Area Rug Under Coffee Table Only. Do extend rugs under furniture. When selecting an area rug make sure that it extends under all the key pieces of furniture in the room. The front two legs of your furniture will be on top of the area rug.
Only a coffee table on the rug perfect for small or narrow spaces this layout plays off the room s scale to make it feel larger. You can go with a smaller rug like a 5 by 8 that can float in the room in between the furniture but under the coffee table says loloi a rug.
Lastly you could choose to only have your coffee table on the rug and leave your living room seating off the rug though interior designers warn that this is the number one decorating mistake they notice in homes as small rugs can actually make your space look even smaller.
To get the proportions right base the rug size on the interior dimensions of your seating area and not just the coffee table so it fills the negative space created by your furniture grouping. To get the proportions right base the rug size on the interior dimensions of your seating area and not just the coffee table so it fills the negative space created by your furniture grouping. This will not only provide the same grounding appearance that a rug imparts when placed under a table and collection of chairs but also add some color pattern and durability to the space. So when you use an itty bitty rug in a large seating group it will look dwarfed in its surroundings.
