Choosing the proper rug size is essential to achieving a balanced and visually appealing interior space. A rug that is too small can make a room feel disjointed, while a rug that is too large can overwhelm the space. Here are a few tips from Mammoth Rugs on how to pick the proper rug size for any space:
1) Determine the Room's Purpose
The size of your rug will depend on the room's purpose. For example, if you're choosing a rug for a living room, you'll want a larger rug that can accommodate all of your furniture. On the other hand, if you're choosing a rug for a bedroom, a smaller rug that can be placed at the foot of the bed may be sufficient.
2) Measure Your Space
Before choosing a rug, measure your space to determine the appropriate size. Use a tape measure to measure the length and width of the room, and consider the placement of furniture when determining the rug's dimensions.
3) Leave Space Around the Edges
When selecting a rug size, it's important to leave space around the edges of the room. A good rule of thumb is to leave 12-18 inches of flooring exposed around the edges of the rug. This creates a balanced and visually appealing look.
4) Consider Furniture Placement
If you're choosing a rug for a living room or dining room, consider the placement of furniture when selecting the size of your rug. Ideally, all of the furniture should be able to sit on the rug. In a dining room, the rug should be large enough to accommodate the table and chairs, with enough space to pull out chairs and sit comfortably.
5) Layer Rugs for Smaller Spaces
If you have a smaller space, you can create the illusion of a larger rug by layering two smaller rugs. This can add visual interest and create a cozy, layered look.
