The remnant we purchased for our master bedroom Iis still perfect for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-rug-1#post-1122303 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 18:29:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1122303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: we ended up buying a carpet remnant and having the edges bound. Cheaper then a rug because we couldn't afford a 13 ft rug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-rug-1#post-1122298 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 18:23:52 +0000 PurplePeony 1122298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: your dining table is about the size of ours and we have a 6'x9' rug under it. It looks fine, and it's plenty big enough on the sides that all the chair legs stay on the rug when people are sitting in them. It's too short for that on the ends, though -- the chair legs are all on when the chairs are pushed in, but the back two legs are off the rug when people are sitting there. It's kind of irritating, but not enough to make us up the size to a bigger rug (which wouldn't really fit in our dining alcove anyway. So I think you're fine to go with that size, just be forewarned.</p> <p>Regarding the living room, I'd either go for the rug that tucks nicely into the sectional's "L" or a really huge one that could accommodate the entire sofa. I wouldn't choose something in between, I think it would look awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-rug-1#post-1122270 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 18:02:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1122270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: that's what I'm leaning toward for the fam room. Im just lamenting the price dif since I missed out on their rug sale. I'm going to come back on the weekend and try to catch our old salesperson. Maybe he will give us 10% off since we bought so much from him already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-rug-1#post-1122265 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:59:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1122265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a big sectional but we did a HUGE rug. We like that the couch sits on the rug and LO has plenty of room to play. For us bigger was better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-rug-1#post-1122263 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:58:01 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1122263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family room sectional is 12 feet by 9 feet. If I get a 6 by 9 rug the rug would fit perfectly inside the sectional. If I get a 8 by 10 some of the legs will be on the rug and the rug will spill over a bit beyond the sofa arms.</p> <p>I am thinking a 6 by 9 will work for my dining room and living room rug. The dining room table is 40" by 76". At first I was looking at 7'6" by 9'6" rugs, but that's practically 8 by 10 and too big. The living room sofa is 90" long. </p>
