Dining Area Rugs: Using Repetition to Discover the Perfect Rug Shape

If you are not sure which shape of an area rug will make sense with your dining room table, start by noticing the shape of your dining table. When you choose an area rug that is the same shape or a complementary shape that matches your dining table's shape, you are using the interior design principle of repetition, and repetition helps to create a cohesive look. You'll discover which shapes of area rugs go with different table shapes, whether that's a round rug for a dining room, a square area rug, or even a rectangular area rug, what the benefits are of choosing an area rug shape that is similar to your table, and a bonus interior design tip on how to choose the right rug size. If you were going to buy a new area rug for a round dining table, would you choose a round area rug or a square area rug? Share your choice in the comments.
