For oriental rugs to look great on your rooms, you need to place them correctly. Here is a guide on how to do it:
Living room
This is the most important room of the house as this is most of your guests get to see. The rug should be large enough to fit underneath the furniture. The rug should comfortably rest under the front legs of all major furniture such as sofa, love seat and armchair.
If you have divided your living room into two seating areas, you should have two different rugs. The rugs should be identical or of the same color palette.
There are some homeowners who have smaller Persian rugs that they would like to show off. If this is the case with you, you should never place the rugs alone—you should place them on top of the larger rugs. For them to stand out, place them at unique angles.
Dining room
The prime rule to observe when placing your area oriental rug in the dining room is to ensure that the rug is centered under the dining table. The rug should also be wide and long enough for the chairs to stay on it even when pushed back.
Dining rooms come in different styles and shapes. You should go for a rug that looks great on your dining room.
Kitchen
The kitchen needs a small rug. Since this is a high traffic area, avoid placing a silk oriental rug here. Place the rug in front of sink or island. If the kitchen has a long distance between the two areas, you should go for a long rug. Also consider placing a rug in front of long expanses of cabinets.
Bedroom oriental rug
A good bedroom oriental rug should fit comfortably underneath the bed. The rug should also extend at least one foot from either side of the bed. For a great look your feet should hit the rug when you wake up in the morning. The nightstand should also comfortably sit on the rug.
Bathroom
You have two options when it comes to bathroom Persian rugs: place the rug in front of the sink or in front of the tub. The rug you use should be of the right size.
Conclusion
The size of the rug is of great importance. Before making the purchase ensure that you take the measurements of the different rooms. This will help you buy tribal rugs of the right size.
