Anchor Furniture Seamlessly.
Free rug size calculators: the right rug for living rooms, dining sets, beds, and hallways — with furniture placement rules built in.
Front Legs On Rule
At least front legs of sofas and accent chairs should rest firmly on the rug to ground conversation areas.
Dining Chair Pull-Out Buffer
Extend rug 24–36 inches past the table edge so chair legs don't catch on edges when pushed back.
18-Inch Perimeter Border
Leave 12 to 18 inches of exposed hardwood flooring between rug edges and room walls.
