How Big Should A Rug Be?

This post first appeared a couple of years ago but it's still a question I am asked all the time so I thought I would go over the guidelines again and also show you some of the new rugs around this season for those who don't need the information but might just fancy a new look.

The first thing to note is that for every one person who says there is a rule, another will want to break it. For every one person who tells you to do it this way, another will disagree. So let me say, these are my rules, you may disagree (at your peril mwahahaha) but at least you can feel free to experiment.
