Introduction

Choosing a rug is not just about color and design—size matters just as much. The right rug size can make a room feel balanced and well put together, while the wrong one can throw off the entire layout. At Zion Rugs, we help you not only pick a beautiful design but also guide you to the perfect fit for your space.

Let’s break it down room by room.

1. Living Room: Frame the Conversation

• For small living rooms: Choose a rug that fits just under the front legs of your sofa and chairs.
• For larger spaces: Use a rug large enough for all furniture legs to rest on it.
• Pro Tip: Leave about 12–18 inches of bare floor around the rug to frame it.

2. Bedroom: Comfort Underfoot

• Queen bed: A 5’x8′ or 6’x9′ rug fits nicely under the bottom two-thirds of the bed.
• King bed: Go for 8’x10′ or larger to balance the scale.
• Place runners on each side for a softer morning step if a large rug doesn’t fit your layout.

3. Dining Room: All Chairs Onboard

• The rug should extend at least 24 inches beyond all sides of the table to allow chairs to stay on the rug when pulled out.
• Match the rug shape with the table (e.g., round rug under a round table).

4. Entryway or Hallway: Define the Space

• Use runners for narrow hallways or a small rug for entryways to set the tone.
• Ensure the door can open freely over the rug.

5. Layering Tip: Add Texture and Depth

Layering a smaller patterned rug over a large neutral base adds style and flexibility—especially helpful in open-plan layouts.

Conclusion

The right rug size creates visual harmony and enhances functionality in every room. Whether you’re furnishing a cozy bedroom or a grand dining area, Zion Rugs has the handcrafted pieces to match your dimensions and design dreams.
