What Size Rug for a Living Room?

The right living room rug size depends on your seating layout and how much floor coverage you want. Measure the seating zone rather than choosing a rug from the room dimensions alone.

Common living room rug sizes

160 x 230 cm can suit compact seating areas. 200 x 290 cm is a versatile option for many living rooms. 240 x 330 cm and 280 x 380 cm can work well in larger or open-plan spaces.

Front legs on the rug

A common layout is to place the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug so the seating area feels connected.

Measure before ordering

Mark the proposed rug area on the floor and check doors, walkways and furniture placement before choosing a size.
