Rug Size Calculator by SmallSpaceGlow

Description

Rug Size Calculator with Visualizer helps your visitors instantly find the right rug size for any room in their home. No guesswork, no measuring confusion — just clear, accurate recommendations based on proven interior design rules.

Built for interior design bloggers, home decor shops, and furniture retailers who want to add real value to their audience.

What it does:

• Recommends standard rug sizes based on room dimensions and furniture
• Shows a live top-down canvas visualizer of the room, rug, and furniture to scale
• Covers 4 room types: Living Room, Bedroom, Dining Room, Entry/Hallway
• Switches between Imperial (inches/feet) and Metric (cm/m)
• Snaps recommendations to real-world standard rug sizes
• Lets visitors copy the result, copy size only, or download a PNG
• Sends the recommendation to any email address via wp_mail()
• Includes a Gutenberg block with brand-color controls in the Inspector panel
• Shortcode: [ssg_rug_calculator]
• Outputs Schema.org structured data (WebApplication) for SEO

Room-specific logic:

• Living room — calculates based on sofa width, layout (front legs vs all legs), and wall clearance preference
• Bedroom — supports Twin through Cal King; handles partial-under, full-under, and side runner layouts
• Dining room — rectangle and round tables; always adds 24″ for chair pull-out clearance
• Entry/Hallway — recommends runner sizes with wall clearance options
