A dining room rug has to do more work than almost any other rug in the house — it anchors the table, defines the seating zone, absorbs sound, and gets walked on constantly by people in and out of chairs. At Lulu and Georgia, the dining room rug collection brings together flat-weave and low-pile styles in natural fiber, wool, and performance materials in a range of sizes and patterns designed to work under a dining table and hold up to real use without looking like they're trying too hard.
What dining room rugs does Lulu and Georgia carry?
The collection includes natural fiber rugs in jute and seagrass, flat-weave wool and cotton styles, low-pile performance rugs, and area rugs in geometric and pattern-neutral designs suited for under a dining table. Standard dining rug sizes run 5×8, 6×9, 8×10, and 9×12; most dining rooms require an 8×10 minimum to fit a six-seat table with chairs pulled out. Runner sizes are available for galley-style dining spaces.
What size rug do I need under a dining table?
The rule: all chair legs should remain on the rug even when pulled out. For a 36×60-inch rectangular table with six chairs, a minimum 8×10 rug is needed. Add at least 24 inches to each dimension of the table to find the minimum rug size — this ensures chairs can be pushed out without catching on the rug edge. When in doubt, go larger: a too-small rug under a dining table is one of the most common and most visually disruptive proportioning mistakes in a room.
What rug material is most practical for a dining room?
Flat-weave wool, seagrass, and performance-fiber rugs are the most practical for dining rooms. Flat-weave constructions have no pile to trap crumbs and are easier to vacuum clean. Seagrass and natural fiber rugs are durable but less forgiving of spills — they stain more readily than wool or synthetic options. For families with children or frequent entertaining, a performance rug with stain-resistant fibers offers the best combination of durability and cleanability.
