A common arrangemen­t in the living room is a ‘floating’ rug placed in front of the sofa with a coffee table on top of it. This is not a good look for any space as it makes the room feel smaller. For a rug to really work in your living space, it should be large enough to generously accommodat­e your whole seating area. At least the front legs of all your furniture should fit comfortabl­y on the rug, and preferably all your sofas and chairs should be on top of it with room to spare. To avoid the ‘floating rug’ effect, measure the size of your living room as well as the length of your sofas and chairs to establish the minimum size

your rug needs to be before you start shopping.
