General Tips
- The larger the room, the larger the rug.
- A rug should always sit at least 1’ from the wall, leaving a strip of visible floor. We like leaving as much as 1.5 or 2’.
- Whether furniture legs rest entirely on, or partially off, a rug tends to be case-specific, and ultimately, a matter of preference.
- Finally: rules are made to be broken! When it comes to rugs, we encourage you to experiment and discover what works for you and your home.

Sits comfortably under a three-seater sofa with space to fit two armchairs facing opposite.

Dining Room
Your rug should be large enough to fit your dining room table and all dining chairs to sit on, even when pulled out. A rule of thumb is to allow 30 to 60cm from the edge of your dining table to the edge of the rug.

As well as balancing out the room, a well-sized rug provides comfort underfoot when stepping out of bed.
