"When planning a dinner party with friends, most people focus solely on preparing the food. Though the company you share is the most important aspect, for a truly special gathering, besides the food, you also must consider the ambiance of the dining room. Decor elements like rugs can be great to add character to your current dining space. But to choose the best rug size, it helps to consider a few key factors, including the size and shape of your space,"
"For instance, a large rug can make a small space look even more cramped. So, if you're working with limited room and table space, choose a smaller rug. Generally, you want the rug to fit well under both the table and chairs, but with ample space from the walls (around a foot). This accentuates the flooring and adds visual interest to the space."
Rug selection for a dining room depends on room size, table size, and shape, plus intended use. Large rugs can make small rooms feel cramped, so smaller rugs suit limited spaces. Rugs should generally fit under the table and chairs while leaving about a foot of space to the walls to accentuate flooring. Square tables pair well with square rugs; long tables may use runners; round tables can contrast with square rugs for visual interest. Color, pattern, and texture should match the desired mood: warm deep tones for intimate settings, retro or nature prints for artistic spaces, and large rugs for gatherings.
