Choosing a Persian rug for a dining room

Sizing rule

Measure your table and add about 60–75 cm on every side.

Best types

• Hard-wearing village and tribal rugs
• Flat-woven kilims that are easy to clean
• Medium-pile city rugs with busy patterns that hide crumbs

Care

Use a rug pad and clean spills immediately by blotting.
