I found this great contemporary rug at the Merchandise Mart. It is 9'x12'. Do you know the most commom mistake people make when purchasing an area rug is buying one that is too small? In a seating area, furniture should always be placed at least 6" onto the rug. This unifies the seating grouping. Having the rug sit up to the front legs of furniture pieces creates a disjointed busy look and says you were too cheap to buy the right size rug. In a dining area the rug should always be a minimum of 27-28" beyond the table edge-30" if at all possible. People should be able to push back their chair without getting it caught on the edge of the rug.
