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.

The blue and red hues are classic and sophisticated.

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.

The rattan chairs add extra texture without taking away fro the vibrancy of the dining room.

Complementary blue accents found throughout the space makes everything feel intentional and styled.

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.
