What’s the ideal size for a living room rug? What size rug do you need for a large bedroom? What rug size fits best in a family room? In many cases, you need to go larger than you may initially think. When it comes to rug size, it’s better to err on the larger size, as a too-small rug can look out of place, and may actually make your room appear smaller than it is—an effect that no one strives to achieve. In many cases, 10x14 area rugs for living room will work best in your room layout and with your current furnishings.
A general rule when it comes to selecting area rugs is to leave at least 18 inches of exposed floor around all sides of an area rug. What this equates to for many living rooms, family rooms, open-concept spaces and even master bedroom suites is a 10x14 rug. These large area rugs will help tie a room together with a bow, giving it that finished look that makes your room look like it could grace the pages of your favorite design magazine.
Large area rugs are ideal for rooms with hardwood, luxury vinyl flooring or tile flooring. They will add softness that’s quieter and warmer to walk on, as well as relax the appearance of the room. While a subtle and neutral area rug is best for blending with furniture and other décor, a large statement rug can work in rooms that contain mostly muted colors and an otherwise minimalistic air.
You can also bring interest to your space by focusing more on texture—a thick pile will always lend a feel of luxury to your room. Choose from comfortable and chic rugs in the sizes that will look best in your home.
