    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. 📐🤔
