Room-by-Room Placement Guide
Living Room
Ideal sizes: 5'x8', 6'x9', 8'x10', 9'x12'
Tips: All furniture legs should sit on the rug (front legs at minimum). Leave 12-18" of bare floor around edges.
Bedroom
Ideal sizes: 5'x8' (twin), 6'x9' (full), 8'x10' (queen), 9'x12' (king)
Tips: Place under the lower two-thirds of the bed. Extend 18-24" beyond sides and foot.
Dining Room
Ideal sizes: 6'x9', 8'x10', 9'x12'
Tips: Rug should extend at least 24" beyond the table edge so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.
Hallway / Runner
Ideal sizes: 2.5'x6', 2.5'x8', 2.5'x10', 2.5'x12'
Tips: Leave 2-4" of flooring visible on each side. Runner length should be 6-12" shorter than the hallway.
Choosing the Right Shape
Rectangle
Most versatile. Works in almost any room – living, dining, bedroom.
Square
Perfect for square rooms, foyers, or under round dining tables.
Round
Softens angular spaces. Great under round tables or in entryways.
Runner
Long and narrow – ideal for hallways, kitchens, or bedside.
Oval
Elegant alternative to round. Works well in dining or under oval tables.
Custom
Any shape you need – octagon, hexagon, freeform, or curved.
How to Measure Your Space
Follow these simple steps to get accurate dimensions for your custom rug.
Measure the room
Use a metal tape measure. Record length and width in feet/inches.
Mark furniture placement
Decide where your rug will go – center, under front legs, or full coverage.
Use painter's tape
Outline the rug area on your floor to visualize the size before ordering.
Add border allowance
For patterned rugs, add 4-6" on each side for border visibility.
