Carpet & Rug Size Room Visualizer

How This Tool Works

This visualizer helps you see how different rug sizes fit in your room. Enter your room dimensions and rug dimensions, and the tool creates a visual representation showing the room outline and rug placement. This makes it easy to compare different rug sizes and see how they look in your space before purchasing.

The tool calculates room coverage percentage to help you understand how much of your floor the rug will cover. It also provides quick-select buttons for common rug sizes (5x7, 6x9, 8x10, 9x12 feet) to make it easy to test standard sizes. The visualization is scaled to fit your screen while maintaining proportions.

Rug Size Guidelines by Room

• Living Room: All furniture legs on: 3x4.5m+. Front legs only: 2.4x3.6m. No legs: 1.8x2.7m
• Dining Room: Extend 60cm beyond table on all sides. 1.5m table = 2.7x2.1m rug minimum
• Bedroom: Full coverage: 60-90cm beyond bed. Queen bed = 2.7x3.6m or 3x4.5m rug
• Entryway: Runners (0.6-0.9m wide) or small rugs (1.2x1.8m) work well
• Kitchen: Runners in front of sink/stove, or area rugs in dining nook
• Hallway: Runners that leave 15-30cm on each side

Tips for Choosing the Right Rug Size

• Measure First: Always measure your room and furniture before shopping
• Leave Border: Leave 30-60cm of floor visible around rug edges for balance
• Consider Furniture: Decide if furniture legs should be on or off the rug
• Define Zones: Use rugs to define seating areas, dining areas, or workspaces
• Test Sizes: Use this visualizer to compare multiple sizes before buying
• Think Big: When in doubt, go larger - small rugs make rooms feel disconnected
• Account for Shape: Consider round or oval rugs for round tables or unique spaces
• Traffic Patterns: Ensure rug placement doesn't interfere with door swings or walkways

FAQ

• What size rug do I need for my living room?
  Living room rug size depends on furniture layout. For a seating area: All furniture legs on rug (large): 3x4.5m or larger. Front legs only (medium): 2.4x3.6m to 3x4.5m. No legs on rug (small): 1.8x2.7m to 2.4x3.6m. Leave 30-60cm of floor visible around rug edges. Measure your seating area and use the visualizer to see how different sizes look.
• What size rug for a dining room?
  Dining room rugs should extend 60cm (2 feet) beyond the table on all sides when chairs are pulled out. For a 1.5x0.9m table: minimum 2.7x2.1m rug. For a 1.8x0.9m table: minimum 3x2.4m rug. For a 2.4x1.2m table: minimum 3.6x2.7m rug. This ensures chairs stay on the rug when pulled back. Round tables need round or square rugs with similar 60cm extension.
• What size rug for a bedroom?
  Bedroom rug placement options: Full bed coverage (large): Rug extends 60-90cm beyond bed on all sides. For a queen bed (1.6x2m), use 2.7x3.6m or 3x4.5m rug. Bedside coverage (medium): Rug extends from nightstands to foot of bed, 60-90cm on sides. Runner placement: Runners (0.6-0.9m wide) on each side of bed. The visualizer helps you see how different sizes work with your room dimensions.
• How do I measure my room for a rug?
  Measure room length and width at the widest points. Note furniture placement and traffic areas. Decide on rug placement: centered, under furniture, or defining a zone. Use the visualizer to input room dimensions and test different rug sizes. Consider leaving 30-60cm of floor visible around edges for visual balance. For irregular rooms, measure the area where the rug will go.
• What are standard rug sizes?
  Common rug sizes: Small: 1.2x1.8m (4x6 ft), 1.5x2.1m (5x7 ft). Medium: 1.8x2.7m (6x9 ft), 2.1x3m (7x10 ft). Large: 2.4x3.6m (8x12 ft), 2.7x3.6m (9x12 ft), 3x4.5m (10x15 ft). Runners: 0.6-0.9m wide, 1.8-3.6m long. Round rugs: 1.2m, 1.8m, 2.4m, 3m diameters. Use the visualizer to see how standard sizes fit your room.
• Should the rug be bigger or smaller than the room?
  Rugs should be smaller than the room, leaving 30-60cm (1-2 feet) of floor visible around edges. This creates visual balance and defines the space. Too small: Rug looks lost and furniture appears disconnected. Too large: Rug covers too much floor, losing definition. The visualizer shows coverage percentage - aim for 50-80% room coverage for most applications. Full room coverage (wall-to-wall) is carpeting, not area rugs.
