Here are five rules to help you choose the perfect dining room rug.
Rug placement under dining room table.
In a living room for instance all of the furniture should be on top of the rug if this isn t possible it s okay to have the front legs of major upholstered pieces on the rug and the back legs off.
In the case above the rug placement goes nearly to the edge of the room.
When selecting an area rug make sure that it extends under all the key pieces of furniture in the room.
Dining room rugs should be large enough to cover the entire area under the table and beyond.
But choosing the perfect rug can be a little tricky.
There should be plenty of room for dinner guests to slide their chairs in and out without getting hooked or hung up on the edge of your rug.
Rugs are a soft piece of furnishing that carpet the area under and around the table grounding it and the dining room chairs too.
Do extend rugs under furniture.
Placing a rug in the dining room is essentially all about the experience of sitting at the dining table.
By placing your dining table on top of a well proportioned eye catching and color coordinated rug you are effectively marking out the boundary lines of where you eat.
To find the best size for your set measure your table and add 4 feet to both its length and width to accommodate pulled out chairs.
You ll want to center the rug under your dining table and then make sure it s big enough.
