A misplaced or wrong sized rug will throw off your whole living room.

Because an area rug will give you some basic structure around where to place your furniture.
If you opt for a smaller rug keep the rug proportionate to your couch.
Area rugs can make a grand statement and give a room a polished look.
Think of a rug as an anchor for the room rather than a platform.
Your eye will have a nice visual flow around the room.
That said how your living room furniture is arranged on or off a rug can ultimately determine the look and feel and flow of your space.
But do you know how to select the right size.
Similarly you don t want a rug to appear as a tiny island lost in the vast sea of your living room floor.
Whether you are looking for contemporary.
You want a little bit of leeway between the wall and your rug.

Place the rug in the centre of the living room under your ottoman or coffee table and place at least the front legs of your your sofa and armchairs on the rug too so that the rug disappears underneath the furniture and the furniture frames the area.

This means couch legs chair legs and coffee tables will all be on the rug completely.
