What room does a 5'x8' rug suit?

Standard for a small living room or a queen bedroom. Front legs of the sofa on the rug, or the bottom two thirds of the bed covered. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one: the common regret is a rug that leaves furniture stranded on bare floor, not one that fills the room.

How much floor should stay visible around the rug?

Leave roughly 18 inches of bare floor between the edge of the rug and the wall in an average room, and at least 8 inches in a small one. The border is what makes the rug read as deliberate rather than as wall-to-wall carpet that came up short.

Do these rugs ship free?

Yes. Every order ships free within the contiguous United States with no minimum, and tracking is emailed at dispatch. Rugs of 9' x 12' and larger go by freight carrier, which involves a call to book the delivery.
