What size area rug for this space?
Comments (3)I'm all for asking what others would do, but you have to live with it. As to how big a rug and where to put it - while you're deciding on that, lay out newspaper where you think you might like a rug both at the end of the room or covering the larger area. That will at least give you an idea of the size to look for and help you decide if the rug will stand alone or be partially covered by furniture, etc. And most places selling carpets will let you try them out in your home - a "seven days to love it" type policy.

Comments (3)You can go as large as to leave about 18" of floor around the perimeter, or you can wait until the bar stools are in place and see if leaving the same amount of floor exposed on all sides of the rug works. Painter's tape will be your friend in trying different sizes taped out on the floor. Don't forget to allow space for pulling the bar stools out to sit on them....See MoreCombined bedroom/home office space: rug placement & other layout tips?
