What size modern rug should I use?

Choosing a rug size will, of course, depend on how much space you have to work with in a room, but a good bet for a large, open area is a 12' x 15' rug. These dimensions can cover a lot of floor if you need them to, but you don't have to make as big of a commitment as you would with carpet installation. You can select a smaller size, but in an area with a lot of open floor, a small rug can seem oddly placed.Choosing a rug size will, of course, depend on how much space you have to work with in a room, but a good bet for a large, open area is a 12' x 15' rug.

What are the benefits to a modern 12' x 15' size area rug?

These dimensions are great for big rooms. They can even be spread out between two areas. For example, if you had an open floor plan with the dining room right near the living area, you could use a 12' x 15' rug as a floor covering for both rooms. The size also makes this option a great way to pull a room together. It can add softness and color, while still not appearing to overpower the other decorations. If you want to make a large room feel a little cozier, this size can work well to make the room seem smaller. Although this is a large size of rug, the dimensions still aren't so big that you can't easily roll up the rug and store it away if need be.

What are factors to consider when choosing a rug size?

Before you select a modern rug , think about the rest of your house, or at least the room you're planning to put the rug in. If you want a modern atmosphere, consider finding a rug with geometric shapes and straight lines in colors that work well with the color scheme of everything else. An important factor is to know whether the space is large enough for a 12' x 15' rug. Always measure the area to ensure that there will be leftover space on each end of the carpet. For example, you would most likely want an area at least 14" to 18". Otherwise, a large rug can look like it has been crammed inside, which might make the rooms feel crowded.

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!
