How to Place a Rug Under a Dining Room Table

Placing a rug under your dining table isn't rocket science, but it does require some thought.

First, measure your table and add about 24 inches on each side.

This ensures chairs can be pulled out without catching on the rug's edge.

For a standard rectangular table, a rectangular rug is your best bet.

Round table? Go for a circular rug to echo its shape.

Remember, symmetry is key – center your table on the rug for a balanced look.

But what if you have an unusual table shape?
