Frequently asked questions
How do I measure my sofa for rug sizing?
Measure the length of your sofa from arm to arm. The rug should typically be at least as wide as the sofa, or slightly wider, to create a balanced look, but the simulator will suggest proportions based on your input.
What if my room is narrow?
For narrow rooms, the simulator will recommend rug dimensions that leave adequate floor space on the sides. It considers room width to avoid a rug that looks cramped or leaves too little bare floor.
Does the room type change the recommendation?
Yes, different rooms have different furniture arrangements and traffic patterns. The simulator adjusts suggestions for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas to match typical layout needs.
