I’ve been working on a custom home office project (lots of plywood built-ins and and I’m stuck on the rug.
I’m debating between a 6×6 and a 7×7 square rug. I've tried 5×7 and 6×8 and neither work.
- The 6×6: Feels a bit more "minimalist" and shows off more of the hardwood, but I’m worried it looks like a postage stamp floating in the middle of the room. I also have the issue of tucking it under my desk enough that it will look imbalanced behind the chair.
- The 7×7: Definitely fills the space better and bridges the gap to the built-ins, but is it too much rug for this footprint?
Context: The desk is about 72" wide. I’m leaning towards the 7×7 , but I’ve been staring at this for too long and need fresh eyes.
What do you guys think? Does the larger rug ground the room better, or should I stick to the smaller one?
Attached are 2 images of the 6×6 and several of the 7×7 and where it fits in the wider space. Ignore the mess and empty shelves.

I like the 7×7 – I think the 6×6 looks a bit too small.
