What size area rug should I get for my living room?

The size of your area rug should be proportionate to the size of your living room. A good rule of thumb is to choose a rug at least two feet wider than your sofa on all sides, leaving enough room for your furniture to be partially placed on the rug.

Can I use an area rug on top of carpet?

Absolutely! An area rug can add style and personality to your carpeted space. Just make sure the rug is thin enough so it doesn't create too much bulk. Use a rug pad to help prevent slipping and protect your carpet.
