Dining Room Rugs

The dining room is a special place in a home where family and friends join together over good food and conversation, so making this space flow is important to many people. A dining room rug can bring your room together, provide comfort and define the boundaries of the area. When purchasing a dining room rug, there are many factors to consider, from the size to the pattern and material.

What Size Rug Do I Need?

The size is the first and most important consideration when selecting a dining room rug. One rule that makes this process simple is to choose a big enough rug for all chairs to be fully pulled out without falling off the edges of the rug. Whether you have a two-seater or a twelve-seater, follow this rule of thumb! To make this simple, measure the size of your table and choose a rug at least two feet bigger than the table on each side. If your table is 180x120cm, you would need a rug that is at least 330x240cm. Keep in mind that your table should always be centred on the rug, and the rug should be 12-24 inches away from any adjacent walls. If you have a vast dining room area or an open floor plan, opt for the trendy oversized rug by placing it in the centre of the room and anchoring all furniture on top of it. If you have an open floor plan, this option will help define the space. Just make sure in this case that 24-30 inches of bare floor sit between the rug and nearby walls.

Considering Color, Style, and Pattern

When choosing a dining room rug, one thing to consider is the colour and how the rug might be affected in the case of a spill. Although lighter colours are beautiful, dining rooms might not be the best place to use them. Darker colours or rugs that are patterned, tonal, or dithered will do best at finding any inevitable spills. Material is another important factor when it comes to ease of care. Wool is one of the easiest natural fibres you can clean at home. Wool rugs are a great choice for your dining area. They are made of high-quality natural fibres, and they are easy to maintain. Short piles are best for the dining room area because long, thick, and fluffy fibres are hard to clean and make it difficult for guests to move their chairs around. A short, durable pile such as wool or polypropylene are best for their durability, versatility, and ease of care. Here at ICONIC RUGS, we have a wide range of wool and polypropylene rugs perfectly suited to your dining room. Easy to care for, you can spot clean these rugs with ease.
