What rug sizes work best for different living room furniture arrangements?
Recommended rug sizes for living rooms based on furniture placement.
All Legs off Rug: Size — 5 x 8
When you’ve got a smaller living room or prefer to keep all your furniture off the rug, go with a 5' x 8'.
Front Legs on, Back Legs off: Size — 8 x 10
With this size, you’ll most likely have all front legs of furniture on the rug, with the back legs off. Or just some of the front legs will be on the rug. An 8' x 10' is shown on the opposite page.
All Legs on Rug: Size — 9 x 12
This size generally allows the back legs of every piece of furniture to sit on the rug.
