Find the standard rug that suits your room or fits your dining table with space to pull out a chair.

How it works

For rooms, it subtracts your floor border from each wall and picks the largest standard size that fits. For dining, it adds 2 ft to every table side.

Before you order

  • Tape the rug outline on the floor and live with it for a day.
  • Sofas and chairs should at least have front legs on the rug.
  • Keep an even border on opposite sides.

Common questions

How far should a rug be from the wall?

About 12 to 24 in is a common border in most rooms, with smaller borders in small rooms.

How big should a dining rug be?

At least 24 in past the table on every side, so chair legs stay on the rug when pulled out.
