Area Rug Size for Large Rooms: Bedroom, Living Room & Bathroom

Picking out the perfect area rug for large rooms requires a bit of a keen eye, and if you’re struggling with the task, here’s a handy guide for you:

Typically, a large bedroom is 14’x16’ and bigger. As a thumb rule, it needs to accommodate a king or California king-sized bed of  6’3×6’ and 6’x6’x7’. Therefore, a 9’x12’ rug is perfect for a large bedroom. 

A large living room is 15’x20’ and bigger, so a 10’x14’ sized rug is perfect for it. An oversized bathroom is 9’x10’ and larger. You can furnish it with a 3’x5’ sized rug or a 4’ round rug. A big home office is 12’x14’ and larger, and it can be perfectly outfitted with a 8’x10’ sized rug.

Below, let’s look at each of these room sizes in closer detail:
