Area Rug Sizes and Shapes

Unlike wall-to-wall carpeting, throw rugs are easy to install and effortlessly cover any size space you need. Whether you’re looking to add a small patio rug or a large area rug in your living room, we have the right rug size for you! 

We offer everything from 6' x 8' to 12' x 18' sized rugs so you can find the right size area rug for your room. When it comes to calculating rug size, it’s best to match the size of your room to the size of your rug, so with a large room, you’ll want a large rug and vice versa. 

An easy way to visualize the rug size is by using painter’s tape to outline where the rug would go in your space. It’s always best to measure first, so you’ll love it later! 

Choosing the right rug shape is important too. The shape of your area rug can section off or highlight areas of the room with little-to-no effort. So you can have an eye-catching addition to your room in no time. 

Rubber is the ideal material for stall mats, for a lot of reasons. It’s impact-absorbant, slip-resistant, durable, and easy to clean and maintain. The anti-fatigue properties provide comfort for your four-legged friends, and the rubber also provides some thermal insulation compared to bare concrete floors. 

One drawback to rubber horse mats is the smell. With cheaper rubber especially, the floor will off-gas and produce a distinct rubber odor. To address this less-than-pleasant smell, keep the area well-ventilated, and mop the floor with a mild soap and water mixture a few times. 

Available rug shapes:

• Rectangle: Often considered the “safe” rug shape, rectangle rugs can go in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, patios, and kitchens. Depending on the size, rectangular rugs are ideal for highlighting and sectioning out a room.
• Oval: A unique area rug shape, oval rugs are great for bedrooms, kitchens, or even used as a bedside rug. A lot of oval-shaped rugs are also used in kid’s rooms as play rugs.
• Round: Round throw rugs are great for accentuating other round objects such as a table, creating a specific area in the room, or adding a nice accent to a small room. They are popular in bedrooms, dining rooms, entryways, and living rooms.
• Square: Given that most furniture has straight edges and right angles, a square area rug is perfect for lining up furniture in a living room, on a patio, or in a bedroom, depending on its size.
• Oblong: Oblong-shaped rugs are primarily found in kids playrooms, or maybe under a nice rocking chair.
