Rug Size Guide:
Tips for every space
Choose a rug that extends beyond the sides of your bed —
so your feet always land on something soft and cozy.
King Bed
When choosing a rug for a king-sized bed, a rug measuring 9' x 12' or larger works best. This size fits provides about 2 feet of coverage on all sides for maximum comfort.
- Shop extra-large rugs
Queen Bed
Rugs between 6' x 10' and 8' x 10' are ideal for queen-sized beds. A 6' x 10' rug provides about 19" of coverage on each side, while an 8' x 10' rug offers up to 3 feet of rug space.
- Shop large rugs
Full Bed
We recommend a 5' x 7' or 6' x 9' area rug for full-sized beds.These sizes fit neatly underneath for a visually balanced and cozy bedroom setup.

Twin Beds
Runners can be styled beside or between twin beds, which make a great addition for guest bedrooms, dorms, and other shared spaces.

Shop washable and easy care rugs
From round tables to long banquets, we have rugs designed to fit every layout and lifestyle.
Whether round or rectilinear, your rug should extend at least 2’-3’ around all edges of the table. This prevents the chairs from awkwardly going off the rug when they’re pushed back as you sit down or stand up.

Hallway Runners
Keep your day moving with rugs that cushion every step for round-the-clock comfort.
Shop all runners
Woven from high-quality materials, our runners are perfect for busy homes with high-traffic areas.
You’ll want a runner which is at least 1’, but not much more than 2’, shorter than your hallway, and 1’ more narrow, so it doesn’t bunch up against walls or doorways.
If you have furniture in your hallway, either position your runner to one side with any furniture against the opposite wall, legs on bare floor, or center it so that furniture is on both sides.
