One of the biggest decor mistakes you can make is getting a rug that is too small. If you’re torn between two different sizes, lean towards the more significant option. You could always tuck more of the rug underneath the furniture or place the furniture entirely on top of the carpet. Having an area rug in your living room, that is even a few inches too small will appear you misjudged your measurements. The right size rug will pull the room together instead of making it seem lacking.
