Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common rug layout?
The center layout (all furniture legs off the rug) is most common and creates a defined seating area with visible floor borders.
Should the rug go under furniture?
In a living room, having at least the front legs of sofas on the rug helps tie the space together. Full under-furniture is best for dining rooms.
How large a border should I leave?
30 cm (12 inches) is the minimum for a full-room rug; 60 cm is standard for a centered floating rug look.
