Measuring your space before you start shopping is crucial to finding a rug that fits your living room perfectly. A rug that is too small or too large can throw off the balance of your room and make it feel awkward or cluttered.

To determine the right rug size for your living room, start by measuring the length and width of the space you want to cover. For a small living room, a 5×8, 6×9 to 7×10 rug can work well. A medium-sized living room can accommodate a 7×10 or 8×10 rug, while a large living room can handle a 9×12 or 10×14 rug. If you have an even larger space, consider an 11×17, 12×15, 12×18, 15×20, or even larger rug.

Keep in mind that the size of your rug can impact the look and feel of your living room. A smaller rug can make your space feel cozier and more intimate, while a larger rug can create a sense of grandeur and spaciousness. For example, a small rug in the center of a large living room can make the room feel disconnected. In contrast, a large rug extending under all your furniture can anchor the space and create a cohesive look.

When selecting a rug size, also consider how you want to arrange your furniture. A rug that is too small can make your furniture feel disjointed, while a rug that is too large can make your furniture feel like it’s floating in the room. Finding the right balance between your rug size and furniture arrangement can help create a comfortable and inviting living room that feels just right.

Decorating with Living Room Rugs

Having chosen the ideal living room rug size, it’s essential to incorporate it into your décor seamlessly. A thoughtfully selected rug unifies furniture, artwork, and accessories while effortlessly infusing color and texture into the space.

When decorating with living room rugs, consider the overall style and color scheme of your space. If you have a neutral-colored living room, a bold or patterned rug can add visual interest and personality. On the other hand, if you have a room with colorful walls and furniture, a solid or simple patterned rug can balance out the space and create a calming effect.

Another way to decorate with living room rugs is to layer them over other rugs or carpeting. This can create a unique and cozy look, especially in larger living rooms. Consider layering a smaller rug over a larger one or placing a rug at an angle to add visual interest and depth to your space.

When it comes to placement, there are a few general rules to keep in mind. If you have a smaller living room, center your rug in the middle of the space and arrange your furniture around it. For larger rooms, you can place your rug at an angle or position it under your furniture to anchor the space.

Overall, decorating with living room rugs is all about finding the right balance and creating a cohesive look. Whether you prefer bold patterns, subtle textures, or neutral tones, a beautiful rug can elevate your living room and transform it into a space you’ll love to spend time in.

Living Room rugs: Care and Maintenance

Here are some tips for the care and maintenance of living room rugs:
