6x9 Area Rugs
The 6x9 rug is one of the more popular rug sizes. While it is considered to be in the large rug family, it is the smallest of the large rugs. And because of that, it is versatile! It’s large enough to have a presence in the room, but still small enough to fit in a variety of places.
Room by Room
One of the most common places for a 6x9 rug is the living room. Large rugs pull a living room space together. They can add flare to a space with a daring color, bold pattern or an exciting texture. They can simply define the space by adding an inviting softness to the room or by accentuatuating another furnishing.
- A 6x9 rug can be a little small for some seating areas, however, it can be a budget-friendly option that will still add style to a space.
- You can make a 6x9 rug look well styled by centering it within your seating area. We recommend placing the edge of your rug either under the front legs of the sofa or under the front legs of an armchair or two facing the sofa.
- The 6x9 rug appears more proportional if it is longer than the sofa.
Another great spot for a 6x9 rug is in the bedroom. A rug placed under the bed can add a calming effect with soft neutrals or make a statement with bold colors and patterns. It can add softness under foot or can simply accentuate the bed and other features in the room.
- If placing the rug under a twin bed, pull the rug all the way to the wall so the entire bed is centered on the rug. Place a nightstand on the rug next to the bed.
- Under a queen sized bed, place your rug away from the wall about a third of the way along the bed. Your rug should start just after your nightstands.
A 6x9 rug goes great in a dining room or office. It should be centered under the table or desk. Be mindful of the amount of rug space behind the chairs; we recommend at least 24” of rug space behind a chair to allow the chair to scoot back without catching on the rug. And be sure to get a flat or low pile rug so chairs can move easily.
An oval or round shaped 6’x9’ rug looks great in a large entryway. Be sure to center the rug under the chandelier.
