How to Measure for a Rug or Carpet
Rug under sofa, under bed, in dining room, three different rules for three different placements. Plus the universal "no rug smaller than your sofa" rule.
A too-small rug makes a room look smaller. A too-big rug runs under doors and walls awkwardly. The right size depends on what the rug is anchoring, sofa, bed, dining table, and each has its own rule.
왜 측정하나
- Living room: anchor the sofa visually
- Bedroom: extend past the bed for warmth on feet
- Dining room: chairs must remain on rug when pulled out
- Hallway: leave 10-15 cm of floor visible on each side
준비물
- iPhone with Ruler AR
- Manual Room Builder for irregular shapes
단계별 안내
- Living room, measure sofa + side tables. Rug should be wider than the sofa and ideally extend under the front legs of chairs/loveseats. Tap from sofa-left edge to right edge.
- Bedroom, measure bed + 60 cm beyond. Rug should extend 60-90 cm past the bed on three sides (left, right, and foot). Common: bed + 90 cm each side.
- Dining, measure table + chair pullout. Rug must be larger than (table footprint) + (chair depth × 2). Standard: table width + 90 cm on each side.
- Hallway / runner. Length: hallway length minus 30-50 cm. Width: hallway width minus 20-30 cm. Don't cover the entire floor, leave visible margin.
팁
- Layered rugs (small over large) for visual interest
- Always use rug pads, prevents slipping and protects floor
흔한 실수
- Sofa floats off the rug (legs touch wood), rug too small
- Chair legs slide off the rug edge when pulled, rug too small for dining

Wider than your largest sofa. All-the-way-under preferred; at minimum, sofa's front legs on the rug.
