Designer Area Rugs for Every Room

Grayson Living carries more than 4,000 area rugs from brands including Loloi, Surya and Feizy, in contemporary and traditional designs. Smaller rugs and runners sit alongside room-size and oversized rugs, and round and square shapes suit entryways, dining spaces and seating groups.

What size rug do I need for a living room?

Choose a rug large enough to hold at least the front legs of the sofa and any accompanying chairs. A larger rug that holds the entire seating group works when you want the furniture gathered within a single area. Mark the rug's outline on the floor with painter's tape and test it against your furniture arrangement before you order.

How big should a rug be under a dining table?

Allow 24 to 30 inches of rug beyond the tabletop on every side, so dining chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. Measure with any table extensions you regularly use. A round rug under a round table follows the same rule, so use the rug's diameter to check that pulled-out chairs still sit on it.

What size rug goes under a bed?

Choose a rug that extends 18 to 24 inches beyond the sides and foot of the bed, so you have rug underfoot as you get up. As a starting point, an 8 by 10 foot rug usually suits a queen bed and a 9 by 12 foot rug a king bed. Check the listing's exact dimensions against your bed frame.

How wide should a hallway runner be?

Choose a runner that leaves about 6 inches of exposed floor on either side along a hallway. Measure the hallway's width first, then subtract about 12 inches to find the widest runner that fits.

Should I choose a round or a square rug?

Choose a round rug when the furniture is round or when you want to soften a room of straight lines, and a square rug when a seating arrangement has similar width and depth. For a round rug, use the diameter to judge whether the furniture fits, including pulled-out dining chairs.

Which rug works best in a high-traffic room or a home with pets?

Start with the High Traffic filter for a busy entryway or the route between a sofa and kitchen. The Pet Friendly and Stain Resistant filters help narrow the selection for rooms shared with animals or used for meals. Choose the features that match how the space gets used, because a quiet bedroom and a family dining area place different demands on a rug.

Can I use an indoor rug on a patio or porch?

Use a rug marked Indoor/Outdoor, or browse our outdoor rugs collection. Water resistance alone does not make a rug suitable for outdoor exposure.

How do I choose a rug color?

Match the rug's undertone to the floor for a quieter transition, or choose stronger contrast to define the edge of a seating area. The collection's gray, brown, ivory cream and taupe rugs give you several starting points for coordinating with existing furniture. Blue, green, red and multicolor rugs bring color into rooms where the larger upholstered pieces are neutral. Compare contemporary and traditional designs against the furniture you already own, paying attention to the part of the rug that stays visible around it. To get a reflective finish, use the Sheen filter and consider how daylight falls across the rug.

Will a rug and rug pad fit under my doors?

Check the listing's exact dimensions and thickness, and add the thickness of a rug pad when measuring clearance beneath doors. For an oversized rug, also measure the delivery route through doorways, stairways and elevators.
