Area Rug Size & Placement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the size and placement of an area rug under a sofa are important for maintaining a high-end, styled look. Too large or too small of a rug under a sofa can make a room feel unbalanced. However, even with the perfect rug size, if the sofa is improperly placed on\/near the rug, the room will once again feel unbalanced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to ensure proper rug size is the 6′” rule. If you buy your rug first, buy a sofa that spans at least 12″ less than the rug. Or, if you buy your sofa first, buy a rug that is at least 12″ longer than your sofa. This way, you can allow for the rug to extend past your sofa by at least 6″ on each side. As far as placement goes, make sure the front legs of your furniture are on the rug as shown in the diagram below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have created some visual examples down below to help easily understand what proper rug size and placement should look like. When rug size and placement are executed correctly, the space will be maximized and balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
