Rug size planner
Which size? See it in your room.
Pick your room and its size. We lay the real rug down at true scale with the furniture where it usually goes, check the rules designers use, and tell you which size fits best.
Furniture is drawn at common sizes: a 7 ft 4 in sofa, a queen bed, a six-seat dining table. On a 30-night trial, if the size is wrong we swap it for free.
Sizing guide
Three rules. Most rugs are bought too small.
A rug that floats in the middle of the floor makes a room feel smaller. These are the rules our planner checks for you.
01 · Living room
Front legs on
Slide the rug under the front legs of the sofa and the chairs, so the seating sits on one island. Leave 12 to 18 inches of floor at the walls.
Usually 8×10 or 9×12
02 · Bedroom
Two-thirds under
Start the rug just past the nightstands so it runs under the lower two-thirds of the bed, with at least 18 inches showing on each side for bare feet.
8×10 for a queen, 9×12 for a king
03 · Dining room
Plus 24 inches
Add 24 inches on every side of the table, so the back legs of a pulled-out chair stay on the rug instead of catching its edge.
8×10 for six, 9×12 for eight
How they’re made
Named for a root that has dyed rugs red for 2,000 years.
Madder root gives the reds, indigo the blues, saffron and weld the golds. Our weavers spin the wool, dye it in small lots and tie every knot by hand, so no two rugs are quite the same, and a little color drift (abrash) is part of the charm.
We pay weavers by the knot, not the hour, and every rug ships with a card signed by the person who made it.
