Rug Size for an L Shaped Sofa

An L shaped sofa needs a rug that answers both arms. Here is how to measure it, place it in a corner and choose between 6x9, 8x10 and 9x12 ft.

A 7 ft three seater wants a rug at least 8 ft long and ideally 9 to 10 ft. How to measure from the sofa, with and without two chairs.

A 9x12 rug is for the room that has outgrown an 8x10: a bungalow drawing room with two sofas, or a master bedroom with a king bed.

An 8x10 rug holds a three seater and two armchairs with every front leg on the rug. Here is the room it needs, and the rooms it does not suit.

An Indian king bed is 72x78 in and a queen 60x78 in. Here is how 6x9, 8x10 and 9x12 ft rugs sit under each, and where to place them.

Measure the seating, not the room. How to choose between 6x9, 8x10, 9x12 and larger rugs for Indian living rooms of every size.
