Ok, after many (many many) requests for a primer in rugs, here it is! Rugs are must-haves when it comes to design, and the right rug in the right room can really finish the space. They can cozy up a space or ground a seating area, while even drowning out sound and adding pattern and texture.
So without further ado, a room-by-room breakdown with size specifications and general rug rules to live by when picking out the perfect floor covering:
Rug Rules For Your Dining Room
- A rug under your table should be big enough for all of the chairs to be pulled out with ALL chair legs remaining on the rug (this usually calls for an 8×10).
- A rug with an pattern or color variation will help hide any stains or discoloration from mealtime mishaps
- Something with a border or a pattern is a great way to add interest and texture to a space that usually has a whole lot of wood (it’s always nice to break that up with a stylish area rug, especially if your floors are also wood).
Rug Rules For Your Bedroom
- Choose a size that will extend beyond both sides of your bed so that both sleepers’ feet will meet a cozy rug – not a cold, hard floor – when getting up.
- Your rug should be placed under your bed, extending from 3 sides (the foot and both sides). Ideally the bed would be centered so an equal amount shows on both sides.
- If you have a Queen-size bed or smaller, you can get away with a 5×8′ rug laid horizontally under your bed, but a 8×10′ is usually better.
- Pick a cushy material that will add to the soothing, restful feeling – or add a felt rug pad to add some softness to your existing rug.
- Selecting a smaller scale or more subtle pattern (even a solid colored rug) might make the most sense when setting a serene scene.
Rug Rules For Your Living Room
- To cozy up and ground the seating area, your rug should be at least as long as your sofa and preferably wide enough to go beyond any side tables.
- At least the front legs of your sofa, loveseat, and/or accent chairs should sit on the rug so that the furniture all feels connected to seating area (the back legs can be on or off, dependin gon the size of your rug)
- Even if your living room has wall to wall carpet, a nice area rug can add pattern, interest, color, style, and of course define the seating area like nothing else.
- Rugs not only add comfort to a living area, but can help define your color palette for you. A multicolored rug can be a great placee to pull colors for your pillows, curtains or more.
Rules For Your Kitchen Rugs
- For a kitchen rugs or runners, you’ll probably want a durable rug that can stand up to high traffic and can be easily cleaned.
- You can opt for a small doormat sized rug in front of your sink, or a larger runner to connect the larger cooking area.
- Natural fibers like jute and sisal work well because they can be shaken out and easily vacuumed cleaned. The fibers can also be easily cleaned with water.
- Indoor/outdoor rugs are also a fabulous and hardworking idea. Many polyprolene rugs are still comfortable underfoot, but can be literally hosed off if needed.
- Use rug tape or a non-slip rug pad to make sure your rug stays in place, since you may not have the weight of furniture to anchor it in place.
Rules For Bathroom Rugs
- Don’t feel locked into just selecting a bath mat, since may traditional rugs can stand up to wet feet (although you still might want an absorbment mat handy for stepping out of the shower).
- Since bathroom spaces tend to be smaller, this might be an opportunity to splurge on something a little more special, like a gorgeous secondhand Turkish rug.
- Try bringing in a bold colored or patterned rug to spice up a bland white or neutral room – it’s a whole lot cheaper than replacing the tile floor!
- Consider hanging your bath mat on the side of the tub or even on a towel bar (we often mount one low on the back of the door) to keep it off the floor when not in use. It will dry faster, last longer, and keep your bathroom looking cleaner.
And on a personal note, we just scored a cheerful new rug for the living room (at a major discount thanks to the DIY shoot) so here’s a little teaser shot:
Stay tuned for a pic of the whole rug (and the rest of the room). Until then, happy rug hunting!
Meggan says
Yay! You’re the best! This gives me a lot of direction for size and placement for our hypothetical rug.
Gràcia says
Burger seems to really like the rug!
KK says
The rug you just scored is killer. I love the color and lattice design. . .can’t wait to see where you put it!
elizabeth says
Thank you SOOO MUCH! We are heading to Ikea this weekend to look for rugs, so your post was timely and super-helpful. I’m going home tonight to measure our spaces! Love the new rug can’t wait to see all of the swag you scored during the photo shoot!
Sarah says
Thanks so much – love it! I have another question maybe ya’ll could address in a post – what about rugs/mats for a small entry. I need something that’s super cute/stylish but at the same time doesn’t show dirt/is easy to clean/absorbs water & dirt. HELP!
Lori says
Ditto to Sarah’s request for that all-important entry rug. Too many of them look like floor mats for your car!
Thanks for the primer!
Elizabeth says
Can you guys recommend some of your go-to sites or stores for rugs? I have a hard time finding quality, modern rugs at my budget!
Jean says
Hey! That’s the rug that Stacie used in her room redo (different color). I’ve been coveting it big time. Ditto on the comments. I am a rug idiot — same with anything that covers window if it isn’t plantation shutters. I think most of it is just too fussy. Seems that others can pull it off in ways that are pleasing to me, but I have problems just conceiving it. Love your/Nate’s high-set bamboo shades trick though. Thanks for this rug primer. (So, window treatments primer next?) :-) – Jean
David says
This is going to be very useful to a lot of people!
I agree with a lot of the sizes, of course it also depends on the size of the room… Although the bedroom sizes can get very large. Many people prefer to have a large area rug, perhaps upwards of 9×12 to really cover some floor. Especially in a Master Bedroom.
It’s also not uncommon for other, smaller area rug sizes to be used in this area, perhaps even runners next to or at the foot of a bed (although some may say this prohibits “flow”)
This is a great guide! I’d like to add that many people want to have the same exact rug throughout the house, but it’s nice for each room to have it’s own character! Thanks for an awesome post :)
Amy says
Great post. I disagree, however, with your advice about the rug for the bedroom. It seems so silly to me to have a rug for under just to peek out a couple of feet. Why not either get a large enough rug to cover the majority of the room or have two rugs on either side of the bed?
David says
Hi Amy,
I like the idea of two rugs on either side of the bed… Especially if a couple has two different tastes regarding design :)
YoungHouseLove says
Glad you’re all loving our little rug primer.As for our go-to stores for affordable rugs, we like target.com (the in store rugs aren’t great though) and Walmart actually has some surprisingly good finds. In our own home we have a new one from Pottery Barn (good eye Jean) and one from Pier 1 (the sunroom rug), one from World Market (in our bedroom) and one from JC Penney (used to be our living room rug, now lives in our guest room). Oh and we also have that adorable Company Store rug in our third bedroom. So all those places are definitely worth checking out for value and quality to boot.
Oh, and Amy makes a good point about a bedroom rug being mostly obscured by the bed (although the layered effect is oh so cozy, and if you can’t afford a huge rug definitely grab at least a 5×8 for a little warmth and texture to ground your sleeping area). But for those of you lucky enough to have a giant room, why not have a giant rug to create a completely plush experience throughout the space? In our case, an 8×10 would almost cover our entire 13 x 12 room (we have a small but sweet little master) but for those of you lucky enough to have a spacious master suite, definitely think about going for something even larger or even toss down a few runners or smaller rugs on either side of the bed and call it good!
Stay tuned for more decorating tutorials- from curtains to furniture placement and accessorizing, we’ve gotcha covered. Oh and we plan to revisit the rug in the entryway scenario as well, so stay tuned…

Maria Molinari says
Thanks for posting the picture of my Florida Room!!
Mary says
what size is your yellow rug?
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Mary,
Our yellow rug is 5′ x 8′, which is a great size for a small seating area with just a sofa and a chair (one with a sofa and a love seat- or a sectional- almost always calls for an 8′ x 10′). Hope it helps!

Brandi says
Hey Sherry. I LOVE your living room rug–beautiful! We are looking for a rug for under my black dining room table and chairs. This is a room that gets used daily by my family (I have 4 active boys). I need something that is easy to clean up, looks great, and is economical. Any suggestions?
Brandi says
Forgot to ask if you have any fav places/websites for rugs??
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Brandi,
We do have a few favorite rug sources up our sleeves: Overstock.com, The Company Store, JC Penney, Ikea, and Target are usually the first places we look. As for your dining room, I think the key is selecting something dark enough to obscure stains without blending too closely with your black table (so it doesn’t look like a big black hole).
Movement, texture and pattern always help to hide any stains or wear and tear, so that’s a great idea for the dining room, and something in the tan-mocha area (or the sage green or silvery gray or any other mid-tone color) will also be a lot more long-lasting than a super light rug while complementing the black table. Woven fibers like jute and indoor/outdoor textures like polypropylene are also easy-clean and durable in a kitchen or a dining room. And in a dining room always remember to err on the side of too big. You want all the chairs to be able to be pulled out while remaining on the rug, which usually calls for an 8 x 10. Hope it helps! Happy rug hunting…
xo,
Sherry
Erika says
Hi Sherry! I have wall to wall carpet in my living/dining but desperately need an are rug to distinguish the living room. You have said that putting an area rug down on carpet is okay. Yet, I am having trouble seeing it that way. Do you have any images to share or any suggestions for picking out a rug? I am going for the light and airy (creams and whites) feel for my living room. If my couch is neutral and so is my carpet, would it be bad to choose a rug that is also a neutral color? Also, would a jute rug be horrible on carpet? Thanks!
TD says
I have a question about bamboo rugs.
I love the feel of the bamboo rugs I saw in Lowes. But how do they hold up underneath heavy metal legs of a dining table? Does anyone have any experience with them? I imagine they would be a breeze to clean up in general. But I wouldn’t trade that for a dented rug.
Thanks.
YoungHouseLove says
Hey TD,
Good question. We actually don’t have any firsthand experience with this, but hopefully someone will weigh in!

Elaine says
Love the design and ideas for rugs in the sunroom!!! Do you know where I can find the low daybed like the one in your pic?
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Elaine,
West Elm has some great modern and low daybeds so they’re a great place to start. You can also search “daybed” at nextag.com and see what you find. Hope it helps!

CCCCC says
In general, when should a rug stand out? Where would someone put an 8 X 10 (or larger) zebra rug and what decorating “rules” and tips do you have for zebra? I also have a size question. My dining (and hall) room area is 9 X 15, it is also a high traffic zone from room to room. My dining table is very large. An 8 X 10 rug would come mid way trough the high traffic path. Would a room size rug work?
YoungHouseLove says
Hey CCCCC,
Good question! In general (of course there are no hard and fast rules, and even if there were, rules are meant to be broken) a more neutral room can handle a louder, more patterned rug but you’ll want it to be the star. If other things in the room (bright walls, giant art, a stunning pink leather chair) are also the stars, it can get a bit chaotic. As for zebra, it’s not a loud color but the pattern is pretty high contrast so it will work best in a room with other items that are more subtle for a layered and exotic effect that doesn’t hit you over the head too much. As for your size question, it’s really about what works for you. If you don’t like the idea of the rug in the middle of the traffic path, a room sized rug would be great. Hope it helps!

Jill says
Thanks for the quick guide to rug buying. I currently have a 6×9 in our living room that I have been unhappy with since we bought it and I have been looking for better options. I love the rug in your third bedroom and looked on The Company Store, but I don’t think they have it anymore. I did find a rug I like on there, similar to the 2nd living room rug pictured above, do you have any advice about choosing between sisal or jute? I want to avoid scratchy, but we have two rough and tumble dogs and want something durable. Is one softer than the other?
YoungHouseLove says
Good question! We have seen scratchy low quality versions of both and gorgeous textured well done jute and sisal options so it’s best to go with a company you trust. Since we love ours from The Company Store we hope that you’ll love either one you choose. And no we don’t get paid to say that. They don’t know us from Adam but we live their selection and their pretty darn good prices. Plus they have a great return policy just in case you don’t think the new rug will hold up. Good luck!

Erin says
Hey Guys,
This might not really fall in this category but I couldn’t find a better spot! I have a large remnant of a beautiful caramel color, shaggy-style carpet that my parents’ just laid in their house. It looks just like the large floor rug I was going to pay $89 for. My question is, is there a way to finish the edges so it doesn’t look like a remnant, but like an actual floor rug? My husband suggested burning the fraying edges with a lighter, but I wasn’t sure if that was the best way to go. Thanks!
Erin
YoungHouseLove says
Good question! We honestly have no idea! We’ve seen a lot of rugs finished with a flap of fabric around the outside (like jute ones with a cotton edge running all around the rug) but other than that don’t have a clue. Maybe check out some area rugs that look professional and deliberate to get some ideas that you can adapt for your remnant? Overstock.com has tons of them to look at. Hope it helps!

Mary says
Hi Sherry, what is your thought on rug pads? Do you have them under your rugs and do you think they are necessary?
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Mary,
We love them for rugs that slip around (we have them under the rug in the kitchen and the rug in the den because they don’t have any grippy backing) but we don’t always purchase them since many rugs come with some sort of traction built in on the bottom. Hope it helps!
xo,
s
Mary says
That does help – rug pads are expensive! We just bought an 8×10 that has some traction on the back, so I think we should be fine. I didn’t want to shell out another $100 for the pad, so we will try it without and see how it goes…
lise says
Hi sherry,
I’m moving to a place with wall to wall carpet. I have a sisal rug I love with my sofa. Am I going to have to give up my sisal or would it look okay on the carpet?
Thank you,
Lise
YoungHouseLove says
We believe 100% in area rugs over wall to wall carpet. They help define a zone (like a seating area or dining space) and sisal looks especially great layered over carpeting. Hope it helps!

Katie G says
Hi!
I am in the market for some rugs for our new place. We have an L shaped living room/dining room and we want to use a rug for under the dining room table and one for the seating area in the living room. What are some good tips for finding rugs that will work in this situation and will not look too matchy matchy?
Thanks!
Katie
YoungHouseLove says
Sometimes when it comes to defining two different spaces in the same room we actually love the look of coordinated rugs to tie everything together (the furnishings on top of the rugs will be different since one area will have a sofa and one will have a dining table) so the rugs become a nice cohesive backdrop like the color of the wall and the window treatments (other things we like to keep consistent in open spaces). You can also do something coordinating but not matching (a neutral diamond patterned jute rug in the dining area and a linear striped jute rug in the living area). Hope it helps!

Suzanne says
Hi Sherry ! I’ve just purchased an 8×10 area carpet for our dining room. Our kitchen, dining room and living room are all open together. We have medium oak floors, pine ceilings, and natural cherry cabinets=lots of wood. We have muted colours for furnishings- sage green, creams and tans. The carpet is 100
% wool and has all of the colours from the furniture and wall colour…..perfect you would think, but I have a fireplace that has medium and large granite stones with similar muted tones, and I’m afraid that the pattern will compete with the stones. Most of the examples I can find of dining or living rooms with area rugs, have very simple fireplaces. What is your take on this?
thanks!
YoungHouseLove says
We would totally go for it! As long as things have similar tones even different patterns and textures can live in the same space happily. The colors will tie them together! Of course you can always return the rug if you get it home and it doesn’t float your boat but we’re betting it’ll be perfect. Hope it helps!
xo,
s
Suzanne says
Thanks so much for your input Sherry! I bought the rug and really like it. It does make the room a bit more busy as the space isn’t large, but if our eyes don’t get used to it, I can use it in another room in our house. Thanks again and I enjoy checking out your fantastic blog every day!
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for checking back in with us! Definitely give your eyes a few days to adjust. Sometimes things seem bad/cluttered/busy just because they’re new and different but within a few days you could take them out of the room and the space would look bare and flat without them!

Julie Shein says
Thanks for all of your help, we have made great changes due to your suggestions. We are trying to find a rug for our living room. The room is 19×14. We have a symetrical sectional in one corner, a baby grand piano in another corner and a catty corner armoir in another. The room is right off the entrance way and is a pass through to the dinning room. The floor is wood and I would like a remnant to fill the majority of the room and pull together the whole space. What do you think? Thanks
YoungHouseLove says
We believe that a seating area with a sectional always calls for at least an 8 x 10′ or even a 9 x 12′ rug so we would suggest pursuing one of those options. Overstock.com has a bunch of great options at that size which could be just as affordable as a remnant but may look a bit more finished and add more texture, pattern and detail. Hope it helps!

Carol says
We rent and it will be a couple years until we’re able to buy and really renovate. Do you think putting rugs over carpet is a no-no?

No way, we live that look for defining a seating area (or other space) within a larger room.

I know you are probably super busy with that cute little baby of yours, but I have a quick area rug question.
I love the look of jute rugs and want to purchase some from overstock to add to the look of my hardwood floors. However, I have a 9 month old daughter who is crawling everywhere! Do you think the jute is comfy enough for her to crawl on? If not, do you have any other suggestions for natural but softer area rug?
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer this!
Katie
YoungHouseLove says
Braided jute is usually a lot softer so that’s a good feature to look for. You also might consider hunting down natural fiber rugs that you can feel in person (like those we’ve seen at TJ Maxx or HomeGoods) so you can be sure it’s soft enough for little knees! Good luck.

Lindsey says
Ok I officially have an addiction to your blog! You guys are fantastic!!! My question stems from the advice for bedrooms!! We currently have my boyfriend’s bachelor pad platform bed (as I can’t afford a new bed by myself at the moment and he thinks it’s so “high class” that I can’t convince him to trash it just yet). It’s a queen size and we def need a rug to go underneath. I’ve been looking at 5×7 but I’m afraid that 3 feet up ear the headboard not being covered by a rug will just lookgoofy (the bed is 7 feet long, I’d like a foot of overhang on all sides.. So that’s 8′ of space to be covered by 5′ of rug (because we’ll put it sideays like you said for our excess on both sides).
What’s your take on the rug not meeting the wall by the headboard? The prices between a 5×7 and 8×10 are so huge I want to make it work!!!
Thanks!!
YoungHouseLove says
It’s definitely worth a try! Why not get blue painters tape and tape off the floor where the rug would go to see how it will look. Our own queen sized bed has a 6′ x 9′ rug under it (which definitely doesn’t come close to the baseboard near the head of the bed) and we love it! That being said we do have two built ins that bump out on either side of the bed, so the tape method will help you decide what size you’ll need in your room. Good luck!

kelly says
I have a large rectangular area for my living room– the couch is in front of the fire place, then there is a separate seating area on the other side. Hardwood floors. I bought a 5′ by 8′ adeline rug from Pottery Barn, but it seems too small near my couch. I found one an 8′ by 10′ on Craigslist for a steal. My question is this– is it OK to have two rugs of the same pattern in the same room if there is a good 3 feet between them and they are different sizes? Otherwise, I might just take the 5 by 8 up to the bedroom… Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
YoungHouseLove says
This is one of those cases where there’s really not one right answer. It could look amazing or feel a little repetitive/unbalanced. We would definitely say to go for it and see how it feels, especially since you have a backup plan for the 5×8 rug. Good luck!

Stef says
Do you have any tips for choosing the right rug pattern for a room? I want something fairly bright and geometric for my otherwise neutral living room, but since I’m shopping online and return shipping isn’t so cheap, I can’t test out a lot of options. Any guidance on the right pattern? For example, will a large-scale pattern make the room feel bigger or smaller than a small-scale pattern? I really appreciate the help!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Stef,
The key is to find the right pattern to work with whatever else you have going on in the room. So if you have a big bold pattern on the sofa, pillows, curtains, etc- you’ll want to keep the rug more subdued and less busy so it doesn’t compete. Here’s a post all about mixing and matching patterns and prints: https://www.younghouselove.com/pillow-talk/

Stef says
Thanks for the help. Sorry for asking another question, but I’ve come to trust your judgment. What is your opinion on synthetic rugs? Would you buy a rug for your home that’s made of synthetic materials, or do you stick to wool, jute, and other natural fibers (and why)? Thanks again!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Stef,
That’s totally personal preference! We stick to wool, cotton, and jute/natural fiber rugs for the most part (just because we like that they don’t smell chemically or pill like synthetics can)- but it’s really your call!

Hi Sherry! I love your blog and am really inspired by the passionate, joyful way you’ve both chosen to live life. Kudos!
Here’s my rug question: our living room is about 10×17, with a fireplace/TV/couch seating area at one end (takes about 2/3rd of the room) and the other end has bookshelves and will (eventually) be home to a chaise or small desk.
Do you think it’s weird to do an 8×10 rug under the main seating area and then leave the other end of the room bare? I don’t want to do a custom-sized rug. Thanks in advance!
shannon says
Hey (again)! I think I answered my own question by revisiting your pictures of your living room and den…. :)
Also, what do you think about an indoor/outdoor rug for the living room? I love the pattern of one of the indoor/outdoor rugs by Dash and Albert but I’m worried that it won’t give enough coziness?
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Shannon,
As demonstrated in our den and living/dining room, we’re all about using a rug to define a specific area (like a dining zone or a sitting area) so it’s totally fine to use a rug in one area of a room to ground those furnishings and delineate that zone. And when it comes to an indoor/outdoor rug we’ve heard that they can be durable and awesome, the only complaint that has come up a bunch is that because they’re synthetic some of them tend to offgas (stink to high heaven) for so long that people are driven to return them or dump them in the garage. One quick attempt tot cure this can be laying them out in the sun on a few hot days. The heat causes things to offgas faster thereby hopefully getting rid of that plastic smell. Hope it helps!

Hi S,
We have a small home where many of the rooms can be see by each other. We have carpet all over the house except for the kicthen , foyer, and bathrooms. My dilemna is the home needs grounding! If you are standing in the living room you can see the foyer, kitchen bar stool area, and small dining room… as this is an open floor plan. My question is… How many rugs is rug overload? Should each of these rooms have a rug to define the space. Thanks!
Best!
YoungHouseLove says
It really depends on your space and the colors and how things look together! We just recommend going slowly and adding one rug at a time. You’ll know when you’re “done.” Good luck!

I am looking for a rug for under my dining room table. I like the look of jute – and you also mentioned in this post it was good for kitchens, etc. I have also heard though, they cannot get the slightest bit damp or they mildew quick and leave discolorations. What is your opinion of this? Are there different qualities of jute? I have a 10 yr old little boy, so I need something that can withstand (the possible) spilled milk.
YoungHouseLove says
Hmm, we’ve never heard that! We had a big jute rug in our den for 3+ years (where we spilled things on it, tracked mud onto it, etc) and it was pretty indestructible. We had a simple rug pad under it on hardwood floors and the floors were just fine when we removed it before moving. Hope it helps!

Mark at NW Rugs says
Great post! Rugs offer so much – color, texture, warmth, sound absorption, floor protection, & comfort. The nature of wool makes wool rugs one’s best bet for durability and cleaning. Hand knotted rugs are a bit more expensive but in the long run pay for themselves over time. Many machine made rugs will need to be replaced in 5-10 years while a hand knotted (or even wool hand-tufted)can last anywhere from 25-300 years depending on the quality.
cara says
Thanks for the tips. I’m trying to figure out what size rug to get for our large livingroom. Do to the flow of trafic and an angled/fireplace wall I think only putting the rug under the sectional like you have it may work for us as well.

Wanted to find out what size rug you would suggest for a 9 x 10 sunroon off a kitchen. Will be using a half couch and chair in there. Thanks so much!
