Area Rugs

Area rugs in the standard residential sizes — 5×7, 5×8, 6×9, 7×10, 8×10, and 9×12 — that anchor a living room, dining room, primary bedroom, or home office without dominating it. Persian, Afghan, and Turkish designs, plus premium machine-woven 1200-reed and 1.5M-point construction. Free Sacramento delivery, white-glove placement on request, and nationwide shipping across the US and Canada.

What “area rug” means in this collection

An area rug is a defined, intentional floor piece that sits in the center of a room rather than running wall-to-wall. The dimensions in this collection are the ones that actually fit American residential floor plans — the 8×10 living-room standard, the 9×12 great-room standard, and the 5×7 / 6×9 sizes that work for bedrooms and smaller seating areas. If you need narrower formats, browse our runner rugs; for great rooms and open-plan spaces, the oversized rug collection goes up to 10×13 and beyond.

By room — which area-rug size works where

• Living room (most common): 8×10 with a standard 7-8 ft sofa, 9×12 with a sectional or two-seater + chairs configuration. Front legs of furniture should rest on the rug.
• Primary bedroom: 8×10 under a queen bed (12–18 in. extending past the foot and sides), 9×12 under a king.
• Dining room: Add 24 inches to your table dimensions on every side so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. 8×10 fits most rectangular six-seaters; 9×12 works for eight to ten.
• Home office / library: 5×7 or 6×9 anchors a desk + chair zone without crowding the doorway swing.

For the working logic on each room — sofa depth, table clearance, bed proportions — see our rug sizing guide and the size-specific deep dives: 8×10 vs 9×12 by sofa depth and the dining-room 24-inch rule.

How this catalog is built (honest framing)

The online area-rug catalog is the curated machine-woven slice of what we sell — 1200-reed and 1.5M-point Persian-design rugs in microfiber and cotton-warp construction, washable, colorfast, and durable enough for daily traffic. The Sacramento showroom additionally carries hand-knotted Persian, Turkish, and Afghan area rugs that rotate through the floor; those are best seen in person or through our custom sourcing service. Either way, area rugs ship free across the US and Canada.

Construction tiers in this collection

• 1200-reed Turkish power-loom — 3 million-plus knot-equivalents per m², the canonical Persian-design tier. Pile is 66% polypropylene / 34% polyester on a cotton warp; washable; colorfast.
• 1.5M-point luxury weave — thicker hand, deeper saturation, the larger ceremonial palettes (Imperial royal blue, Majestic crimson, Royal gold).
• 2 Million Point top-tier — our finest machine-woven density; closest visual proxy to hand-knotted detail at a working-luxury price point.
• Hand-knotted (by appointment) — antique Tabriz, signed Isfahan, Kashan, Afghan, and silk Qom pieces rotate through the Sacramento showroom; we don’t hold a complete hand-knotted inventory online.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most common area-rug size?

For US living rooms, 8×10 ft is the most common size and the safest default. It accommodates a 7–8 ft sofa with the front legs of flanking chairs on the rug, leaves 12–18 in. of floor showing around the seating zone, and reads as intentional rather than oversized.

Should an area rug fit under all of the furniture?

Two acceptable styling rules: all-on (every leg of every piece on the rug — requires 9×12 or larger), or front-legs-on (front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, back legs off — works with 8×10 in most rooms). The mistake to avoid is all-off, where furniture floats around an undersized rug — the rug then reads as a bath mat in the middle of the room.

Do you have area rugs available for same-day pickup in Sacramento?

Yes — most of the in-stock area rug catalog is held at our Sacramento showroom (3423 Watt Avenue) and is available for same-week pickup. For specific sizes and dye lots, WhatsApp (916) 890-4077 to confirm before driving over.

What about wool, hand-knotted, or antique area rugs?

Hand-knotted Persian, Turkish, and Afghan wool area rugs are part of our broader showroom-and-sourcing inventory rather than the online catalog. For specific pieces — a Tabriz, a Heriz, an antique Kashan in a particular size — reach out via our custom commission service or visit the showroom for what’s currently on the floor.

Are these area rugs safe on hardwood floors?

Yes, with a felt-and-rubber rug pad sized 4 in. shorter than the rug on all sides. See our hardwood floor guide and rug pad selector for details by floor finish and traffic level.
