When it comes to home decor, few pieces tie a room together like a well-chosen area rug. Whether you’re designing a cozy living room, a serene bedroom, or a welcoming entryway, selecting the right rug can instantly elevate your space. At Flairmont Furniture & Flooring, we carry a wide selection of stylish and functional area rugs for every room in your home.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose an area rug, including style tips, size guides, and expert advice to help you find the perfect fit.
Why Area Rugs Matter in Home Design
Area rugs serve more than just a decorative purpose. They:
- Anchor your furniture layout
- Add warmth and comfort underfoot
- Define zones in open-concept spaces
- Introduce color, pattern, and texture
Starting your room design with the rug helps guide your choices for furniture and accessories, creating a cohesive, intentional look.
Area Rug Size Guide: Getting the Dimensions Right
Choosing the right rug size is essential for both function and aesthetics. Here’s a quick breakdown by room:
✅ Living Room Rugs
- Rule of thumb: All major furniture (sofa, chairs, coffee table) should sit fully or partially on the rug.
- Common sizes: 8×10, 9×12
✅ Bedroom Rugs
- Place the rug under the lower two-thirds of the bed, allowing it to extend on each side.
- Common sizes: 6×9, 8×10 for queen beds; 9×12 for king beds
✅ Dining Room Rugs
- The rug should extend 24 inches beyond the table on all sides to accommodate pulled-out chairs.
- Common sizes: 8×10, 9×12

Style & Material: Choose What Fits Your Lifestyle
When selecting an area rug, think about both style and functionality:
- High-traffic areas: Go for low-pile rugs or durable flatweaves.
- Bedrooms or lounging spaces: Choose plush or shag rugs for extra comfort.
- Style preferences: From modern and abstract to classic oriental or boho chic, we have rugs to suit every aesthetic.
At Flairmont, we offer a diverse selection of area rugs that pair beautifully with our furniture collections, making it easy to complete your look in one visit.
Trend Alert: Try Rug Layering
Layering rugs is a popular interior design trend that adds depth, texture, and visual interest. Try a neutral base rug with a smaller, patterned rug on top to create a custom, curated look—perfect for living rooms or bedrooms.
