Can you post pictures of the entire room? It looks like the sofa sort of overlaps the staircase? Can you turn sofa to face FP? I don't like the chaise blocking the FP.

I think the 7'9" x 9'9" size is a better fit for the room.

Thank you Houssaon. After measuring further, i agree!! Appreciate your help!

@jck910, i was Simply looking for feedback on the rug size and where the rug should fit. Saying you don’t “like” someone’s furniture (especially when i got My brand new couch today and was very excited about it) is not what these forums are for. They are for design advice and guidance on the very specific topics asked. I appreciate The response but next time, constructive comments on the specific topic would be preferred.

New home owner, jck10 didn’t say they didn’t like the furniture, just that they didn’t like the way the chaise part of the sectional was blocking the fireplace and I’m sorry, but I agree. I’m not a professional, but the suggestion that perhaps the couch should face the fireplace is a good suggestion as the chaise probably shouldn’t block the fireplace especially when lit. Only if the couch is moved (even if it’s just moved further down the wall) can help on the rug be given. It would really help to see the whole room as jck10 suggested first.

I think both are too small. The sofa is 134"; 9'9" is only 117", leaving 8.5" on each end of the sofa with no rug under it OR leaving 18" under the chaise with no rug. Since the rug and sofa will often be seen from above, I don't think that works.

Look for a rug that is at least long enough to allow the entire sofa and chaise to sit on it with about 18" between the edge of the rug and the wall behind the sofa. You could get a carpet piece bound to about 12.5' x 5', or you could get a rug that fills the whole room to within 18" of the sofa and tv walls, so about 12.5'x10'

It looks like a lovely room. We agree with the above sizing the rug to the room.

Here's a good rule of thumb chart. Pay attention to the "18 inch rule".

NHO you need to chill

I believe it would be best to first plan out the entire living room space. Place a coffee table as well as additional seating you will have and then buy an area rug according to how large the furniture arrangement will be.
