Hello! Struggling to pick the right size rug for my living room. Anyone have a foolproof method or tips on what works best for different layouts?

One handy trick is to measure your seating area and aim to have at least the front legs of your furniture resting on the rug. This helps create a unified look and defines the seating area nicely. Another thing to keep in mind is the shape of your rug. For a rectangular room, a rectangular rug often works best, but don't be afraid to mix it up with a round rug for a bit of visual interest! 😉👍👌

Living room rug struggle? Try: all furniture on rug for a pulled-together look. Measure & tape out rug sizes on the floor to visualize. Wider rug for long rooms, bigger rug for open floor plans. Here's a size guide to start (measure!): small living room (12'x15') - 5'x8' rug, average living room (15'x20') - 8'x10' rug, large living room (20'x25') - 9'x12' rug or bigger.

Hey there! Rug sizing can be tricky, but here's a pro tip: aim for your rug to fit under your main furniture pieces like your sofa and chairs, or at least the front legs. It helps anchor the space! 🤔 And don't forget to leave some floor space around the edges for a balanced look. Happy rug hunting!

A common rule is to leave about 18 inches of bare floor around the rug's edges. It helps define the space without making it look crowded. 😊

To choose the perfect rug size for your living room, consider the size and layout of the room, the furniture arrangement, and the desired aesthetic. Generally, opt for a rug large enough to fit all or most of your furniture on it, leaving at least a few inches of space between the rug's edges and the walls for balance and proportion. 📐🤔
