Tip 2: Balance in the Bedroom
Tip 3: Dining Room Harmony
Tip 1: Anchor the Seating Area
-
When placing an area rug in a living room, ensure it anchors the front legs of all major furniture in the seating arrangement.
-
This creates a cohesive visual flow, making the rug appear integrated into the space while enhancing comfort.
- Avoid using a rug that’s too small where none of the furniture touches it, as it makes the seating area feel disjointed and less intentional.
Tip 2: Balance in the Bedroom
-
In a bedroom, your rug should extend 12 to 18 inches beyond the bed on all sides, creating a soft and spacious effect.
-
This placement ensures ample walking space around the bed, giving the room a luxurious feel.
- Don’t choose a rug that’s too small or fails to cover enough space under the bed—it compromises both functionality and aesthetics.
Tip 3: Dining Room Harmony
-
For a dining area, your rug should extend 24 to 36 inches beyond the edges of the dining table.
-
This extra space allows chairs to remain on the rug even when pulled out, avoiding uneven or awkward edges.
- Using a too-small rug can result in chairs catching the rug edges, disrupting both function and form.
