How to Choose a Rug for a Dining Room
A dining room rug should be large enough to visually anchor the table and provide useful space for the chairs. Measure the table and chair movement before ordering.
Allow room for chairs
Choose enough rug around the table so dining chairs can remain supported when they are pulled away from the table.
Choose a practical surface
Consider pile height, cleaning requirements and how often the dining area is used. Always follow the care instructions for the individual rug.
Match the rug to the table
Rectangular tables commonly suit rectangular rugs, while the overall room proportions should also guide your choice.
