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.

Should I put carpet in my dining room?

Having a carpet in your dining room mostly comes down to personal taste but there are pros and cons.

Pros

A wide range of carpets to choose from
The best insulator for a room
Soft underfoot
No risk of slipping
Long-lasting

Cons

Can be harder to remove stains
Will require upkeep to stay clean
More costly when replacing carpet for the entire room

Rugs for the dining room

If you don’t fancy carpet in your dining room, your next best option is to use rugs on a hardwood floor. Rugs can provide an added layer of insulation, comfort and style. They are also easier to maintain and clean and cheaper to replace.
