- The rug should extend 20–30 cm beyond the sofa on both sides — anything narrower makes the room look smaller.
- The coffee table belongs entirely on the rug.
- Walking routes should run across the rug, not along its edge.
- Three common layouts: all legs on (large rooms, most generous look) · front legs on (the safe standard) · table only (compact rooms).
