| When selecting a rug for the dining room, you want to make sure that enough room is left that the chairs back legs stay on the rug when someone is sitting. This keeps the chairs and your guest on an even surface. To achieve this, measure your table at its largest setting and add two feet to the length and width. |
A room-size rug should be large enough that a step or two can be made on the rug when getting out of the bed. Take the measurement of the width of your bed and add two feet. If you are looking for something larger you can include the measurement of the nightstands also. When using multiple rugs, place one at the end of the bed and one on each side. If there are two beds, a rug looks great centered between the two. |

| The bigger the rug, the more it’ll pull the other elements of the room together. Use the coffee table, or center of the room, as the primary focal point and plan outward from there. It is a well-accepted look to have the front legs of a sofa on a rug and the back legs on your flooring. Having the front and back legs of a sofa on a rug is usually not a good idea, unless, of course, the rug is a room-sized rug. The size of the rug should allow at least 12 to 15 inches of exposed hardwood flooring to show all around the outside edges. |

| Kitchen, Hallway and Foyer |
|
| Runners, Rounds, Squares, Octagons and other shapes are great for filling those narrower spaces and nooks in your home. When using a runner in a hallway, make sure that the rug extends past any side doors in the hallway. Special sizes and shapes can be created. |
