Welcome to our elegant collection of dining room rugs! Add warmth, style, and functionality to your dining space with our carefully curated range of high-quality rugs, designed to complement every dining table and decor style. From timeless classic designs to modern minimalist patterns, The Rugs offers the perfect foundation for your dining area.

What Kind of Rug Goes Under a Dining Room Table?

When selecting a rug for your dining room, consider the following factors:

  1. Size: The rug should be large enough to allow chairs to remain on the rug even when they are pulled out. Typically, adding at least 60 cm (24 inches) of extra rug space around the table achieves this.
  2. Shape: Match the shape of the rug to the table. For example, a rectangular table pairs well with a rectangular rug, while a round table works best with a circular rug.
  3. Material: Opt for a rug that is durable, easy to clean, and resistant to spills. For dining areas, consider the following materials:
    • Synthetic Blends: Rugs made from a combination of synthetic fibres like polypropylene, nylon, or polyester. These blends are designed to be highly durable, stain-resistant, and budget-friendly, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like dining rooms. They are also easy to clean and maintain, offering practicality without sacrificing style.
    • Low-Pile Fibres: Rugs with a short, dense weave are easier to clean and prevent chairs from catching on the surface when moved.
    • Wool: A natural, soft, and durable option that offers excellent stain resistance and longevity.

Should Dining Chairs Sit on the Rug?

Yes, dining chairs should ideally sit entirely on the rug. A well-sized rug should extend far enough beyond the edges of the dining table to accommodate all chairs, even when pulled out. This not only ensures a cohesive and polished look but also protects your floors from scratches and wear.

Do’s and Don’ts of Dining Room Rugs

Do’s:

  • Do choose the right size: Ensure the rug is proportionate to the table and chairs to create a balanced look.
  • Do consider the material: Prioritise stain-resistant and easy-to-clean materials to handle potential spills and messes.
  • Do match the rug’s design to your decor: A well-coordinated rug can tie together the aesthetic of your dining room beautifully.

Don’ts:

  • Don’t use a rug that’s too small: A rug that doesn’t accommodate the chairs when pulled out can make the space look awkward and disjointed.
  • Don’t overlook maintenance: Regular cleaning is essential to keep your dining rug looking fresh and inviting. Follow care instructions for longevity.
  • Don’t clash patterns: Ensure the rug complements the dining room’s existing decor and doesn’t overwhelm the space with conflicting designs.
