“ Consider the texture of a dining area
rug – a f latweave is less likely to tangle
around chair legs, plus it will be
easier to clean up crumbs”

Create a zone
A rug placed under a dining table,
coffee table or comfy armchair not
only looks fantastic, it helps define
different zones within an open-plan
area of the home. But when it comes
to family meal times, remember to
choose one that is easy to care for,
as it will no doubt face a beating from
dropped foods and spills. A washable
polypropylene rug can be hosed off
and dried outdoors, and suits
a variety of style preferences.
Alternatively, a tufted texture under
an occasional table or chair gently
turns a throughway into a place to
pause and relax. Add rug grippers
or tape to keep rugs from moving.
