Dining Room Rugs

Built to handle a full table, spills and all.

A dining room rug has a harder job than almost any other room's rug - durability and easy cleaning matter just as much as style. Like our other collections, this spans every design tradition we carry: a finely knotted Persian piece, a bold tribal design, a flat-woven kilim, a clean modern rug.

Getting the Size Right

The rug needs to be large enough that dining chairs stay on it even when pulled out to sit down - but not so large it overwhelms the room. Sizing generally scales with your table's seat count: a 4-seat table needs less footprint than an 8-seat table.

Our Size Guide breaks down exact dining room sizing by table and seat count.

Matching Shape to Your Table

The shape of your dining rug should generally follow the shape of your table. A round or square table pairs naturally with a round or square rug. A rectangular table calls for a rectangular or square rug - something that echoes the table's own lines rather than working against them.

Choosing a Practical Color

Dining rooms see more spills and crumbs than almost any other room in the house, so very light colors tend to show wear the fastest.

If practicality matters as much as style, black and brown or tan tones hide daily wear especially well.

Consider a Flat-Weave

A flat-woven kilim is generally easier to clean than a plush pile rug, and some kilim styles are even fully reversible - flip it over for a completely fresh side. See our full Kilims collection for options.
