When it comes to enhancing your home or office decor, the right carpet size can make all the difference. A well-chosen carpet defines spaces, adds warmth, and pulls your design together seamlessly. At Bashir Carpet Industries, we craft carpets in a variety of sizes to suit every room and every need — from cozy corners to grand living areas.
Here’s your complete guide to selecting the perfect carpet size for different spaces:
Popular Carpet Sizes and Where to Use Them
1. Small Rugs (2' x 3', 3' x 5')
Best for:
- Entryways
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms
- Small reading nooks
Why:
Small carpets are ideal for creating accents in compact spaces. A 2’x3’ rug by the front door offers a warm welcome, while a 3’x5’ rug under a coffee table adds texture without overwhelming the room.
2. Medium Rugs (5' x 7', 6' x 9')
Best for:
- Bedrooms
- Home offices
- Dining areas (for small tables)
Why:
Medium-sized rugs help anchor furniture pieces together. In bedrooms, placing a 5'x7' rug under the lower two-thirds of the bed creates a cozy, layered look. In small dining areas, a medium rug provides just enough space for chairs to move without going off-rug.
3. Large Rugs (8' x 10', 9' x 12')
Best for:
- Living rooms
- Master bedrooms
- Large dining rooms
Why:
A large carpet frames an entire seating or dining area, making it feel unified and luxurious. In a living room, an 8’x10’ rug should allow all furniture legs (at least the front ones) to rest on the carpet — creating visual harmony.
4. Oversized Carpets (10' x 14' and beyond)
Best for:
- Grand halls
- Ballrooms
- Open-concept spaces
Why:
Oversized carpets add grandeur and a sense of intimacy to vast spaces. Perfect for high-end interiors, these carpets prevent large rooms from feeling empty and cold, offering both elegance and acoustic softness.
Choosing the Right Carpet Size: Pro Tips
✅ Measure First:
Always measure your space before selecting a carpet. Consider the furniture layout and traffic flow.
✅ Leave a Border:
Ideally, leave at least 8–18 inches of floor exposed around the carpet to frame the room nicely.
✅ Functionality Matters:
Think about the purpose of the room. For instance, in high-traffic areas, a slightly larger rug can reduce wear and tear on flooring.
✅ Layering Trend:
Layering a smaller patterned carpet over a large neutral one is a growing trend — perfect for adding depth and character!

Final Thoughts
The right carpet size balances your room, enhances comfort, and ties your decor together effortlessly.
When in doubt, go slightly bigger — a too-small carpet can make a space feel disjointed, while a larger one brings a sense of luxury and flow.
