How to Choose the Right Rug Size for Your Lounge

31 Aug 2025

One of the most common questions we receive is: "What size rug should I choose for my lounge?" As a starting point, aim for a rug that allows at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs to sit on the rug. This visually connects the furniture and makes the room feel bigger. If the space allows, a rug large enough for all lounge furniture legs to sit on top creates a luxurious, hotel-like feel. Avoid floating a small rug in the middle of the room with all furniture off the rug – this can make the space feel disconnected. When in doubt, size up and use a quality underlay to keep the rug safely in place.
