Dining Room
Dining room/area must have that welcoming feel for guests and family dinners.
Hence, the rug that you should use highly depends on the size and shape of your dining table.
For example, if you have a round dining room table, you'll want a round rug, and a square rug is often best for a square table.
Whatever is the shape and size of table be, the chair legs should not fall off the rug when guests scoot their chairs back to stand up or sit down.
Thus, the ideal area rug for your dining room should be at least 24 inches larger on all sides.
This allows the chairs to move back and leaves space for seated guests.
Kitchen
When it comes to kitchen, the normal indoor rug won't just fit in.
You should look for something that's more of an outdoor rug and can be machine washable.
