1. Go big
The universal bugaboo seems to be skimpiness. When a rug is too small, it creates distracting broken space between the rug and the furniture surrounding it, getting the largest size rug a living room can accommodate.
2. Leave some framing floor
Rugs should never touch the wall. We’d call that a carpet. Aim for at least 4 inches of bare flooring from the edge of the rug to the wall. The ideal is 12 to 18 inches.
3. Put furniture on the rug
When placing furniture, most experts fall into one of two camps: 1) All of the furniture needs to be on the rug or 2) just the front legs of each major piece—sofa and accent seating—does.
4. Choose the rug first
“It’s far easier to build a design scheme around a rug than it is to hunt for a rug that miraculously ties a room together,” said Tim Sheridan, brand ambassador for carpet and rug purveyor Stark. If you’re just beginning a room, you might want to heed this advice.
5. Lay some tape
For best results when considering a carpet, break out the yardstick. Take the time to measure and tape out the exact size of the rug on your floor, It might feel like an extra step, but it will make all the difference.
