Struggling to find the perfect rug size for your home? We consulted with experts to guide you on selecting the ideal rug size for each room, including your living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, hallway, and outdoor spaces.
Living Room
When selecting a rug for your living room, make sure it complements your furniture layout and enhances the space. A well-chosen living room rug can define the area, add warmth, and tie the room together. Our collection includes popular options like 8x10 area rugs for living room layouts, 9x12 rugs for open spaces, and even 8x10 washable rugs—ideal for families and high-traffic areas. From farmhouse rugs for living room style to modern minimalism, we offer everything from big rugs to carpets for living room settings. Find the perfect blend of comfort, size, and style.
9'x12' Rugs
A 9x12 rug fits beautifully in large living rooms that are at least 10.5’ x 13.5’. These big rugs help anchor open layouts and are perfect for larger furniture setups. Our 9x12 rugs for living room spaces include washable options for easy care and lasting style.
Pro Tip: Leave 18–36 inches of space between the rug and the walls, and place your rug based on seating or bed layout—not just the center of the room.
8'x10' Rugs
An 8x10 rug is ideal for medium-sized living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas with a minimum room size of 9.5' x 11.5'. These washable 8x10 rugs offer the perfect balance of coverage and space. Leave 18–24 inches of visible floor between the rug and the walls for a clean, spacious look.
Pro Tip: Position your 8x10 area rug based on anchor pieces like your sofa, bed, or dining table—not the center of the room.
6'x9' Rugs
A 6x9 rug fits well in smaller living rooms, bedrooms, or compact layouts with a minimum room size of 7.5' x 10.5'. This size helps define the space without overpowering it. Leave 12–24 inches of floor space around the rug for a balanced feel.
Pro Tip: Place just the front legs of sofas or chairs on your 6x9 area rug to create a more open, cohesive layout—ideal for small rooms.
5'x7' Rugs
A 5x7 rug is perfect for small rooms, cozy bedrooms, or compact living spaces. Ideal for areas at least 6.5' x 8.5', it offers just enough coverage without overwhelming the space. These 5x7 washable rugs add comfort and style to small sitting areas or under a dining table.
Pro Tip: Try this size under a small dining set or place it in a bedroom for a soft, balanced look.
4'x6' Rugs
A 4x6 rug fits well in entryways, reading corners, or under desks. Suitable for rooms around 5.5' x 7.5', it helps define small zones within your space. A great size for layering or adding texture to tighter areas.
Pro Tip: Use a 4x6 rug to center a small seating setup or create a welcoming entry moment.
3'x5' Rugs
A 3x5 rug works great in kitchens, next to beds, or in small entryways. Best in rooms at least 4.5' x 6.5', it provides comfort in high-traffic or functional areas. Easy to move, easy to clean.
Pro Tip: Place a 3x5 rug where you stand often—by the kitchen sink, bedside, or doorway.
2'x3' Rugs
A 2x3 rug is ideal for tight spots like entryways, bathrooms, or beside the bed. Fits best in areas around 3.5' x 5.5'. These small washable rugs are perfect as accents or functional floor coverage.
Pro Tip: Use a 2x3 rug in front of a sink, vanity, or door to add style and purpose in one.
Dining Room
A dining room rug should be large enough to fit all chairs—even when pulled out—for both comfort and style. Our washable dining room rugs offer warmth, texture, and easy maintenance, making them perfect for everyday use. Choose from 8x10, 9x12, and other large sizes to suit your table and space.
Large Table (8+)
A table for eight or more fits best on a 9'x12' rug or larger, ensuring enough space for all chairs to remain on the rug even when pulled out for seating.
Medium Table (6)
A table for six fits best on an 8'x10' or 6'x9' rug, allowing enough space for dining chairs to be pulled out comfortably while remaining on the rug.
Small Table (4)
A table for four fits well on an 8' round rug, providing ample space for seating. Alternatively, you can position the table and chairs in the center of a 6'x9' rug for a balanced, open look.
Bathroom
A bathroom rug should cover high-traffic areas like in front of the sink or shower while adding softness and slip-resistance. Our water-resistant and washable rugs combine comfort, function, and quick-drying design—perfect for keeping your space cozy and dry. Choose a style that complements your decor and fits compact spaces like 2x3 or 3x5 rugs.
Kitchen
A kitchen rug adds comfort and warmth to high-traffic areas—especially in front of the sink. For the best fit, choose compact, washable rugs like 2x3 or 3x5, and pair them with a cushioned rug pad for extra support while standing. Style and function, all in one.
Large Kitchen
For larger kitchens, a 4'x6' or 5'x7' rug adds comfort and style. Place a 3'x5', 4'x6', 5'x7', or a runner rug along either side of a kitchen island for added warmth and functionality.
Medium Kitchen
In a medium-sized kitchen, a 4'x6' or 5'x7' rug works well for adding warmth and comfort. For extra functionality, consider placing a runner rug along the sink or stove area.
Small Kitchen
In a small kitchen, a 2'x3' or 3'x5' rug placed in front of the sink adds comfort without making the space feel cluttered.
Long or Galley Layout
In a long, galley-style kitchen, a 2.5’x7’, 2.5’x10’, or 2.5’x12’ runner rug works well along the sink side. For narrower layouts, center the runner in the kitchen for a balanced look.
Bedroom
The right bedroom rug depends on your bed size and layout. A large rug like an 8x10 or 9x12 fits under the bed and nightstands, while smaller rugs like 2x3 or 5x7 add comfort on each side. Our washable bedroom rugs enhance warmth and style while grounding your space beautifully.
King Bed
A 9'x12' rug works well with a king bed, fitting comfortably under the bed and extending beyond the sides and foot. This setup provides a soft rug surface underfoot when getting in and out of bed.
Queen Bed
An 8'x10' rug fits well under a queen bed and nightstands, leaving about 3 feet of rug visible on either side of the bed. A 6'x9' rug provides an 18-inch border on each side for a more compact look.
Full Bed
A 6'x9' rug fits perfectly under a full bed, offering a balanced look and extra comfort. Alternatively, place two 3'x5' rugs on each side of the bed for added cushioning and warmth.
Twin Bed
An 8'x10', 6'x9', or 5'x7' rug pairs well with a twin bed, leaving plenty of visible rug space around the edges. Alternatively, two 3'x5' rugs or smaller can be placed on either side for extra comfort and style.
Double Twins
The ideal setup is to place a 3'x5' rug between two beds for a cozy and balanced look. Alternatively, use a 2.5'x7' or 2.5'x10' runner rug centered between the beds for a more elongated and stylish appearance.
