The rug in a dining room should ideally fit the dining table and all dining chairs. The rug should be big enough to fit in the chairs even when they are pulled back. That would generally be at least 18″-24″ (eighteen to twenty four inches) from the back of the chair to edge of the rug. Here is a general rug size guide depending on the seating:
- 4-6 people – 6’X9′ / 8’X10′
- 6-8 people – 8’X10′ / 9’X12′
- 8-10 people – 10’X14′ / 12’X15′
For a dining room, rugs with low pile height or flat weave is recommended. Because, the higher pile rugs may feel plush and luxurious, but it would be harder to pull the dining chairs in and out with the rug material getting in the way. Also, rug with materials which are easy-to maintain should be used in dining room because you don’t want to spend all your time cleaning up any food stains!
