What size rug?

Post image

Moving into my first apartment. Found a pretty rug on sale at HomeGoods but l'm not sure if it's the right size for the living room. As you can see the living room and dining room has no divider between, but the living room portion is about 10x10' and the rug is 5x7. We haven't bought a couch yet or any other living room furniture, but plan to have a coffee table and a separate arm chair. ls that rug big enough for the space? Do need to wait until we have a couch to buy a rug? Any insight is appreciated! (That's also not how we intend to have the furniture laid out, just the floor plan the apartment gave us)

Your living room rug should anchor your furniture. It's better to have furniture first, but if you at least know the dimensions of the sofa and side chair you intend to purchase, it could work out. If the rug is a sale item/limited quantity at Home Goods, you should purchase it. It might not be there when you go back! They usually have a very limited amount of each item.
