It doesn't matter if the space in your room is big or small, you need to know its design to add the right furniture and decorative items that will most value the area.
The rug can come to the edge of the seats you have in the room, whether they are sofas or chairs. The important thing is to have enough space to circulate the coffee table without the edge of the carpet is in the middle of the way to get in the way. It is an excellent option for new and modern rooms, especially if the carpet has a beautiful color or pattern.
The size of the rugs is a somewhat controversial subject in the world of interior architecture. Some think that the carpet has to occupy the entire area of the room, staying a few centimeters under the sofas or armchairs, others believe that there is no problem using a smaller carpet in some contexts.
