Which are the best size carpets for a standard room?



When shopping for a carpet, most people make their decision based on its appearance, and that is understandable. Though ultimately, the reason people purchase carpets and rugs is to enhance and compliment any interior space. What most people don’t know is that in addition to its appearance, the size of the carpet can change the dynamics of a room. Carpets of various sizes may fit in a certain room, but if placed properly, larger carpets can make the room look bigger. On the other hand, in a large multi-purpose room, carpets of multiple sizes can be used to identify and divide sections of the room. We will discuss how to pick the best size carpets for a standard room in this article.

You can follow the below steps to visualize how the carpet size will fit in your room:

  1. Apply masking tape and create a border on the floor.
  2. Try to keep a space of at least 18 inches of the bare floor around the room to frame the room’s layout and create pathways.
  3. If the room is smaller, you can make do with a space of 8 inches.
  4. Keep a 2-inch margin of error for your carpet dimensions.
  5. Once you have created the right border using masking tape, jot down the dimensions. You can use these dimensions to choose the right carpet size from the standard sizes mentioned below:

 

ROOM SIZE

RECOMMENDED CARPET SIZE

5*7 feet

3*5 feet

7*10 feet

5*8 feet

10*12 feet

8*10 feet

11*14 feet

9*12 feet

14*17 feet

12*15 feet

 

For example, let’s look at how to pick the best size carpets for a standard room:

The carpet should be the size of the room’s seating area for it to ground the conversation space. Your carpet should be at least a foot wider than the sofa on either side. Try to orient the carpet to the shape of the room. This helps create visual flow and makes the room look bigger than it is.

Now let’s look at the best size carpets for a standard room based on your furniture placement:

  • All furniture legs on the carpet - 10 x 14 feet

This placement allows you to create a unified look in your living room with a carpet large enough to accommodate all your furniture.

  • Only the front legs of the furniture on the carpet - 9 x 12 feet

This arrangement can be used to create a cohesive look without the cost of a room-sized carpet.

  • All furniture legs off the carpet - 6 x 9 feet

If your budget is even more constrained, you can make do with a small carpet that will still add style and comfort to your living room.

  • Rounded arrangement - 12 x 12 feet

This is an unconventional option, but a large round carpet can also distinguish your living area.

Hopefully, this guide will help you choose the best size carpets for a standard room.
