Living Room
All legs on the rug. The front legs of the all the furniture grouping should fall on the rug, with 6” rug space left on either side of the sofa. This will create a defined seating space and the room will look connected.
Dining Room
The shape of the dining table and room will define the size and shape of the rug. Idle size is when the dining table and all the chairs’ legs fall on the rug. Rug should extend at least 24 inches and not more than 36 inches out from all sides.
Bedroom
The most popular option for the bedroom rug is keeping the rug 18 inches to 24 inches away from the nightstands and extending it almost a foot from the bed. For a symmetrical finish, an 8×10 rug is best for queen beds and a 9×12 for king.
Kitchen
Size and shape of the kitchen defines the size and the placement of the runner. Runners enhance the beauty and the look of the kitchen.
Hallway

Entry
Decorate your entry way with a beautiful piece of round or rectangle rug or a runner, width of the rug is usually defined by the width of the front door.
