Living-room rug placement should connect the seating area and create a balanced visual zone. The right position depends on the room dimensions and furniture arrangement.

Front legs on the rug

In many living rooms, placing the front legs of sofas and chairs on the rug creates a connected seating area without requiring the entire furniture footprint to sit on the rug.

All furniture on the rug

Large living rooms can often accommodate a larger rug with the main seating furniture fully on it. This can make an open-plan room feel more cohesive.
