Looks like pulling chairs in and out will get them hung up on the edge of the round rug.

All rugs are hard to "de-crumb" (you want to vacuum after every meal?) and jute weaves are crumb traps.

Maybe a better way to coordinate the dining and living areas is seat cushions.

The round gray rug is too small for the table. To fit properly, add three ft. to the size you show.

Agreeing with @mytwocents that a rug isn't needed.

We enjoy having a rug here! Hoping for ideas on what kind :) Thank you for insight on a bigger size, I will definitely try that!

no rug under the table and certainly not a round one.

I like the first one best, of the ones you show…. I think it might coordinate well with your living room rug (hard to tell on monitors).

I like braided styles, too, just wondering if it might be too light. If the color is ok, it ties with first for me. :)

Thanks, Jilly! Most helpful comment I’ve gotten so far :)

Is the first rug photo the living room? It is so pretty! I'm drawn to the braided rug for some reason, maybe because my mom had one in her dining room and I must say it was more forgiving on hiding little crumbs, lol until you fire up the vacuum!

I love the first rug! It seems to have just the right amount of pattern and the colors appear to work. If you can make a rectangular rug work there, I think that's the one I'd choose. I also completely agree that it's nice to have a rug in a dining space. It somehow elevates the whole look, and crumbs are easily vacuumed.

I might be able to do an 8x8 square! The space is small so I’m not sure if I can get away with rectangular

Yes the first picture is our living room rug, it’s the Loloi brand! I am fond of the braided rugs myself. The living room rug has deep greens, rust, burgundy, black and hints of tan. It’s hard to tell in the photo! I was thinking a natural color braided rug too.

Oh, sorry! I thought the first rug was one you're considering. Since it's your living room rug, I like the first and last round rugs that you posted. The first one seems to tie in really well with your LR rug.

What about a rug with similar colors but a different pattern. I looked at Loloi and found this...

The Braided. I don't think the two rugs need to be similar..I rather like the contrast.

If I were to go with the braided/jute. Should I learn more toward the natural color, grey or ivory?
