When decorating<\/a> your home, area rugs<\/a> are wonderful for warming up a room, adding color, softness and defining a furniture grouping. One of the most common questions that I am asked is about the proper size for an area rug. Many people make the mistake of buying a rug that is too small for their space.<\/p>\n

\"Dining

Dining Room Area Rug<\/p><\/div>\n

When selecting an area rug<\/a> for your Dining room or breakfast room, the rug should be large enough to have all furniture resting on the rug. It is important that the chairs remain on the rug when they are pulled out. To determine the correct size, measure the length and width or diameter of the table. Add 36\u201d for chairs on each side to be sure that your chairs will rest on the rug in the pulled out position. Usually the best sizes for Dining rooms rugs are 8\u2019 x 11\u2019 or 9\u2019 x 12\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"Living

Living Room Area Rug<\/p><\/div>\n

When deciding on a living or family room area rug<\/a> try to have\u00a0 all the furniture or at least the front of the furniture sit on the rug. Recommended sizes are 8\u2019 x 11\u2019 or 9\u2019 x 12\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Bedroom

Bedroom Area Rug<\/p><\/div>\n

In bedrooms, it\u2019s nice when the rug is big enough to take a couple of steps on it when you get out of bed. \u00a0If you like unexpected arrangements, you might consider angling the rug or angle the bed and rug to match. \u00a0Suggested sizes are 8\u2019 x 11\u2019 or 9\u2019 x 12\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
