💡 Design Tip: For a living room, at least the front legs of the sofa should sit on the rug.

🛋️ Living Room Rules

All Legs On: Requires a large rug (9x12+). Best for floating furniture.
Front Legs On: Most common. Connects furniture while keeping cost down (8x10).
Coffee Table Only: Use a small rug (5x8) only for tight spaces.

🍽️ Dining Room Math

The rug MUST be large enough for chairs to remain on it even when pulled out.

Table Width + 48" = Min Rug Width

🛏️ Bedroom Layouts

Full Bed Coverage: Rug starts from nightstands to foot of bed (8x10 or 9x12).
