Oversized rugs typically range from 10x14 to 12x18 feet, with some extending up to 15x20 feet or more for extra-large spaces. These substantial rugs are ideal for open-concept layouts, great rooms, and wide living or dining areas. One of our most popular sizes is the 9'3" x 12'9" rug, which offers slightly more coverage than a standard 9x12 - perfect for tucking under oversized furniture or anchoring larger layouts. Many oversized rugs are available in both neutral and bold styles and can be paired with room divider rugs or hall runners to help define multiple zones in a shared space.

Oversized rugs act as a foundation for the room, so it's important to layer complementary accents on top. Try pairing your rug with statement lighting and lamps, wall décor, or accent chairs to complete the look. You can also use barstools or stylish side pieces to define open spaces and tie everything together. These décor elements help create cohesion while letting your oversized rug anchor the room.

If a 9x12 rug isn't quite big enough, consider stepping up to a 10x14, 12x15, or even a 12x18. These sizes are ideal for wide seating areas, long sectionals, or formal dining rooms with larger tables.

It depends on the room. A 12x15 rug is a great fit for:

• Open living rooms
• Large bedrooms with a king bed
• Formal dining rooms with 8-10 chairs

Before you buy, use painter's tape to outline the size on your floor. That helps you visualize how the rug will sit with your furniture. If the taped area feels too large for your space, consider exploring more rugs to find other size, style, and color options that may be a better fit.

The 18-inch rule is a simple decorating tip: leave about 18 inches of bare floor between the edges of your rug and the walls. This creates a balanced look and helps make the rug feel properly placed, especially in large rooms.

Yes. Ideally, your oversized rug should sit under the front legs of your couch or completely underneath it. This anchors the furniture and avoids the "floating rug" look, especially in large spaces. For L-shaped sectionals, opt for rugs like 10x14 or 12x15 that extend beyond both arms.

A good rule of thumb when choosing a rug size:

• For living rooms: the rug should extend 6 to 12 inches past the sides of your seating.

• For dining rooms: choose a rug that's 24 inches larger than the dining table on all sides, so chairs stay on the rug even when pulled out.

To make a room feel larger, choose a light-colored rug in a shade like beige, ivory, or soft gray. These tones reflect more light and help open up the space visually. A large-scale or subtle pattern can also guide the eye across the room, creating the illusion of more depth. Browse our selection of beige rugs for styles that naturally brighten and expand any room.
