Quick answer
Measure your room's furniture layout first, then choose a custom rug size that leaves 12–18 inches of bare floor around the edges for a balanced look.
Why custom sizing matters
A rug that's too small makes a room feel disjointed, while one that's too large can overwhelm the space. Custom rugs let you match exact room dimensions, avoiding awkward gaps or overhangs. This is especially useful for oddly shaped rooms or open floor plans where standard sizes don't fit.
Trade-offs of custom rugs
Custom rugs take 2–3 weeks to weave and cannot be returned or canceled once ordered, so accurate measurements are critical. Also, because they're woven on traditional shuttle looms, slight size variations (up to 1–2%) are natural. Plan for this by adding a small margin to your measurements.
Decision rules for choosing your custom rug size
- Living room: Choose a size that allows front legs of sofas and chairs to sit on the rug, leaving 12–18 inches of floor visible on all sides.
- Dining room: Select a rug that extends at least 24 inches beyond the table on all sides so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
- Bedroom: Place the rug so it extends 18–24 inches beyond the sides and foot of the bed, or use two runners on each side. For king beds, consider a custom 8x10 ft or larger to avoid a floating look.
- Hallway or narrow space: Choose a runner that leaves 4–6 inches of bare floor on each side for a balanced corridor.
