The best carpets or rugs for your dining room
What to look for in a dining room carpet
A dining room carpet is going to have to deal with a lot—heavy pieces of furniture, chairs pulled around, food and drink spillages. This means you will need a strong carpet to combat this kind of action.
The best kind of carpet for the dining room will be:
- stain-resistant
- easy to clean
- durable
Man-made fibres such as polypropylene, polyamide and polyester can offer this level of protection. You have a wide range of carpets to choose from.
