Correct size rug for living room.
In large living rooms for example you can use two rugs to create two separate living areas.
Usually area rugs are available in the following standard sizes.
8 feet by 11 feet.
This rug also creates a nice visual conversation dining area leaving walkways around the perimeter to access the bar and storage nook in the corner.
4 feet by 6 feet.

An 8 x10 rug works best in an open floor plan or any room that is at least 3 feet larger than the rug on both the length and width 11 x13 room or slightly larger.
It gives you the dimensions you need to create some overlap with your sofa and other furniture which gives a cozier vibe than a 6 9 rug.

You can go with a smaller rug like a 5 by 8 that can float in the room in between the furniture but under the coffee table says loloi a rug.
This leaves a comfortable border around the rug.
The rug should extend at least 24 and no more than 36 beyond all sides of the table so chairs can sit on a flat surface even when they are pushed back.

Rugs typically come in standard sizes up to a maximum of about 10 x 14 or so.
To avoid looking awkward your rug should be at least a foot wider than your sofa on either side.
Larger rooms typically require a rug that is between 8 x 10 9 x 12.
For a room sized rug simply take 18 24 off the room s measurements.
