From what I see you do not have space for a proper sized rug. The rug needs to be at the very least 30” larger than the table all the way around and 36” is better.It should not sit partway across a doorway in fact that buffet looks too close to the table from this perspective too.

I think a rug would look great. Just put the buffet on the wall behind the table. Or remove it

The buffet is 2.5 feet away from the table, I wanted to have it in the arch but the arch isn't centered and I moved the table to be centered under the light so I stuck it over there instead. Still trying to work out the placement of everything.

Totaly get you. Hmmm I guess just try a rug without moving anything. Post a pic and we’ll see. I think it could work

I like the buffet in the recessed area a lot. I honestly don‘t think it has to be perfectly centered with the table at all.

You have plenty of room for a rug. I‘d tape sizes down to see what fits best.

Here are some images for choosing rug size perfectly.

I think you have enough space for the middle "okay" sized rug.

Rule #1 with dining room rugs....make sure that the rug is big enough so that any chairs around the table will still be on the rug when they have been pulled out to be sat in. it's awkward to pull the chair in if the chair gets caught on the edge of the rug when doing so. have your family pull chairs out to sit on them, then take your measurements. You can create a custom-sized rug using flor carpet tiles if the size is off.

What about using an oval shape rug? I feel this particular shape won't look bad if the entire space isn't covered, and it should cover the tablespace just fine :)

I put it back

Lol looks awesome. Agreed with jinx about taping the size of a rug ...

What color paint do you have in your walls.

I love it! Does it read grayish green or gray. I am looking for a greenish gray color.

It can be green, blue or gray depending on the light we have it in all rooms except bath and it looks different everywhere. Low light towards the evening more green, morning more blue mid day gray. I live it because its like an illusion of
