While you should pick a rug that matches the decor in your living room, you should also choose a rug size that fits well. If you choose a rug that is too big, it can make the room appear smaller. This would be bad if the room is already pretty small. If the rug is too small, it may look like there is wasted space in the room or the furniture might get too close together. Use painters tape to check the size of a rug before you purchase.

3. Resist buying furniture sets
