Choosing the right rug size is essential for creating a harmonious interior. A rug of the correct dimensions helps structure the space, balance the decor, and highlight the furniture. In this guide, we explain how to choose the ideal rug size for each room: living room, bedroom, or dining room.

What size rug should I choose for my living room?
The size of the rug should match the layout of your furniture. Your rug should be large enough to encompass the central area where your main furniture, such as the sofa and armchairs, is located.
Therefore, use the rug to visually define an area in your living room. Opt for a rug that extends about 20 to 30 centimeters beyond each side of the sofa and armchairs, creating a perfect transition between your rug and its surroundings.
What size rug should I choose for my bedroom?
The rug should extend approximately 15 to 25 centimeters on each side of the bed, which will help to visually enlarge the room while adding a harmonious touch to the overall bedroom.
In a spacious bedroom with nightstands, you can let your rug extend about 40 to 60 centimeters on each side of the bed, allowing your nightstands to rest comfortably on the rug. Additionally, let the rug extend about 20 to 30 centimeters in front of your bed for perfect harmony.
What size rug should I choose for my dining room?
The size of the rug should be proportionate to that of your dining table. A good tip is to choose a rug that extends at least 60 centimeters beyond each side of the table once the chairs are pulled out, ensuring that the chairs remain on the rug even when occupied.
