Living Room Rug

A wool or synthetic blend rug is ideal for a living room due to durability, easy maintenance, and softness underfoot, making it comfortable for high-traffic areas while adding warmth and style.

Generally, place the front legs of furniture on the rug to anchor the space, creating cohesion. The rug should ideally extend beyond the furniture’s edge to define the area.

For most living rooms, an 8x10 or 9x12 rug works well, offering enough coverage to fit under the front legs of seating furniture, balancing the space.

Quality rugs range from $200 to $1,000+, depending on size, material, and craftsmanship. Wool and handmade options generally cost more but offer durability and aesthetic appeal.

Ideally, the rug should extend 6-8 inches beyond the front legs of the sofa to create a visually cohesive look and anchor the seating area.
