Using 3x6 Rugs

Installing 3x6 rugs in your home is an excellent way to protect and define the smaller spaces. From a compact laundry room to a fun play area in the living room, you'll find several uses for these petite beauties.

Before you commit to any of these 3x6 area rugs, please measure your space to ensure it's a good fit. You'll want to keep between 12 and 24 inches of floor space around your rug, so plan accordingly. If the size isn't the best fit, consider a 3x7 rug, a 3x5 rug, or a 4x6 rug.

Below, we'll outline a few ways to use these rugs in your home for those who'd like inspiration:

Patio and Entryway

A 3x6 outdoor rug will work well for front and back doors, mudrooms, patio seating areas, and more. You might place one in front of the grill to catch grease stains or between two outdoor chairs to make the spot more inviting. If you're using the rug in an indoor entryway, a 3x6 washable rug might be a good fit.

Bedroom or Kitchen

If you have a small space between two twin beds in a bedroom, a 3x6 runner rug might be a good option. The same is true for exposed floor space between the island and counter in the kitchen.

Bathroom

You can use a 3x6 bathroom rug to make your place more elegant and inviting. Pick a material that's suited for the moisture levels in the bathroom to avoid mold and mildew. Look for something with a non-slip bottom if it'll be in front of the shower. This is another excellent spot for a 3x6 washable rug.

What's Next?

With a range of stunning 3x6 area rugs to choose from, finding your favorite can take time. We encourage you to give your purchase thought. And to help avoid standard buyer's mistakes, check out our tips below:

• Consider Durability: Pick a rug that's made from a material durable enough for the room or floor space you're decorating. If necessary, research the best materials for the level of moisture, soil, UV, and shoe traffic exposure in your household. This will help you pick a rug that you can keep clean.
• Get a Rug Pad: We recommend that you add a rug pad to your cart before checking out. Any of these 3x6 rugs will last longer with a pad. Pads prevent sliding and surface damage to both the pile and backing.

Shop for sizes similar to 3x6 area rugs such as 3x7, 3x8, 3x9 Runners, 36x60, and 4x5.
