Why A Dining Room Oval Rug?

People have been using oval rugs for dining rooms for hundreds of years. Are you ready to step up your decorating game?

Rugs are used to a space together and ground the furniture. Dining rooms and other areas can look odd, as though the furniture is floating, without a rug to bring the decor together. And if you have an oval table, you'll want to use a dining room oval rug underneath it. Not only does matching the shape help accommodate the seating, but it can make your room seem larger.

If you're not sure how you'd like to use oval rugs for dining room decor, check out some of our favorite decorating ideas for inspiration:

• Braided oval area rugs for dining rooms are popular in western homes. These durable beauties can withstand dirt because of the tight weave created by the braid, and they come in any color you can imagine.
• A large oval dining room rug is necessary if you have a bigger table. You don't want the back legs of the chairs hanging off the rug when they're occupied.
• When you use an oval rug for under a dining table and chair sets, think about how much traffic the area will see. If you entertain frequently, you might want a durable indoor/outdoor option that can withstand frequent cleaning. .

A Closer Look At Oval Rugs For Dining Room Decor

Circular and oval rugs are popular among interior decorators because they can make a space appear larger thanks to the rounded edges. The effect is amplified when the rug is used with an oval table and rounded lighting options.

Remember, you want the rug to be large enough to accommodate the chairs at the table while fully occupied. Braided rugs are thick and can cause chairs to tip over if the back two legs hang off.
