at least 8' x 11' to ensure it extends well beyond the edges of the bed. This allows for a balanced look and creates a soft landing area for your feet when getting in and out of bed. Ideally, the rug should extend 18 to 24 inches on each side and at the foot of the bed. Position the rug so that the headboard sits on or against a wall, with the rug centered beneath the bed..
King 3' x 8' Runner
A runner rug measuring 3' x 8' works well in front of the bed, positioned either at the foot. Ensure it extends at least 18 inches beyond the edges of the bed for a balanced look. This arrangement allows for a comfortable transition from the bed to the floor while adding warmth and texture to the bedroom decor.
Full/Queen Bed
When sizing a rug for a queen-sized bed, both 6' x 9' and 8' x 11' rugs can create a stylish and functional foundation for the space. For a 6' x 9' rug, position it under the bed so that it extends at least 18 to 24 inches beyond the sides and the foot of the bed. This arrangement allows for a soft landing area when getting in and out of bed while defining the sleeping area. An 8' x 11' rug provides even more coverage, making it ideal for a more luxurious look. Place it under the bed with at least 24 inches of rug visible at the foot and sides.
Twin Bed
For a twin bed, using a rug that measures either 5' x 7' or 6' x 9' can significantly enhance the room's comfort and aesthetic. Position the rug so that it is centered under the bed, allowing it to extend at least 18 inches beyond the sides and foot of the bed. This arrangement creates a cozy landing area when getting in and out of bed while defining the sleeping space. The 5' x 7' rug provides a more compact look, suitable for smaller rooms, while the 6' x 9' rug offers additional coverage and a more spacious feel. Make sure to leave about 18 inches of exposed floor around the edges of the rug to maintain a balanced appearance in the room.
2' x 3' Mat
When selecting a rug for a twin bed, a 2' x 3' rug is an excellent choice for positioning next to the bed to enhance the room's design and functionality. Place the rug beside the bed to provide a soft landing area for your feet when getting in and out of bed. Ideally, position it so that the longer side of the rug runs parallel to the bed for a harmonious look.
2' x 3' Mat
A 2' x 3' mat is an ideal choice for placing next to a bathtub in a bathroom, providing both style and functionality. Position the mat so that it sits just outside the tub, allowing for a soft landing area when stepping out while also catching any water drips. Ensure the mat is made from absorbent materials to help keep the floor dry and maintain safety.

Important Rug Care Considerations
- Shedding is a common issue for many rugs and depends on their construction and materials. While shedding usually decreases over time, some rugs may continue to shed lightly throughout use.
- 20-25 vacuuming sessions are typically needed to significantly reduce shedding, though this may vary with foot traffic.
- Hand-tufted rugs tend to shed the most, while machine-made rugs shed least.
- Rugs made from wool and viscose are more prone to shedding, whereas those made from polypropylene, olefin, polyester, acrylic, recycled PET yarn, and nylon shed less.
- When first unrolled, rugs often have creases or curling due to being stored or shipped. These creases typically relax within a week or two.
- Reverse rolling the rug overnight can help flatten stubborn creases.
- If any sprouts appear, trim them to maintain the rug's smooth appearance.
- Sprouts, or loose fibers, can emerge from the rug's surface as part of the natural break-in process. This occurrence varies with construction and materials.
- Trim sprouts carefully with scissors to even them with the surrounding fibers.
- Avoid pulling sprouts out, as this can cause damageand more sprouting.
- Hand-hooked rugs are more likely to have sprouts, while machine-made rugs are less prone to this issue.
- Handmade rugs may have slight variations in design, color, and size (typically 3% to 5%), which are natural and not considered defects.
- Machine-made rugs may also show minor size fluctuations (up to 2%), which are normal and within acceptable standards.
- New rugs may emit an odor due to the natural materials, backing, or packaging used during shipping. This is a temporary condition that usually fades after airing out the rug.
- If the odor persists, removing the packaging and placing the rug in a well-ventilated space will help it dissipate more quickly.
- To lessen the visible effects of fading, rotate your rug every 4 months to ensure even wear.
- Exposure to direct sunlight leads to quicker color loss compared to indirect light.
- Over time, rugs naturally lose color, regardless of their fade-resistant properties.
- Rugs made from jute and wool are especially susceptible to fading.
- Polypropylene and recycled PET yarn are highly resistant to fading because they are dyed during production.
- Polyester, acrylic, recycled PET yarn, and nylon show less fading compared to natural fibers.
Rug Pads
Rug pads offer a durable, long-lasting foundation for your rugs. They provide extra cushioning and comfort, while also protecting the floors underneath. By minimizing movement, bunching, and slipping, rug pads help keep your rug in place.
In addition to enhancing comfort, rug pads extend the life of your rug by reducing wear and tear and improving air circulation between the rug and floor. They also help prevent accidents by keeping the rug securely in position.
Rug pads are versatile and protect various flooring types, including hard surfaces and carpets. However, they should not be used on vinyl, lacquered, acrylic, or porous surfaces. Always check the floor manufacturer’s recommendations.
To ensure a proper fit and prevent tripping, trim the rug pad to be about an inch shorter than the rug on all sides. You can easily cut rug pads with a sturdy pair of household scissors.
