Layout — Does this size area rug work in this dining room??

last year

Does this size area rug work in this room? In the mock-up shown, each cell of the grid paper equals one foot, and the rug, furniture, doors, etc., are shown to scale. The dining table is 41” wide x 96” long, so a 9’x12’ is the only standard size area rug that will provide the recommended 2’ of area rug around the table perimeter to allow chairs to be pulled out, pushed in, etc., and remain on the area rug. There will not be much wood floor showing around the perimeter of the area rug — about 1’6” on the table ends. Thoughts?

9’x12’ is the right size for your table.

Perhaps I am misreading your post, but something seems off with the floor plan. You say the scale is 1’ per square. Is it perhaps a scale of 1/2’ per square?

Counting squares and using 1’ scale, the room measures 27’ x 28’ and the rug 24’ long (not 12’).

Thank you! And you are right Design Fan — the scale is one cell equals six inches. Sorry about that!

Have you considered moving the sideboard down a bit towards the kitchen passage so it is centered on the table? Or to the opposite wall if better for traffic flow.
