Area Rug Sizes
An area rug, as you may already know, is not intended to cover the entire floor of any particular room. That raises another question: how large should the area rug you buy be? Well, there are some guidelines to help you make the right choice.
For starters, your area rug's size depends on where you are going to be placing it in your room. A common area rug location is in the living room under the coffee table. Generally, these area rugs are either 4' X 6' or 6' X 9' depending on the size of your room and of your table. Remember it's important that the entire coffee table fits on the area rug – you don't want half of the table hanging off. Not only will that make the table uneven but it just won't look good.
Additionally, the area should be about the same length as your sofa and other furnishings. That means you'll need to measure the pieces and bring those measurements along while you shop for area rugs.
Another common room location for area rugs is the dining room. Typically, dining rooms require larger area rugs. The most common size is about 8 feet wide. You need a wider area rug because you need your entire dining room table and chairs to fit on the rug, even when the chairs are pulled out. Make sure you measure accordingly so you won't end up with an area rug that is too narrow for your needs.
If you want an area rug that takes up a larger amount of space, ideally you should choose a size that is going to allow an equal amount of flooring on all sides of the area rug. That means you should measure your room, then subtract an equal amount of space from each of the sides in order to decide what size area rug you need.
