Living Room

Place your outer pieces of furniture so that they rest half on the rug and half off the rug, or arrange your furniture so that it entirely rests on the rug. The distance between your sofa and coffee table should be about 18 inches/ 45 cm. Always size up; a bigger rug gives a space a more airy, uncluttered impression.

Bed Room

Choose an 8' by 10' / 240x300 cm rug in the regular size for a queen bed, or place two smaller rugs on either side of the bed. Make sure there is 8 to 10 inches / 240x300 cm of space between your rug and nightstand. Choose an 8 by 10' / 240x300 cm rug or place a smaller rug in between two twin beds.
