Living rooms often use 8 × 10 ft or 9 × 12 ft rugs. Bedrooms commonly suit 6 × 9 ft, 8 × 10 ft, or 9 × 12 ft depending on bed size. Dining rugs should extend roughly 24 inches beyond the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
The recommendation uses room dimensions and the selected visible-floor border, then chooses the nearest standard rectangular rug size that fits. Furniture placement, doors, vents, and unusual room shapes may require a smaller or custom rug.
