Karla Natural Fiber Rug

Living room, option 1:

In this layout, all furniture legs rest on the rug, creating a cohesive look that works well for medium to large spaces or open-concept designs. It can also be a great choice for smaller rooms. Arrange your furniture in a way that fits your style and the room's layout, then measure around the outer edges. Be sure to leave about 6-18 inches of space between the rug and the walls or other boundaries to maintain balance.

Living room, option 2:

In this setup, the front legs of your chairs and sofa rest on the rug, while the back legs remain on the bare floor. Accent pieces don't need to be on the rug. This arrangement works well in smaller spaces or rooms with furniture placed against the wall. Select a rug size that extends under the front legs of your larger seating pieces, ensuring there's enough space between the rug and the walls or other edges.

Bedroom, option 1:

In this arrangement, the rug extends under the entire bed and nightstands, ensuring all legs are on the rug. This setup prevents any wobbling and creates a polished, cohesive look for your bedroom.

Bedroom, option 2:

In this layout, the bed and nightstands stay directly on the floor, while the rug begins at the base of the nightstands and extends toward the foot of the bed. This creates a stylish look while keeping the rug focused on the lower part of the bed.

Dining toom:

Rugs add style and warmth to any dining room. To create a balanced look, center the dining table on the rug and ensure all chairs fit comfortably within the rug's boundaries, even when pulled out.

When deciding how far the rug should extend, make sure there's enough space for chairs to slide in and out easily. This prevents tripping over the rug's edge and protects your floors from damage. To get the right fit, measure 3-4 feet outward from the edge of your table. For better accuracy, pull out your chairs while measuring to visualize how the setup will look.

Hallways and corridors:

Hallway rugs add comfort and can make narrow spaces feel wider. Leave at least 6 inches of space between the rug and the walls for a balanced look. Since hallways are high-traffic areas, choose a rug that stays securely in place to minimize tripping hazards.

Avoid placing furniture legs on the rug in hallways or corridors. This keeps the space safe and ensures the area feels open and uncluttered.

Outdoors:

Outdoor rugs bring texture and comfort to your outdoor spaces. The ideal rug size depends on the setup. For seating areas, choose a rug large enough to fit all furniture or at least the front legs of the seating pieces. For outdoor dining areas, make sure the rug accommodates all chair legs, even when pulled out. Similar to indoor dining spaces, allow 2-3 feet of extra space around the table to ensure chairs can move freely without catching on the rug.

Other things to consider:

• Doors: Make sure each door has enough clearance to swing open over the rug without catching. If there isn't enough space, opt for a smaller rug or one with a lower pile height to avoid any issues.
• Floor grates: To ensure safety, make sure your rug doesn't cover any floor grates. Leave at least 1 inch of space around grates and radiators to allow proper airflow and avoid potential hazards.
• Pathways: Pay attention to common pathways in your home and ensure rug edges don't create tripping hazards. Position rugs securely and keep edges out of hightraffic areas for added safety.
• Walls: For a clean and open look, leave some space between the rug and the walls. No matter the room, aim for at least 6 inches of clearance around the edges of the rug.
