Room & Rule

Find the right rug size, drawn to scale

The right rug size depends on the furniture it sits under: an 8x10 for a queen bed or most living rooms, a 9x12 for a king bed or a 6-seat dining table, and a 5x8 for a twin bed. The calculator draws your own room to scale and shows the reason for each size in inches.
