Size guide
Scale is the quietest decision, and the one you notice most.
A rug that is one size too small is the single most common mistake in a beautiful room. Here is how to avoid it.
Living room · recommended 8 × 10 ft
All front legs on, ideally all four legs.
Leave 30–45 cm of floor between the rug edge and the wall. If in doubt, go one size up — a small rug makes a room feel smaller.
