How to choose a rug size?
- Measure the area length and width where you want to place the rug, leaving 2 feet on both sides.

For example, the perfect rug size for a room of 12 ft x14 ft is 10 ft x 12 ft, i.e., 120 ft2.

I just moved into a new apartment and I want to create a space I love being in! I just purchased this sectional. It measures out to about 7.3x11.5. The room I am using it is 14x18. Should I go for a 10x14 rug to cover the entire sectional or something like a 8x12 which would be a snug fit on the length of the sectional but could be placed under the front legs opposed to the entire sectional?
