In a dining room, a rug is a great way to add character and warmth to your space.

When choosing a dining room rug, consider the size of your table and chairs, the shape of the room, and the style you prefer.

A rug that extends at least 24 inches beyond the table on all sides is usually a good choice. Neutral colours or patterns can complement various decor styles, while a bold color or pattern can make a statement.

Be sure to choose a rug material that is easy to clean, such as wool or synthetic fibers.

Using a flat weave is key, so guests moving their dining chair can easily shuffle in and out easily, not pulling at the rug fibres.

Try a subtle colour that pulls tones from the space around it, just like the Diva Rug in Honey by The Rug Collection. Its soft pastel yellow tones tie together with the artwork, while breaking up the timber of the chair leg with the floorboards.
