Rug Size Visualizer for Small Rooms
Not sure if you need a 5×8, 6×9 or 8×10? Enter your room and your sofa (or bed), and this tool ranks the standard rug sizes and draws each one to scale on your floor plan.
The rules the visualizer follows
- Living room: the sofa’s front legs sit on the rug, and the rug runs at least 6 in past each end of the sofa.
- Walls: leave about 12 in of bare floor between the rug and the walls. 6–12 in reads as “tight” but can work in a small room.
- Bedroom: the rug sits under the lower two-thirds of the bed and shows about 18 in on each side and at the foot.
- Too small for any standard size? The tool suggests runners or a smaller floating rug instead.
Renter tip: before you order, outline the rug size on the floor with painter’s tape and live with it for a day. It peels off clean and shows you exactly where the edges land.
