FAQs

Runner widths are typically 2’–3′, with lengths from 6′ to 14′. Leave 4–6″ of floor around the runner.

Common round rug sizes are 6′, 8′, 9′, and 10′. For a 42–48″ round table, an 8′ round usually fits chairs.

Add at least 24″ to each table side so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. A 6-seat rectangle often needs 8×10.

For twin, use 5×8 or 6×9; for full, 6×9 or 8×10. Two 2×6 runners on each side is an alternative.

A 9×12 is ideal under a king bed. An 8×10 is the minimum if nightstands remain off the rug.

An 8×10 usually fits a queen bed best, giving 18–24″ around the sides. A 6×9 can work in tight rooms.

Choose a rug at least as wide as the sofa, ideally extending 6–8″ beyond each arm. The “two-thirds” rule keeps proportions balanced.

8×10 and 9×12 suit most seating areas. Leave a 12–18″ border of floor around the rug to avoid a wall-to-wall look.

Approximate conversions: 5×8 ≈ 150×240 cm, 6×9 ≈ 180×270 cm, 8×10 ≈ 240×300 cm, 9×12 ≈ 270×365 cm. Rounds follow diameter equivalents (e.g., 8′ ≈ 240 cm).

Standard area rug sizes include 2×3, 3×5, 4×6, 5×7/5×8, 6×9, 8×10, 9×12, 10×14, and 12×15. Small rounds/squares are typically 4′, 6′, 8′, 9′, 10′, and 12′.
