If you’re looking for a piece with a subtle twist, opt for a rug with a border.
It will really make your rug stand out and look a bit grander.

Go for Some Stripes
Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns in your dining room.
Here, busy wallpaper and a striped area rug look excellent together, despite being an unexpected pairing.
Note that dining rooms no longer have to feature traditional china cabinets and tall wooden chairs.

Gray Space Interiors
The warmth of the pink dining room rug matches the warmth of the chairs.
Sage green floral curtains add even more texture.
Not only does this lighten up the space, but the rug also adds contrast.

The bright blue rug with touches of purple anchors the playful aesthetic of the whole space.

Here, a large square rug and a circular table work wonderfully.
The contrasting shapes and the contrasting dark wood against the light-toned rug add tons of visual interest.
The vintage-inspired rug in warm tones adds extra texture to the dining room.

Polka dots aren’t just for kids.
This allows chairs to slide from the table easily.
This amounts to around 24-30 inches from the edge of the table.
