7x9 - 10x14

For covering up great expanses of bare flooring and carpet, nothing works as well as a sizeable area rug. Large area rugs, measuring 7x9 to 10x14, can be placed in a dining room to protect your floor from the scraping of dining chairs, especially if you have a big table.

For standard-sized dining tables that measure about 72 inches long, an 8x10 area rug is perfect. Some tables are smaller, and a 7x9 area rug will work just fine. For the ample dining room tables or banquet tables, pick up a 10x14 area rug; you want to be sure that your floor is protected, regardless of the size of the table.

Aside from being placed under dining room tables or kitchen tables, area rugs of this size can be used to create an intimate space in a living room, even if that intimate space seems a little generous. When your living room is big, your furniture can look meager and spaced out, giving the room a bare look. Lay down an area rug and bring your furniture to it; not only will your room keep its spacious appearance, but you will avoid having sparse furniture problems.

Even though these rugs are big, there is no reason that you can't have the style of area rug you want! Our home décor department has a variety of styles to choose from. From contemporary area rugs to country area rugs, you're sure to find one that will complement the style of your home.
