Learn More About 12 x 15 Size Area Rugs (in Feet) / 3.66 x 4.57 (in Meter)
12 x 15 area rugs tend to mostly be considered oversized rugs. This is due to the fact that for most people, it will not likely be too big to fit in their apartment unless they want it to have the look of wall to wall carpet. A rug of this size is made for a substantial space and will add an elegant touch within the right room. When you think of a rug of this size, you usually think of a large, Victorian mansion, Craftsman-style house or country farmhouse interior.
If you have a larger formal dining room, a 12′ x 15′ size is the perfect size rug for accommodating a dining room table that can be extended for gatherings of family and friends. You can easily fit all the chairs on the rug and give everyone plenty of room to move away from the table without creating the feeling of instability. A rug of this size will highlight the length of the room making it perfect for formal entertainment.
In an open-plan architectural space, the 12 foot by 15 foot size area rug can help set aside a functional area for dining, conversation, a bedroom, or a home office. The 12 by 15 rug size gives you many options for designing your open-plan space to suit your lifestyle. Anytime you have a room in your home that needs to serve a dual purpose, an oversized rug can give you plenty of space, yet it will still give the area to create a functional and organized feel.
Traditionally, rugs are used in the living room as the foundation for a coffee table or to create texture and color in front of a sofa, but bigger rugs give you many more possibilities.
Interior designers recommend that for a cohesive look, at least two legs of your furniture should be on the rug. This allows you to use the rug as a central frame for the rest of the room design. Positioning the area rug in such a way also gives the illusion that the rug “disappears” behind your furniture, which can make the room look larger. This is also an effective technique to make your bedroom look roomier.
Nothing is better than stepping out of bed onto a soft, warm cozy rug on a cold day. A larger rug allows you to place the entire rug underneath the bed and still have room on both sides to create a cozy landing for your feet.
The 12 feet by 15 feet area rugs area also big enough to fit a set of nightstands on both sides of the bed. Placing a large rug with the bed centered on the rug can make the room look larger. If you want a more creative look, or your bed is on one side of the room due to a window, you can place the bed partially on the rug with a larger portion of the rug covering the remaining floor space. This technique will help to balance out the space in a room with a window that is off center.
If you have the space, a larger 12 x 15 area rug gives you many options for creating a balanced space and for unifying and tyg in your most favorite decorative pieces. A large rug can also cover any blemishes on a floor that has seen some wear through the ages.
A 12′ x 15′ size area rug allows you to create a space that is either cozy and intimate or one that has a more open feel.
How do people decorate with 12×15 rugs?
Decorating with a 12′ x 15′ rug provides a great opportunity to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of a larger room.
Here are some tips and ideas on how to effectively decorate with an area rug that is 12×15 in size:
- Define Zones: In an open-concept living space, a 12′ x 15′ rug can help define distinct zones within the room. For example, you can place the rug under a seating arrangement to create a cozy conversation area. This helps visually anchor the furniture and defines the space.
- Furniture Placement: Ensure that the front legs of key furniture pieces, such as sofas and chairs, are placed on the rug. This creates a cohesive and connected look between the rug and the furniture. The rug should extend beyond the furniture to create a balanced and visually pleasing layout.
- Centerpiece Rug: In a spacious dining room, a 12′ x 15′ rug can serve as a centerpiece under the dining table. Make sure the rug is large enough to accommodate the table and chairs comfortably, allowing enough space for guests to pull out chairs without leaving the rug.
- Layering: Layering rugs such as a smaller rug or two on top of the 12′ x 15′ rug can add depth and texture to the space. Consider using smaller rugs in complementary colors or patterns to create an interesting visual contrast.
- Color and Pattern Coordination: Choose a rug that complements the color scheme and style of your room. If your room has bold or intricate patterns, opt for a rug with a more subdued design to balance the visual elements. Conversely, a rug with a striking pattern can become a focal point in a more minimalist or neutral room.
- Texture and Material: Consider the texture and material of the rug. A 12′ x 15′ rug can introduce luxurious comfort and warmth to a room with a plush or shaggy texture. Alternatively, a flat-weave or natural fiber rug can bring a casual and breezy feel.
- Accessorize: Use the rug as a starting point for selecting other decor elements in the room, such as throw pillows, curtains, and artwork. Choose accessories that complement the rug’s color palette and style.
- Consistent Theme: Maintain a consistent design theme throughout the room. Ensure that the rug harmonizes with the overall style, whether it’s contemporary, traditional, bohemian, or any other design theme.
- Rug Care: Properly maintain and clean the rug to ensure its longevity and pristine appearance. Regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning can help keep the rug in top condition.
- Personal Touches: Add personal touches to the room, such as family photos, decorative items, and plants, to infuse your unique personality and style.
Remember, there are no hard and fast rules in interior design and home decorating. Your creativity can and should play a significant role in achieving a harmonious and visually appealing room with a 12′ x 15′ rug as the foundation.

Twenty or so years ago my father gave me a beautiful antique Persian rug - after so many years (and kids and pets) it needed some TLC, so I brought it to Nazmiyal. I just picked it up today and - wow! They got the stains out entirely and the entire rug is brighter; they also made some repairs - it's back in my living room and looks fantastic, and the bill was lower than I'd expected. Overall it was a great experience - the people are wonderful, the work was perfect, and I saw so many beautiful rugs at their store that I found myself wishing for a larger apartment. Next time I need any work done on a rug, or find an open bit of floor I know where I'll be heading.

It is always a delight going to the Nazmiyal showroom. This Qashqai is one of several purchases made over the years, and mom is truly enjoying it. Jason and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They listen to the customeru2019s needs. When I go to the showroom, it is like visiting my family because we have the same appreciation for the textile arts.nnOriental carpets are a rare discipline to be educated in, because you canu2019t go to a university to have certain types of training and experience, such as knowing the cultures and processes of carpet weaving. Jason has such a refined eye that he can distinguish a good rug from a great rug, and that knowledge is offered to the customer to elevate their point of view.nnComing here has been an initiation into a world of culture, art, and beauty which has sustained me, and for that I am grateful.

Loved my runner rug purchase from Nazmiyal. Love the ability to purchase, try and return if it didn't work out! I had it shipped to California and everything worked out beautifully!

NAZMIYAL is the best source for antique and vintage rugs and carpets. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, Jason himself is an amazing dealer who handpicks each and every piece in his stunning collection and is happy to educate the consumer, not just make a sale. I always trust his experience and great eye for all my spaces!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Nazmiyal. I was very impressed by their selection, the quality of their beautiful carpets, and their extremely reasonable prices. Really I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone at the gallery was - especially Omri, work with him if you can! - and how happy I am with my new antique rug. Five stars, highly, highly recommended!
