How To Select A Dining Room Rug
As unglamorous as it sounds, the rug you select for dining rooms will have one important function — to conceal spills and stains. Choose one that is patterned and easily cleaned.
In a dining room, a soft surface works best because you have a hard table, hard chairs, china, conversation and usually a lot of noise. A soft surface will absorb sound.
Patterned Rugs Conceal Spills
It is a good idea to use a pattern on the floor — an Oriental area rug, for example — because it will conceal spills. Even tweeds and heathery mixtures camouflage soil. A stain-resistant fiber is an excellent choice. Not only do patterned rugs conceal spills, they add excitement to the room; most command attention.
Family Eating Area
Obviously, a family eating area is for eating, but it is also a place where the family gathers. It can be a very noisy place. The secret to noise control is to use a soft texture because it will absorb sound. Again, muted tones can withstand wear and tear, but a pattern will conceal spills. If you choose to add an area rug, you can easily get it cleaned.
