I have a espresso colored round table (i think its about 4' or 5' diameter) and it also incleds a leaf to extend the table into an oval shape. I am trying to decide what kind of rug i should get for underneath the table (there is ceramic tile in this area). Its going into the formal living and dining room in the house which is the first you room you enter when you come into the house. The entire room is about 13' wide by 22' long. There will also be a buffet by the table taking off about 2' or so from the width. This is what i was thinking1. getting a big square rug (about 8x8)2. getting a rectangle rug (either 5'x8' or 8'x11')Let me know if you have any other ideas. Thanks for your input!
The rug has to be large enough when someone is seated in a chair at the table, the chair is still on the rug. You usually figure 1 ft. extra all the way around. Home Decorators online has a huge choice of rugs and sizes and styles.
1] is buffet on long wall or short wall? How big is actual dining area? 13' x 11'? or smaller? [ also subtract the two feet from buffet space ] 2] rug should be about 2.5 feet wider and longer than the table to allow chairs to move back and forth freely; so you need a rug at least 6.5' or 7.5' by 8' or 9'. depending on table and leaf's actual size. 4] do measure the table and leaf for accuracy before making any purchase. 5] buy some graph paper; cut out table, chair, buffet and rug sizes; and play with pieces for best look. . 6] I would buy one that covers most of area. - so 8' x 11'.
