Area Rugs Frequently Asked Questions

What size should my rug under my Dining Room table be?
Ideally, your rug should cover any flooring once a chair is pulled out. You don’t want to sit half on rug and half on flooring, plus you don’t want to take a chance of scratching your wood floor by not having protection.

Most people don’t really want to cover their beautiful hardwood, so have a hard time with this, but it’s best for your floor.

In my Living Room, I want all my furniture to sit on a rug, with the exception of tables that line the walls. What size should my rug be, and will I be able to fine a patterned rug that size?
If your furniture sits mainly in the center of your room, with end tables or armoires along the perimeter, then you will make your room look larger if your rug comes out from the wall about 18” to 2”. You want all your non-moveable furniture to be on wood (or tile) around the room. The furniture in the center needs to be all on a rug.

If you have to walk through this room to get to another room, you also want to always be walking on the rug, not half rug and half hard surface flooring.

Now, most larger rugs are very expensive, so this keeps a lot of people from purchasing 9x12 or larger, and a lot of rugs just don’t come any larger. One option is to make a rug out of a printed or patterned carpet, and it can then be made any size.

Another option is to use a solid carpet, and use the rug area for color only, with pattern in your upholstery and/or window treatments.

Can I return a rug if I really don’t like it?
Custom rugs are not returnable, so we always make sure you’re going to love them. Rugs that are stocked by our vendors can usually be returned, however they charge us a 15% restocking fee, so that is what we would need to charge you, plus they charge us shipping both directions.
