How to Do I Choose A Rug for My Dining Table?


Which rug is the best for my dining table?! To answer this question, you must keep a few things in mind. The shape of your table dictates the shape of your rug. Therefore, square or circle rugs are best for a circle or square tables, but they can be more difficult to find in large sizes. Speaking of size - your rug should be large enough so that when your guests have scooted their chairs all the way out they are still on the rug with a couple of inches to spare. You don't want your guests taking a spill backwards! Oh and one last things, for all that is good design in the world, please think twice before putting a circle rug under an oval or rectangular table.

These are all, of course, design tendencies. Tendencies can be strategically broken, but for most people these general guidelines are relevant and helpful. Happy designing!
