Our Rugs & Mats collection covers area rugs, bath mats, and door mats — pieces that ground a room's layout more than almost any other single item.
Sizing a living room rug
The most common mistake is buying too small. As a rule of thumb, front legs of your main furniture pieces (sofa, chairs) should sit on the rug, not floating just off its edge — a rug that only the coffee table touches usually reads as undersized for the room.
Sizing a dining room rug
The rug should extend at least 24–30 inches beyond the table's edge on all sides, so chairs stay on the rug even when pulled out from the table.
Bath and door mats: function first
Bath mats benefit from anti-slip backing and quick-drying material given consistent water exposure. Door mats need to be durable enough for regular foot traffic and, for outdoor use, weather-resistant.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size rug do I need for my living room?
Large enough that the front legs of your main seating rest on it — a rug only the coffee table touches is generally undersized for the room.
How much bigger should a dining rug be than the table?
Extend at least 24–30 inches beyond the table's edges on all sides so chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out.
Are these rugs machine washable?
Check each specific listing for care instructions, since this varies significantly by material and construction.
Do bath mats need anti-slip backing?
It's a strong safety consideration for bathroom use — check the specific product's listing to confirm whether anti-slip backing is included.
