Need help choosing a dining room rug

7 months ago

Need something durable/washable as we have two young children and I’m worried they will ruin it with spills. I’ve held off on buying one for this reason. Not looking to spend an arm and a leg either. Also, chandelier suggestions?

I know you want a rug (and you can find washable, affordable ones from Nuloom), but, IMO, the space is too small to add a correctly size rug. You need a rug about 3' wider, all around, to allow chairs to sit on the rug and also to stay on the rug when pulled back. Even if you removed the hutch, the rug would be coming into the next room (hall?).

Can the hutch go to another wall which is close by? If so, I would move it, take down the two art prints, wallpaper above the chair rail and purchase another chandelier 1/2 the size of the table, hung about 33" off table top.

If you add wallpaper, it will give pattern to the space that can't have a rug.

Esalerugs is having a big sale that ends today. 50-60% off a large variety of rugs, with an additional 10% off if you buy two rugs. I just ordered two there today myself. You might look and see if anything appeals to you, as there are some good deals to be had. Many of us who have participated here for a long time have been pleased with our purchases from that site. (Not spam; no affiliation whatsoever.) No idea what your budget is, but this 9'5" x 12'7" Persian Tabriz baby is fab. Traditional in design, but the colors give it a unique twist. https://esalerugs.com/green-9x12-tabriz-persian-rug-110902024

Need Help with Choosing Dining Room Paint Color

It looks like your chairs are very neutral. What are the colors in the rest of the rooms? What about window treatments? I would suggest finding a rug or drapes that I love and then choosing a paint color in one of the lightest shades contained therein, since the room is small.

Sorry, not sure why the picture didn't post. Here it is again. RL, I like the round pendant and the pleated one in your first set of suggestions. Is that a Nelson bubble pendant? Also, I should have given a few dimensional details. The table is 36" wide at the ends, 40" wide in the center. Ceiling height is 92".

I am going to paint the walls in both rooms Wind’s Breath colour. You’re correct, I bought the painting and rugs at Homesense to match, thinking they were more contemporary. I am an amateur trying to learn. This is why I appreciate everyone’s suggestions so much! I tried to find slip covers for my sofa and loveseat but failed. They were all stretchy spandex-polyester and looked cheap. Any suggestions on where I can buy slipcovers that look like upholstered furniture in Canada? I was originally looking for off-white slip covers, although I wonder if this will look washed out with Wind’s Breath colour on the walls. Any suggestions on coffee tables?
