The first rule of choosing an area rug is to
understand that really are no rules per se.
Since much of the selection process is based on
your own personal taste and sense of style, we
simply offer some general guidelines instead.
Size Guidelines
Room size rugs should leave a
border of 18" to 24" on all sides.
Dining room
rugs should measure at least 4' longer and wider
than the dining room table, so chairs will not
fall off the rug when pushed back from the
table.
Hallway rugs should leave be
approximately 2" to 4" narrower and 18" to 24"
shorter than the hallway.
Other area rugs will
vary in size according to need.
Design
Guidelines
Try using different patterns that
use some common colors in the same room for a
coordinated look that is also fresh.
Don't get
boxed in by traditional rectangular or square
rugs. Consider oval and round shapes as a way to
inject new life in a room.
Wear Guidelines
Consider traffic patterns, exposure to spills
and other wear factors when choosing area rugs.
