Inspiration for Every Room

Area rugs are more than just decorative elements—they’re the unsung heroes of home design. A well-chosen rug can tie a room together, define spaces, and add personality and warmth to any setting. Whether you’re redefining your living room, updating your bedroom, or perfecting your dining room, the right rug is an effortless way to elevate your space. Let this lookbook guide you with inspiration and practical tips for every room, complete with our featured visual guide to rug sizes.

Living Room Elegance

In the living room, your rug sets the tone for the entire space. Our rug size guide illustrates ideal layouts for various furniture configurations, from spacious seating arrangements with 12’x15’ rugs to compact setups where a 5’x8’ rug is perfect for apartments and smaller rooms. 

Key Points:

  • Choose a rug large enough to anchor all major furniture pieces.

  • Leave 12-18 inches of bare floor between the rug and walls.

  • Geometric patterns add a modern touch, while Persian designs exude timeless elegance.

Bedroom Comfort

Start and end your day in comfort by selecting the perfect rug size for your bedroom. According to our size guide, a king-sized bed pairs beautifully with a 12’x15’ rug, while a queen-sized bed works well with an 8’x10’. 

Key Points:

  • Ensure the rug extends 18-24 inches beyond the bed for added luxury.

  • High-pile rugs offer a plush and cozy texture.

  • Neutral tones enhance tranquility, while bold patterns add personality.

Dining Room Harmony

An area rug in the dining room doesn’t just protect your floors; it enhances the room’s aesthetic and functionality. Our size guide recommends leaving 18-24 inches of rug around all sides of the dining table to accommodate pulled-out chairs comfortably. 

Key Points:

  • Flatweave rugs are easy to clean and maintain.

  • Match the rug shape to your table (rectangular for long tables, round for circular setups).

  • A 9’x12’ rug works well for larger tables, while 10’x10’ is ideal for square arrangements.

With our featured rug size guide, selecting the perfect area rug for your home has never been easier. Whether you’re drawn to bold designs or timeless neutrals, a well-chosen rug can transform your space and elevate its style.
