Tape the outline on the floor to preview clearances and pathways; visualize 12–18-inch wall gaps and chair pull-back of 24–30 inches.

Center to the furniture grouping or focal point (sofa, fireplace), not the room’s walls, to make the layout feel intentional.

Put a low-pile rug under both desk and chair and size it to extend 18–24 inches beyond the desk so the chair doesn’t roll off.

Keep standard rugs at least 3 feet from open flames; if closer, use a certified hearth rug designed for ember resistance.

Choose a runner aligned to the length of the hall with 3–6 inches of reveal per side; avoid running flush against walls.

Start with a flat, low-profile base; keep the top rug 1–3 feet smaller per side than the base and add pads to prevent shifting.

Use breathable, quick-dry rugs and pads; lift and dry after rain and avoid rubber backings that trap moisture against wood.

It works—use a carpet-to-carpet pad or grippers and anchor edges with furniture; keep top rugs flatter than the plush carpet below.

Favor low-pile rugs without long fringe; many robots handle \~0.5–0.8-inch thresholds, while dark borders can confuse cliff sensors.

Prefer thin, low-resistance rugs and pads; avoid covering most of the heated area and skip thick or rubber-blocked backings.

Choose a pad 1–2 inches smaller than the rug on all sides (about 2–3 inches for thicker pads) to hide edges and prevent trips.

Center the coffee table on the rug and allow roughly 18 inches of rug around it; also keep 16–18 inches from sofa to table.
