STYLING THE DINING ROOM
HOW TO L AYER A RUG UNDER A DINING TABLE D INING TABL E WI TH CHA I RS : When choosing a rug for a dining table, measure the length and width of the dining table and add two feet in each direction to determine the best rug size. L X W + 2 ’ ON EACH S I DE • 6x9 Depending on table size, this will allow the table and the front feet of the chairs to comfortably rest on the rug when pulled out. • 8X10 Best for customers who want the entire chair to remain on the rug when pulled out. T I PS Remember to ALWAYS suggest a rug pad, as it increases the life of the rug and protects the floor underneath.
