A 9×12 rug is the standard for large-scale rooms — the living room with a sectional or two full sofas, the open-plan space that needs a rug large enough to anchor the seating zone without looking like it is floating, the dining room with a table for eight or ten. At Lulu and Georgia, the 9×12 rug collection brings together wool, jute, flatweave, hand-knotted, and performance rugs in this larger size for rooms where an 8×10 would feel undersized or where all legs of the furniture need to be on the rug rather than just the front ones.
What rooms does a 9x12 rug work in?
A 9×12 rug is appropriate in a living room 14×18 feet or larger with a sectional or two sofa arrangement, a dining room with a table seating eight to ten (84-96 inch table with chairs), a primary bedroom with a king bed where all legs of the bed and bedside tables rest on the rug, and open-plan living areas where the rug needs to define a seating zone within a larger undivided space. In rooms smaller than 14×18 feet, a 9×12 may feel wall-to-wall; this is sometimes appropriate in a formal dining room or primary bedroom.
How do I place a 9x12 rug in an open-plan living space?
In an open-plan space, the 9×12 rug should define the seating zone clearly — position it so all furniture in the seating arrangement sits within or on the rug's perimeter, with at least 18 inches of rug extending beyond the sofa on the sides and back facing into the room. Orient the rug parallel to the main sofa axis rather than at an angle. Leave the dining area and kitchen floor bare or use a separate smaller rug there — two rugs that clearly define two zones read better than one rug that awkwardly spans both.
What constructions are available in 9x12 rugs at Lulu and Georgia?
The 9×12 collection spans hand-knotted and hand-tufted wool rugs, natural jute and sisal flatweaves, performance polypropylene rugs in washable constructions, indoor/outdoor rugs in solution-dyed acrylic, and select overdyed and vintage-style rugs in this larger format. At 9×12, hand-knotted rugs represent a significant investment; machine-made performance rugs in this size offer a practical alternative that holds up in high-traffic living rooms without the care requirements of natural fiber or hand-knotted construction.
