Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Rugs

Should a rug go under all the furniture in a living room?

A: Not necessarily. In a living room, it's ideal for the front legs of your main seating pieces to rest on the rug, creating a defined space.

How far should a rug extend from under a bed?

A: This depends on your desired look. For a luxurious feel, position the rug so it extends under the bed and nightstands. Alternatively, a smaller rug centred under the bed can also work.

Can I use a small rug in a large room?

A: Absolutely! A smaller rug can be used to define a specific area within a larger room, like a reading nook or seating area.

Hitting the Right Note with Rug Sizing

A perfectly sized rug anchors your furniture and defines the space. Here's a cheat sheet when it comes to rug sizing to find your ideal fit:

• Living Room: All your main seating pieces, like the sofa and armchairs, should ideally have their front legs resting on the rug.
• Dining Room: Choose a rug big enough to extend at least 18 inches (45 cm) beyond the edges of your dining table in all directions when the chairs are pulled out for meals.
• Bedroom: For a luxurious feel, position the rug so it extends under the bed and nightstands. Alternatively, a smaller rug centred under the bed is also a great option.

Finding the Ideal Rug Placement

Strategic rug placement enhances both form and function:

• Living Room: Create a conversation-friendly space by placing the rug under your seating arrangement, and centring it with the coffee table.
• Dining Room: Ensure your rug is large enough to accommodate your dining table and chairs when pulled out for meals.
• Bedroom: A rug placed under the bed adds warmth and comfort. You can also layer a smaller rug at the foot of the bed for visual interest.

Rug Styling: Maximising Cosiness and Style

When it comes to how to style rugs in your bedroom and living room, remember that rugs are more than just floor coverings - they're a canvas to express your style:

• Texture & Pattern: Woven textures add depth, while patterned rugs can become the focal point of a room. Consider your existing furniture and décor when selecting a pattern or texture.
• Colour Coordination: Rugs can unify a space by tying in colours from your furniture, artwork or accent pieces.
• Layering: For a luxurious and visually interesting effect, layer a smaller rug over a larger one. Opt for contrasting colours or patterns for added impact.
