Not just any rug will do. The difference between choosing one that is the right size for a room and another whose dimensions are too large or small determines whether the decoration is a success or a failure. When searching for the best rug for a room begins, attention usually focuses on its colors and tones. As well as if it has a certain print or pattern. Even its texture, length and the materials with which it has been made. However, more relevant than all that will be the size of the rug itself.
Opting for the wrong dimensions can cause the room to appear much smaller than it actually is, the result being anything but aesthetic, visually disproportionate, or even ending up not being practical or comfortable. For all these reasons, to find the balance and find a rug of the appropriate size, a series of basic recommendations must be taken into account.
The appropriate size for a rug will be determined mainly by the furniture with which it is intended to be integrated, and, therefore, the type of room. Since the objective is for all the elements to present harmony between them, therefore, the trick is for the rugs to be well aligned with the contours and peaks of the furniture, which act as boundaries.
You can talk at length about the rooms. In the case of the rugs that will be placed in the area where the sofa and the coffee table are located, one of the most common places to show them off, there are several possibilities. One of them includes two sofas or a sofa and a pair of armchairs on one side or both. With the table in the center. The rug should be large enough to cover both of your spaces, although it is important that it stays aligned with your contours, without getting under them. Or go underneath but only at a distance less than half the sofa.
If the room is very large, the opposite situation may occur, that is, it protrudes generously. And if it is a chaise longue, the rug will protrude on both sides or reach just before the longest of your seats. Always in a horizontal position parallel to the sofa.
For dining room table and chair sets, the rug will always be considerably larger and, if it is for four people, square or round in shape. While, if your space is larger, you will opt for a rectangular one.
As for the beds in the bedrooms, there are more possibilities. From rugs that protrude generously and cover the entire space, to others that are located just above the bedside tables or resort to two smaller rectangular rugs on the sides. To which a third can be added to the feet.
