5 Tips For Buying the Perfect Area Rug

The first pro tip that Kara has is to make sure you select an area rug that has the correct dimensions for your room, paying specific attention to how it will flow with your furniture. She said that the area rug needs to be "large enough for all of your furniture to fit on, at least the front legs, if not both the front and back."

Kara also noted that it is ideal for your rug selection to "fill the entire room, leaving a 12- to 18-inch border of flooring around the perimeter."
