Answer
What size rug for a dining table?
Choose a rug at least 24 inches bigger than the table on every side (up to 36 in), so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out: a 6-seat table of 72 × 40 in takes an 8 × 10 ft rug.
Dining rug size chart
| Table | Table size | Rug |
|---|---|---|
| 4-seat | 48 × 36 in | 8 × 10 ft |
| 6-seat | 72 × 40 in | 8 × 10 ft |
| 8-seat | 96 × 42 in | 9 × 12 ft |
| 10-seat | 120 × 44 in | 10 × 14 ft |
Round tables
Use the same 24-inch rule with a round or square rug: a 48 in round table needs a rug of about 8 ft across.
More questions
Should a dining rug be the same shape as the table?
It looks neatest that way, but a rectangular rug under a round table works if it clears the chairs.
What rug material is best under a table?
Flat-woven or low-pile rugs: chairs slide easily and crumbs come out.
