How to Use the Rug Size Calculator

Step 1: Gather Room Measurements

Begin by accurately measuring the dimensions of the room where you plan to place the rug. You will need to know both the length and width of the room in feet. These measurements are crucial for determining the appropriate rug size.

Step 2: Input Room Dimensions

With your room measurements in hand, enter the values into the calculator:

  • Room Length (feet): Input the length of your room. Ensure that the number falls within the range of 1 to 100 feet, as required by the calculator’s validation rules.
  • Room Width (feet): Input the width of your room, also ensuring it is between 1 and 100 feet.

Step 3: Choose Rug Placement Style

Select your preferred rug placement style from the available options:

  • All Furniture on Rug (75% of room): This option is ideal if you want all your furniture to be placed on the rug.
  • Front Legs Only (66% of room): Choose this style if you prefer only the front legs of your furniture on the rug.
  • No Furniture on Rug (50% of room): This choice is best suited for placing the rug in an area with no furniture.

Make sure to choose a style that suits your design preference and room layout.

Step 4: Calculate Recommended Rug Size

After you have entered the room dimensions and selected a placement style, the calculator will compute the recommended rug dimensions:

  • Recommended Rug Length: The calculation is based on the formula roomLength * rugStyle. The result will be rounded to one decimal place.
  • Recommended Rug Width: This value is calculated using roomWidth * rugStyle, also rounded to one decimal place.

Step 5: Determine Closest Standard Size

The calculator provides an estimate for the closest standard rug size using the formula recommendedLength * recommendedWidth. This will give you a rough idea of the rug size in square feet, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Step 6: Evaluate Floor Exposure

The final calculation assesses the percentage of floor space that will be exposed around the rug. Using the formula ((roomLength * roomWidth) - (recommendedLength * recommendedWidth)) / (roomLength * roomWidth) * 100, you can understand how much floor will remain visible. The result is displayed as a percentage with one decimal place.

Follow these steps to utilize the Rug Size Calculator effectively and help you find the ideal rug size that fits perfectly within your room’s dimensions and layout.
