Dining room rug layout.
The hunt for the perfect dining room area rug can take some consideration planning and time.
A good dining room rug will help define the space its in like a picture frame and provide color and texture to the room.
We have a large area rug in the living room and no rug under the dining room table in the dining room.
Pull cues from any built ins in the room and let those dimensions determine the size and location of your rug.
For example a long narrow table looks best on a narrow rectangle and a round or oval rug emphasizes the shape of a round or oval table.
Ideally the rug should be both functional and fashionable.
The overall aesthetic here is very vintage very victorian almost and a bit of a throwback compared to some of the other modern choices on the market.
I really like it that way and feel like it simplifies the space and makes it look a little bigger.
Choose a rug shape to complement your dining room furniture.
The right rug will anchor your space provide a well balanced feel to the room and still be practical enough to handle the occasional spill.
Finding the right rug can make all the difference when trying to tie together your dining room.
We have hardwood floors and the living room is open to the dining room.
Most dining room rugs are rectangles but any shape can work.
It is most pleasing to the eye for the rug to reflect the shape of the table.
A dining room rug should follow the same basic sizing rules as a living room rug with special consideration given to the table and chairs.
