What is the best rug for a dining room?

• Flat-weaved rugs
• Area rugs
• Outdoor rugs
• Traditional rugs

Flat-weaved rugs are the most ideal rugs to be placed within a dining room. This is due to the fact that flat-weaved rugs have a low pile and are more likely to be made from durable synthetic materials such as polypropylene or natural fibres such as jute. Not only will flat-weaved rugs make it easier when pulling out chairs, the style of the rug and the materials that the rug is made from tend to be a lot harder wearing and are easy to clean and maintain – making it a perfect rug to be placed in a highly trafficked area such as a dining room. Another great rug for a dining room would be an area rug. Area rugs are amazing when it comes down to filling your floor space and creating a more insulated area. Having an area rug placed underneath the dining room table will comfort your guests and provide them with not only warmth but also a cushioned and relaxing underfoot. More short piled rugs such as outdoor rugs can also be placed within highly trafficked areas such as the dining room – this is due to the fact that with low piles they can withstand their shape over a certain period of time. Due to their short piles, outdoor rugs are easy to clean and maintain, but just make sure that you rather choose a dark coloured rug or a rug that has a highly patterned design so that you can hide any stains which are not so easy to remove. Traditional rugs are not the easiest to clean, but they are the most appealing rugs when places underneath a dining room table or within a dining room. Traditional rugs are great as dining table rugs as they tend to set an old-fashioned yet modern aura to your room and they will also create a brightening environment for when rugs under the dining table will be laid and your guests come around.
