The right rug can bring a dining room from boring to beautiful. As one of the largest decor items in the room, a rug can have a dramatic effect to the look and feel of the room. For this to be the case, it’s vital to ensure the rug is the right size for the space. Utilize these three tips to help choose the right size dining room rug.

Rug should extend at least 2’ on each side of your table, so there’s room to pull out chairs.

Most tables need a rug that’s at least 8’ wide. There are exceptions to this in breakfast nook areas, but in any main dining space we suggest to use a rug that is 8’ rug.

Choose a rug that will still fit beneath the table when it’s extended.
