Shop Dining Room Rugs

Protect your floors from the heavy pressure of a dining table plus sliding chairs with a new dining room rug. Dining room rugs can dampen sound and warm up the room. Shop these rugs to add a striking effect to the look and feel of the room. Read this guide to learn more about the benefits of using rugs in your dining room.

Tips to Find the Right Rug

Area rugs will never go out of style; they do more than just dress up a dining room. When shopping for a new dining room area rug, be sure to follow these basic rules:

  • Size your rug to the size of your dining table. Dining room rugs should be large enough to accommodate the entire table and all of the chairs when pulled out. If your table has extendable leaves, factor that into your rug size as well.
  • The rug's shape should match your table's shape. So, choose a round rug for a round table and a rectangular rug for a rectangular table. This creates a sense of cohesion and unity throughout the room. If you want to pair a round rug with a square table or vice versa, it's best to do it with smaller tables.
  • To accommodate people coming and going, food moving around, and sliding chairs, the best dining room area rugs have a low pile. Low-pile rugs make it easy to slide chairs in and out. They're also easier to clean.
  • Secure your rug in place with a rug pad. Rug pads keep your rug from sliding and wrinkling. They also add extra cushion and allow air to pass through, keeping it smelling fresh.

Browse the Many Styles of Rugs

West Elm offers a wide range of rugs in various hues, materials and sizes. If you're not sure where to start, consider the various available styles:

  • Traditional rugs often feature stylized floral or medallion patterns. The elaborate border can help define the dining area.
  • Arabesque rugs boast large floral elements such as spiraling floral vines and palmettes. Distressed rugs that look worn, aged and faded often feature arabesque designs.
  • Dhurries are thick, flat-woven rugs typically made from cotton, wool or jute. They feature unique geometric designs and come in a wide array of colors.
  • Jute rugs add natural beauty to your home. Not only are the natural jute fibers soft, but they are also water-resistant, which prevents dirt and dust build-up in your home. Jute rugs are soft and resemble the feel of wool rugs underneath. West Elm has both soft and durable jute and wool rugs, making them perfect for high-traffic areas.

Add rugs throughout your home to protect your floors and add an extra layer of warmth. Collect dirt and debris with entryway rugs or place one in the kitchen to cushion your feet while cooking. Use hallway runners to brighten up dark corridors. West Elm has rugs and doormats for every room in your house.
