Follow these steps to measure your room for a rug -
- Begin by clearing your space. Move all furniture out of the way to leave you with a clear, open area to measure for a rug.
- Using your measuring tape, measure your entire space.
- Once you know how much space you have, head over to Kukoon Rugs, pick a rug online and decide which size best matches your measurements using the drop down box.
- Using your masking tape, tape your space to the exact size of your chosen rug size (this is where a friend might come in useful).
- Move your furniture back into place. Use the outline of the rug to determine where your furniture would sit.
- Allow yourself a couple of days to determine if the rug size would fit well in your space with your furniture.
- If you are deciding between 2 sizes, simply add additional masking tape to measure out the outline of the other size.
