we have narrow living room in which we put a sectional. we are unable to place the area rug. any suggestions?
Put the couch over approximately 1/4 of the rug, then place your coffee table over the area rug. You'll still get the maximum look, even if you are in the minimum amount of space.
If you have a coffee table in front of one of the sectional pieces, try the area rug under the table. If the rug sticks out into the room too much, put part of it under the sofa. That's all I know to tell you without seeing the room or the furniture. You could try the rug at angles, but I'm not sure that would work without knowing how the room is set up.
Place the rug down first and then overlap the sectional onto it. If the rug is big enough, you can place the entire sectional onto it and still have enough of the rug exposed to look right. Just play with it until you get enough of the rug exposed to look right and don't worry about how much of it is under the sectional. It will look fine. Trust me, I've done it many times.
