A Persian Rug<\/a> will make a great addition to any room. However, choosing the right one  can sometimes feel a bit daunting. Here\u2019s a great guide on how to select from the most  popular sizes for Persian Rugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitting a Persian Rug in your space <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When adding a Persian Rug to a room, the most important thing to consider is the size  of the rug. Listed below are the four most popular sizes for Persian rugs<\/a>. Which one do  you choose? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, focus on rug placement. Will your couches and loveseats sit on top of it, or will  your rug be more centrally located in the area? If the former, will just the front legs be  on the rug, or will it go all the way to the back legs? If the latter, will it stop just outside  of a central coffee table or extend all the way to the edges of your seats? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to measure your room <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve made these decisions, it\u2019s time to measure your space so that you can  decide which of the most popular sizes for Persian rugs you will choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by removing your furniture from your room. Then, lay some masking tape along  the outer edge of the space you want the rug to occupy. The inner edge of your  masking tape should correspond with the outer edge of the potential rug. This will  allow you to visualize the entire area that the rug will take up in your room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re comfortable with this, put your furniture back into the room into your  preferred layout. Are you still happy with the look and feel of the room? If so, it\u2019s time to  measure. It\u2019s unlikely your room will exactly match the dimensions of the most popular  sizes for Persian rugs. Pick one that is the closest match, and reposition your masking  tape to ensure you\u2019ve made the right choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6×9 or 7×10 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smallest sized Persian Rugs will come in either a 6×9 or 7×10 option. Both of these  are ideal for homeowners who do not want their furniture to sit on top of the rug\u2019s  surface. You\u2019ll typically have a coffee table in the middle, but the rug\u2019s edges will be  clear of your furniture\u2019s front legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8×11 Persian Rugs  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step up is an 8×11. With an 8×11 Persian Rug, it\u2019s more likely that your rug  will extend under your couches and loveseats far enough to be under the front legs,  but probably not the back legs. If you have a central couch with an end table on each  side, it\u2019s likely only one of the four legs of each end table will be on top of the rug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9×12 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 9×12 Persian Rug will usually extend completely under your furniture<\/a> \u2014 end table  legs and all, up to and including the rear legs of your sofa and loveseats<\/a>. For smaller <\/p>\n\n\n\n

spaces, your rug will likely \u201cstart\u201d at your back wall and potentially fill most of a small  living room.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10×13 or 10×1414 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the largest Persian Rugs come either a 10×13 or 10×14 size. Either will fill most  of a room, with a portion of the rug extending far beyond the edges of your furniture.  This size is ideal for larger living rooms or couches that \u201cfloat\u201d between two rooms in  your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Persian rug size<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are also some options or choices for Persian rug sizes that may fit your floor style and settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2×3 Persian Rugs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a small size commonly used as a doormat in hallways or decor rug in smaller space rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2×4 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a small area rug size that can be used in a variety of ways, such as an accent rug, doormat, or even in bathrooms or kitchens. It is also a popular size for runners in narrow spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3×5 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a smaller size, typically used as an accent rug or in smaller room areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3×6 Persian Rugs  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This size is longer and narrower than the 2×3 and can be used in hallways or as a runner, as well as in smaller spaces as an accent rug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4×6 Persian Rugs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a popular size for small Persian rugs, often used as decor pieces or to define a seating area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4×8 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a longer and narrower size that can be used in hallways or as a runner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5×4 Persian Rugs  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a wider and shorter version of the 4×5 and can be used as an accent rug or in smaller room areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5×8 Persian Rugs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rug size is also commonly used for accent rugs, but can also be used as the centerpiece of a room, like bedrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5×10 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rug size is longer and narrower, and can be used as a hallway runner or in a larger room as an accent piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6×12 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a longer and narrower size than the 5×10 and can be used in hallways or as a runner in larger rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8×11 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a standard size for a medium to large Persian rug, suitable for use in the living room and dining room areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12×18 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the largest sizes available and is typically used in grand, formal spaces, such as ballrooms or large foyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18×24 Persian Rugs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an example of an extra-large size for a Persian rug. Rugs of this size are typically custom-made and can be used in very large room spaces, such as grand ballrooms, large conference halls, or other expansive living spaces. As previously mentioned, extra-large Persian rugs can be quite expensive and may require professional installation due to their size and weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
