AN interior designer has shared his simple equation to ensure the dining room in your home always looks chic.<\/p>\n

And, surprisingly, it\u2019s all to do with the size of your rug, plus where you place it.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Jordan Samson said he\u2019s spotted the same interior mistakes again and again, particularly when it comes to home owners\u2019 dining rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a video posted to his TikTok account @jordansamsondesign, the home pro said many choose too small of a rug and that it immediately unsettles the aesthetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because it unbalances everything \u2013 and he said size really does matter in this instance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Opening up about the key errors, Jordan explained: \u201cFirst up is a rug that\u2019s too small for the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou want to avoid a situation where as soon as you scoot that chair back, you\u2019ll get caught on the rug.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he said his simple maths equation can help put this right.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jordan continued: \u201cTo avoid this, aim to have a rug that is at least 24 inches larger than your table on all sides.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then unveiled a further, more detailed, guide to his 93.2k social media followers.<\/p>\n

In it, Jordan shared how a 4-6 seater dining table requires a rug that is 8\u2019 x 10\u2019.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a larger 6-8 seater piece of furniture would work best with a 9\u2019 x 12\u2019 rug.<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t his only piece of advice for interior fans when it came to what rug they should be looking out for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also said that the style of rug you choose is very important \u2013 particularly when it comes to ensuring it stays clean for guests.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jordan advised: \u201cAvoid anything overly shaggy, high pile or braided \u2013 this will be a nightmare to clean.<\/p>\n

Aim to have a rug that is at least 24 inches larger than your table on all sides<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, I would opt for a flat weave or a low pile in a wool or other natural fiber that will be easy to spot clean.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that it was \u201ceven better\u201d to invest in a rug in a dark colour, if it suits<\/span> the theme of your room, as it better hides any unfortunate mishaps.<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t his only expert tip \u2013 he also said the light fixtures people choose can make or break a dining room.<\/p>\n

Jordan said: \u201cNext is the wrong size light fixture \u2013 you want something that\u2019s going to actually illuminate the entire table.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook for a fixture that spans about half the width of the table as a general rule. You could also do double pendants.<\/p>\n
