Interior Design Ideas

In the living room, the best Interior Design Ideas is placing a rug gets a little trickier, but it still all depends on the size

of your space and your plans for laying out your furniture. According to Loloi, you have three main

options for living rooms of various sizes

For smaller living rooms, you have two options: You can go with a smaller rug (like a 5′ by 8′) that can float in the room
in between the furniture, but under the coffee table says Loloi (“A rug that sits six to 12 inches in front of the sofa will
anchor your space nicely, and still allows for walking room around the furniture.”) or if you’re trying to make your space
feel bigger, you’ll actually want a bigger rug that fits all furniture (like in the larger room section below) to unify the space.
For mid-sized rooms, go with a larger rug (like an 8′ by 10′) and place your large, anchor furniture (i.e. the sofa) around so that only the front legs are on top of it. Loloi notes that you’ll want the rug to extend beyond the sides of the sofa, too.
For larger rooms, Loloi suggests getting a bigger rug (like a 9′ by 13′) and using it to frame your space. Then, place all of the furniture completely on the rug. “Just be sure there is still room around the outside of the rug for walking, so you aren’t partially on and off the rug,” Loloi says. Alternately, if you’re trying to divide the room up into different spaces (like various seating arrangements, or an open concept with dining and seating areas), use different rugs to define each of these spaces.
