Medium Rugs Unveiled: A Stylish Addition to Your Dining Room

Medium rugs from The Rugs are the perfect addition to any size room or space. A small rug can look uninviting in a medium-sized space, while a large one may swallow the aesthetic you are going for. Read on to learn why medium rugs should be part of your décor.

Size Guide for Medium Rugs

Medium-sized rugs are just the right size for almost any space you need them for. The standard sizes include 6 x 9 and 5 x 8 rugs, usually used as centrepieces in living rooms and home offices. These sizes are versatile enough to give you several ideas about your design, so no two rooms will look the same. 

Also known as ‘in between’ rugs, medium rugs can be used to configure a table towards a wall or even a window. You can also use them near entryways and doors for an inviting look.

Can You Place a Medium Rug in the Dining Room?

Yes, you can. Durable medium rugs under a dining table can last for years with regular vacuuming and maintenance. It can pull your dining room aesthetic together if it is chosen wisely. The right colour and design can support the existing décor and make the space look more dramatic. Pair them with cute lamps and mirrors to make the room stand out more.

The right medium rug can ground your entire dining set, making it look like it is part of the room rather than floating on it. If your dining room looks soulless or plain, selections from Montana, Carina, and other gorgeous collections from The Rugs can do wonders. Place one under the dining table and experiment with the setting.

As a rule of thumb, use a large rug to accommodate all of the dining chairs when they are pulled back from the table. Choose a low-pile medium rug for a smaller space to prevent the chairs from wobbling during dinner!

A rug under a dining table just feels lovely on bare feet. 

How to Position a Medium Size Rug in Your Bedroom

A bedroom without a rug feels incomplete and lifeless. It should be the magnum opus of the space, which can take the ambience to the next level by anchoring the furniture, walls, and floor finish. Due to its compact size, most people prefer to place medium rugs at the foot of the bed. But consider the following if you decide to do the same:

• If the medium rug is more spacious than the bed’s width, place just its top underneath the foot of the bed. It will make the room look larger and add a stylish flair to the space. 
• If the rug is smaller than or the same size as the bed’s width, leave at least 8 to 12 inches of space around the sides for the best impact. It will centre the bed and make your bedroom look like a haven. 
• Place the rug at an oblique angle under a corner of the bed if you have a large bedroom. This is a great idea if you want to give your bedroom a stylish touch.
• Who says you should stick with just one medium rug? Layer several medium rugs to spice up your bedroom's décor. For an eclectic flair, layer with dissimilar rugs, i.e., rugs with different shapes, sizes, and colours.

Medium rugs are the perfect sweet spot between small and large rugs. They are versatile enough to fit into almost any space, and you can layer several for a unique ambience.
