You’ve found the perfect round dining table for your home. Now comes the next part—what kind of rug should you put under your round table? After all, having the perfect rug to pair your dream furniture will further elevate its look and make your dining room more elegant. More importantly, a rug helps frame the dining area away from the rest of the space, especially if you have an open floor plan.
Selecting the right kind of area rug involves a few considerations. Matching a round table with a circular rug creates a coherent aesthetic and makes this area feel cozy and intimate, while a square rug brings an interesting juxtaposition and modern appeal with its rectilinear form.
Another aspect to consider is the shape of your dining room. A square dining room would call for a round or square-shaped rug. Dining tables set in corridor-type spaces or narrow rooms are usually paired with rectangular rugs. Following the form of the room creates an orderly aesthetic that is easy on the eyes. The dimension of the rug is also an essential factor. It should be big enough to cover the floor under the table and the chairs, with extra space when you’re pulling out the chairs.
These 27 examples of rugs under round tables will give you a better picture of which type of rug will fit your space best according to your style.
