Cute space! Love the windows.

The existing round rug needs to be twice that size. Or how about an oval one, also twice as big as what is there now?

And the sideboard/credenza should probably find a different place to live in your home.

Round table, standard height NOT bar height

If you must do a rug then consider a jute, sisal or minimal rug in a rectangle

Hoe big of a change are you thinking? IMO a modern twist can be a new table and the little buffet gone. keep the chairs but do a glass top table round no rug .A great piece of modern art and a shelf below it.

I think a rectangular rug will enlarge the look of the space. I like the geo ethic look of the one posted by Beverly.

I am not a fan of a textured rug in an eating space. Harder to keep clean.

Honestly I think that area is too small for a rug…you need to add enough on each side to be able to pull chairs in and out do if the table is 48” than you need to add another 24” all the way around so for a table 48” you need a 8” rug..what is the size of the room?

I would add a rectangle table with rectangle rug if a rug fits?

Can you fit a larger round rug in the space? I like the round. It is visually interesting, and softens the area.

You have a lovely space!

Rug should be the last decision (size/shape/style) based on you considering updating completely.

Look for inspiration to help and consider budget to know if it’s possible. Even if updating down the road I’d skip a rug for now, as it won’t have a big influence on the space. If you could show your kitchen, you’ll get helpful advice for modern/minimalist if you are considering.

Could you share some other photos of your kitchen and the space? That would really help in terms of advise to give.

We thought sharing some dining sets that we used in clients homes might just help you move forward from your dilemma. Take a moment to notice each table, chairs, lighting, and the fact non have a rug under them.
