What Size Rug Under a Dining Table?

A dining rug should normally extend beyond the table so chairs remain on the rug when they are pulled out. Measure the table first, then allow additional space around every side.

Why clearance matters

If the rug is too small, dining chairs can catch on the edge when people sit down. A larger rug creates a more comfortable and visually connected dining area.

Popular large sizes

For many Australian dining areas, 240 x 330 cm can be a useful starting point for a rectangular table. Larger tables or open dining rooms may need a larger rug such as 280 x 380 cm or 300 x 400 cm.
