Rug size?

Anonymous
We currently have a an 8x10 rug under our sectional sofa (placed in the corner of a room). Do you think downsizing on our new rug would be a bad choice? Should the edge of the rug go under the sofa or is it ok to have it an inch or two away from the sofa?

The general rule of thumb is that a rug looks better when it's not "floating." So, it should be anchored by at least part of the couch.

I wouldn't go smaller than an 8x10 in a large room like a living room. 11x14 is best, but I realize they're costly.

Smaller rugs are meant for hallways or entry ways.
