Do you have young children at home? Rugs from Ruggable are really great for home with children as they are washable.

No young kids yet ... but I do like the idea of the washable rug option.

We are mainly concerned right now about finding a design that doesn't clash with the upholstery on the chairs.

Congratulations on your new home!

What is the budget for a rug? What size?

I wouldn’t worry about your chair pattern, it’s very neutral and subtle, and can go with many other patterns.

Wool or polypropylene are great materials for dining rooms. Easy to spot clean.

We would like to find a 9x12 rug for under $300. We tend to go for a more traditional style, but we are looking for something a little more modern for the dining room with some color.

This is a beautiful rug that can be modern, traditional, both. I went over budget a bit, though. Still a great price.

It’s printed, so easy to clean.

Very pretty colors:

Loloi is a good brand, I have several. (Sorry, went a bit over budget again.)

It’s so hard to suggest rugs without knowing how other rooms will be decorated, what table will be used, window treatments, kitchen decor, etc ... but there are lots of us rug lovers on the board, so I’m sure you’ll get a wide variety of good suggestions. :)

ETA: Definitely look on Overstock, they have a lot of 9x12 rugs for under $300.

I like this, but wasn’t sure if it’s too pinkish toned. Anyway, lots of other selections on there.

Thanks!

I wouldn’t have a rug because I prefer to sweep and wipe, rather than vacuum or hang rugs BUT not my dining room. These are all under $300

Thought you might like this one. 9x12 and just over $300. It seems it would work well with pulling in flooring, kitchen cabinets, table and won’t compete with the chairs. There is a room visualizer if interested.

Would create a more subtle feel like below.

I really like a lot of the options above. Here are a few that I found on wellwoven.com that could work.

Here are a couple nice ones from Home Depot:
