Rug Size Planner

Room to Breathe · Decorating tools

Find the rug that
gives your room balance.

Compare familiar rug sizes against your actual room and furniture. Adjust the breathing room until the plan feels right for you.

Measure in
1. Start with your room

Changing this example replaces the room, furniture and rug measurements below. Then edit them to match your space.

2. Measure the sofa

Positions use the furniture's top-left corner. The sofa front or bed foot faces the bottom of the drawing. Dining table size excludes chairs.

3. Make room for comfort

These are editable design preferences, not safety, accessibility or building-code standards. The dashed area shows your choices.

4. Try a rug

Sizes below are comparison presets. Actual finished dimensions vary by product.

Alignment centers the rug left-to-right. For sofas and beds, its top edge follows your overlap choice; dining rugs are centered under the table. Turning keeps the rug's center in place.

Your room, to scale

Olive = rug · Cream = furniture · Dashed = your comfort area

Top-down, rectangular footprints. Items beyond the room are clipped in the drawing and flagged below.

Compare the familiar sizes

Each comparison uses automatic furniture alignment and tests both 90° orientations. It may differ from your rug's current custom position.

Choose with the room in mind

  1. Measure the room and the outer furniture footprint, including arms or overhangs.
  2. Set the rug coverage and visible-floor border you personally prefer.
  3. Compare sizes, then tape the outline on the floor and test the way you actually move and sit.

A helpful outline, not a verdict

The model includes one main furniture footprint. It does not evaluate doors, other furniture, chair shape, rug thickness, slipping, trip risks, access routes or accessibility. A sofa overlap does not locate its actual legs. Check those details in the room and follow product guidance for an appropriate rug pad.

“Matches your preferences” means only that the rectangles meet the dimensions you entered. It is not a guarantee of comfort or a required design rule.

The planner itself makes no network requests and does not save your entries. Reloading clears them. The surrounding Blogger site may use its own cookies or analytics. To keep a copy, open the printable plan and use your browser's print or PDF option.

How to Measure Kitchen Cupboards for Storage Bins

Image
A storage bin can fit on a shelf and still be awkward to use. The opening may be too narrow, the handle may catch a hinge, or the contents may be impossible to reach without moving everything else. AI-generated design concept showing a cupboard measurement setup; check your own shelf, opening and hinge clearances. Before choosing a container, check two things separately: where it will sit and how it will move. This guide walks through both, with a simple measurement sheet and a cardboard test you can do before buying anything. The short answer: measure the usable shelf, the narrowest opening and the space needed to pull the bin out. Then check the container's outside dimensions, including its handles and lid. A litre or quart capacity tells you how much it holds, not whether it fits your cupboard. In this guide Choose the bin's job Measure the shelf and the opening Test the movement Choose a useful shape Use the final checklist Compare two storage options 1. Give the bin ...

Three Small Entryway Drop Zones Using What You Own

Image
A small entryway has to handle several jobs at once: catching what comes home, keeping everyday things easy to find and reminding you what needs to leave. When all three jobs share one pile, even a generous basket can become difficult to use. AI-generated design concept: a tray, basket and space beneath a bench can become three simple drop zones. Try separating those jobs into three small drop zones. They can be spots on an existing shelf, inside a cupboard or beside a doorway. Start with what you own and test the routine before adding furniture. The short answer: give pocket items a landing place, everyday carry items a home and outgoing things a temporary departure spot. Keep the door and your usual route clear, then limit each zone to what earns its space. 1. Start with the route through the room Clear the loose objects around the entrance. Open the door through its normal movement and notice what happens when you step inside carrying a bag. Include any nearby cupboard doors, ...

How to Check Whether Under-Bed Storage Will Fit

Image
The empty-looking space under a bed is not one open rectangle. Side rails, centre supports, floor coverings and the furniture beside the bed can all affect whether a container will fit and whether you can get it out again. AI-generated design concept: leave enough clearance beneath the bed and enough floor space to pull storage out. Before choosing under-bed storage, map the usable space and test the full movement. A box that disappears underneath the frame is only useful if you can retrieve its contents without rearranging the room. The short answer: measure the lowest entry opening, the clear space between supports and the room available for pulling a container out. Check the bed and mattress makers' storage and ventilation guidance, then test a realistic shape before committing. 1. Decide what belongs underneath Start with a small group of belongings and decide how often you will need them. Spare bedding, occasional bags and out-of-season clothing create different access r...
