About the Area Rug Size Calculator

A well-proportioned area rug leaves an even strip of floor showing around its edges rather than covering wall to wall, which typically means leaving 12-24 inches of border on each side.

Formula: Rug Dimension = Room Dimension − (2 × Border Margin, converted to feet)

Enter your room's dimensions and your preferred border width to get a recommended rug size, then round to the nearest common rug size (like 8x10 or 9x12) when shopping.
