Square Rugs

The layout sets the square. A 7x7 ft suits a pair of chairs and a table, an 8x8 ft a square table for four, and a 10x10 ft a table for eight. They are $1,157, $1,515 and $2,127 in any design, and the size guide has the room rules.

In a long room, under a long sofa against a wall, a rectangular dining table or a bed: each has a long axis, and a square leaves bare corners. It suits a layout centered on a point. A circle suits some rooms better, and when to use a round rug says which.

On it, from every side: around a coffee table on an 8x8 ft, four chairs rest their front feet on the wool. Around a square dining table, the chairs sit fully on the rug, even pulled back.

Ones without a direction, like a grid or a tiled repeat, which look right from any side. Stripes point one way, so lay them toward the main view.
