Rug Size Planner
Enter room length and width, then choose the rug border and optional furniture clearance in one consistent unit.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter room dimensions and a unit label for your own measurements.
- Enter the border or clearance on each side; table and chair offsets are optional user preferences.
- Review the available rug rectangle and whether a proposed rug fits.
Calculation
Available length = room length − 2 × length clearance; available width = room width − 2 × width clearance. Optional furniture offsets are added to the relevant clearances. All dimensions must use the same unit.
