Area Rugs

What size area rug you need for your living room depends on how big the room is and how your furniture is set up. You can put a 5'x8' rug under a coffee table in a small living room and not touch the furniture. A 6'x9' or 8'x10' rug is good for medium-sized rooms because it lets the front legs of chairs and sofas rest on it.

A 9'x12' or 10'x14' rug helps keep all the furniture in a large or open-plan living room by keeping it within the rug's edges. Leave about 6 to 18 inches of floor space around the edges of the rug. Custom-sized rugs from brands like Maia Homes are a stylish and seamless way to get a perfect fit.

Standard area rug sizes are made to fit a wide range of room sizes and furniture arrangements. The 3'x5' size is common and works well in small rooms, entryways, or stacked under coffee tables.

The 4'x6' size is good for small dining rooms or seating areas, and the 5'x8' size is often used in bedrooms or living rooms. A 6'x9' rug is good for medium-sized rooms because it lets you place some furniture on it. An 8'x10' rug, on the other hand, works well under queen beds or in larger living rooms.

A 9'x12' rug works well in large rooms because it can hold full dining or seating sets, while a 10'x14' rug is best for large layouts or king-sized beds. Custom-sized rugs from brands like Maia Homes are a great way to decorate spaces that aren't standard sizes. They also look great.
