Frequently Asked Questions
What size area rug do I need for the living room?
Consider the roomʼs layout and furniture placement. An ideal rug accommodates all main furniture pieces, sitting atop the rug to create a cohesive look. For smaller living rooms, a rug that allows at least the front legs of the furniture to rest on it can suffice, ensuring a balanced and inviting atmosphere. Houzzʼs size guide for area rugs recommends specific dimensions based on room size and furniture arrangement, providing tailored advice for a harmonious interior design.What size area rug is the best for the bedroom?
Selecting an area rug for the bedroom requires consideration of the bed size and room dimensions. Allow least 18 inches beyond the bedʼs sides and foot for ample coverage and comfort. For a king-sized bed, a 9x12 rug will be a great choice. A queen bed pairs well with an 8x10 rug. These guidelines ensure that stepping out of bed is a plush, comfortable experience, contributing to a warm and inviting bedroom atmosphere.How to place an area rug in the living room?
To effectively place an area rug in the living room, aim to anchor the seating area by choosing a rug size that allows for at least the front legs of all seating furniture to rest on the rug. This approach creates a unified and welcoming space, enhancing the roomʼs aesthetic appeal and functional comfort.How to keep area rugs from sliding?
To prevent area rugs from sliding, consider using a non-slip rug pad specifically designed for this purpose. Rug pads not only add an extra layer of safety by securing the rug in place but also protect the underlying carpet and extend the life of the rug.What area rug materials are best for pets?
