How to Choose a Rug Size: A Simple Guide

To make your area rug effective in your room, you have to choose the right size. A rug that’s too small or too large for your space can throw off the balance and make the design feel visually offputting.

Here is a simple guide for how to choose a rug size.

Know the Standard Rug Sizes

Before you jump the gun and buy a rug, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the standard sizes. Store-bought area rugs often come in these sizes:

  • 3 ft x 5 ft
  • 4 ft x 6 ft
  • 5 ft x 8 ft
  • 7 ft x 10 ft
  • 8 ft x 11 ft
  • 9 ft x 12 ft

While these are the standard rug sizes, different manufacturers may vary the size a bit, often by less than an inch. Manufacturers also often offer the same rug in a few standard sizes to accommodate different room sizes.

However, if these sizes don’t work for your space, you can always get a rug custom made to your proportions. You can create your own rug design on Classicrug.com. But knowing the standard sizes can help you when you start picking a rug.

Consider Your Room to Determine the Size

One mistake you can make when shopping for a rug is not considering the size of your room. Most people accidentally choose a rug that’s too small for their space, which can make the room feel cramped and uninviting.

An area rug should anchor the space rather than fill it. Rather than choose an area rug that takes up the room, consider the size and furniture in your space.

It’s a good rule of thumb to leave 24 inches between the wall and the area rug in a large room. For a small room, allow for 12-18 inches between the rug and wall. It’s also important to consider the furniture layout in the room.

Don’t Forget About the Room’s Layout

A surefire way to make sure the rug you choose is perfect for your space is to keep the room’s layout in mind. This allows for all of the furniture pieces in the room to feel connected, creating an inviting and comfortable space.

When considering the layout of your room in connection with your area rug, think about the legs on your furniture. You can place all of the legs on the rug, just the front legs on the rug, or no legs.

This can work for furniture in any room, so it’s a great tip to keep in mind when choosing an area for a space in your home.

Your Guide for How to Choose a Rug Size

Any room in your home can benefit from a stunning rug to pull the design together. Add texture, color, and pattern, and make the room feel warm and inviting when you choose the right rug.

This quick guide for how to choose a rug size will ensure that no matter the room, you can find a rug that will complete the design.
