Three decisions account for most rug mistakes: size, material and maintenance.
Common starting points
A size for the job.
5' × 8'
A compact anchor for reading corners, smaller living rooms or under a four-seat table.
8' × 10'
A versatile living-room size that can catch the front legs of a sofa and chairs.
10' × 14'
For generous rooms where the full furniture arrangement should sit comfortably on the rug.
