Select The Perfect Braided Rug For Your Home
Living Room
Enhance your living room with the perfect rug. Take a moment to consider your furniture and explore the array of layout options available. If your living room boasts an open floor plan, our rugs are designed to do more than just add style - they also help define the space and enhance the acoustics, creating a truly captivating ambiance.
10' x 13' Rugs
Our 10'x13' rug is designed to seamlessly fit in a 12'x18' or larger area, ensuring a flawless match for your expansive space and transforms your living room or open floor plan.
8' x 11' Rugs
Our 8'x11' rug is expertly crafted to complement an 11'x13' or slightly larger area, whether it's a room or an open floor plan. Achieve a defined living area layout that includes a 12"-18" border of flooring around your rug.
7' x 9' Rugs
In an 11'x13' or smaller space, the 7'x9' rug is an ideal fit. This size allows for approximately 2 feet of flooring to border the rug on each side, creating a balanced and visually appealing layout.
5' x 8' Rugs
The 5'x8' rug is tailored to fit snugly underneath a coffee table, adding a touch of elegance to your space. Alternatively, it can be placed in front of a cozy fireplace, allowing two comfortable chairs to sit almost entirely on the rug.
4' x 6' Rugs
The 4'x6' rug provides ample floor area coverage in a small living room. Additionally, it makes a wonderful addition to medium-size living rooms when placed under the coffee table, with the front legs of the couch off the rug.
3' x 5' Rugs
The 3'x5' rug can be placed in front of a sofa, under a coffee table, near a corner chair, or as a focal point near an entryway. Moreover, the 3'x5' rug can also serve as an accent piece, complementing your existing décor.
Dining Room
When selecting a rug for your dining space, consider choosing one that is approximately four feet larger than your dining table. This ensures that the rug provides generous coverage, accommodating all dining chairs comfortably and allowing them to remain entirely on the rug, even when pulled out.
Large Table (8+)
Achieve the ideal arrangement for your dining table of eight or more with an 10'x13' rug. This size provides ample space for all chairs to comfortably sit on the rug when seated, creating an inviting dining experience.
Medium Table (6)
The perfect fit for your six-seat dining table is our 8'x11' or 7'x9' rug. These sizes are ideally suited to accommodate your table, allowing for ample space on all sides. Your dining chairs can be moved with ease while remaining on the rug.
Small Table (4)
The perfect fit for your four-seat dining table is our 8' round rug. This size is specifically designed to accommodate your table and chairs. Alternatively, you can float the table and chairs in the center of one of our square rugs.
Bedroom
Consider the dimensions of your bed as a key factor in your selection process. For a striking visual impact, opt for a generously sized area rug placed beneath the bed, instantly transforming the entire room. Alternatively, a smaller rug tastefully positioned beside the bed adds a charming touch while ensuring your feet land on a soft surface.
King Bed
The 10'x13' rug is perfectly suited for a king bed, as it comfortably sits beneath the bed and nightstands. With approximately 2 feet of soft rug underfoot around the bed, you can experience ultimate comfort as you step out of bed each day.
Queen Bed
This size provides 3 feet of rug on either side of the bed, creating a balanced and visually appealing look. Alternatively, our 7'x9' rug offers an 18" border on each side, adding a stylish touch to your bedroom decor.
Full Bed
The 7'x9' rug fits seamlessly under the bed, adding a touch of elegance to your space. Alternatively, for added cushioning and style, you can opt for two 3'x5' or 4'x6' rugs on either side of the bed to create a visually balanced look.
Twin Bed
Our 8'x11', 7'x9', or 5'x8' rugs all fit perfectly underneath, leaving ample room around the border. Alternatively, you can opt for two 4'x6' or smaller rugs on either side of the bed, creating a cozy and cushioned ambiance.
Double Twins
Consider placing a 3'x5' rug between the two beds, creating a cohesive look. Alternatively, you can add a touch of elegance and define the space by positioning a 2'x6', 2'x8', or 2'x10' runner rug across the middle of the beds.
Kitchen
When selecting a rug for your kitchen, it's important to take into account both the size and layout of your space. As a helpful guideline, the area in front of the sink is the most practical and functional location to place your rug. To enhance your comfort while working in the kitchen, consider adding a rug pad beneath. This additional layer provides valuable support for your feet, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable cooking experience.
Large Kitchen
For a larger kitchen, you have flexibility to consider a 4'x6' or 5'x8' rug. These sizes complement the spaciousness of your kitchen. If you have an island, you can enhance the space by placing a 3'x5', 4'x6', 5'x8' rug, or a runner rug on either or both sides.
Medium Kitchen
If space permits, a smaller 3'x5' or 4'x6' rug can be a suitable choice, adding a touch of style and comfort to your kitchen floor. Alternatively, if you have a sink area, a runner rug or slice placed in front of the sink can provide a functional and visually appealing option.
Small Kitchen
Depending on your layout, you can opt for a 2'x3' or 3'x5' rug to place in front of the sink or oven. Slices and runners also work great for this. These smaller sizes not only add a touch of style and comfort but also help define the space and prevent it from feeling overwhelmed.
Long or Galley Layout
Enhance the style and functionality of your long, galley-style kitchen with a runner rug. Consider a 2'x6', 2'x8', or 2'x10' runner rug positioned in the center of the kitchen. This placement adds a touch of elegance while providing comfort and floor protection.
Outdoor
Extend the concept of washability to your outdoor spaces. When choosing an outdoor rug, let the layout of your furniture and the dimensions of your patio, deck, or porch be your guiding factors. Take into consideration the size that will best complement your outdoor area. Runners also make excellent rugs outside of patio doors or even your front door!
Large Patio
Consider opting for a spacious 7'x9', 8'x11', or 10'x13' rug size to create a captivating outdoor space. Choose a rug that is large enough to frame and highlight the furniture arrangement, adding a touch of style and defining the area.
Medium Patio/Porch
Medium patios and porches can accommodate a 5'x8', 4'x6', 3'x5', or round rugs to enhance your outdoor seating area. Choose a rug size that frames and highlights your furniture arrangement, creating an inviting outdoor space.
Entryway & Small Spaces
A 3'x5' or small round rug is an ideal fit underneath a small patio table or two conversation chairs. Alternatively, you can opt for a runner rug to serve as a doormat by the entryway, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
Hallway
Our 2'x6', 2'x8', and 2'x10' sizes are specifically designed to fit seamlessly in these spaces. Crafted with durability in mind, our braided, low-profile runner rugs not only add a touch of comfort to your walking experience but also serve as the ideal solution for high-traffic areas throughout your home.
