Free Rug Size Guide + 3 Tips for Choosing the Right Rug


Hello Reader,

I've said it before & I'll say it again...choosing the right size rug makes all the difference. It's kind of like choosing clothes - which I'm absolutely no expert at - but I know certain shirt styles are more flattering and too big makes look frumpy and too small is just not the look I'm wanting.

It's the same thing with rugs - it's finding that perfect happy medium. Like the three little bears.

This is why I've create a FREE rug size guide (updated!) you can download and keep for reference - it's handy for the bedroom, living, and dining room. Plus, I've add visual examples and links to my favorites.

Rug Size Tips:

  • In most cases, the front furniture legs should sit on the rug
  • Use painter's tape on the floor to visualize a rug before buying
  • Area rugs should allow for the main furniture (a bed, a living room set, a dining table)
  • The same principles work outdoors too for patios and living spaces!

I hope these rug tips are helpful! I'll be back next week with a before & after of my home exterior!
