French Days Furniture

A table that extends and a rug that anchors the room: these two pieces define a dining room before anything else. This selection brings together an extendable dining table and two large rugs in the 300 x 200 cm format.

One table, two uses

An extendable table leads two lives. Closed, it serves everyday meals and leaves the way clear around the tabletop. Open, it welcomes guests for a dinner. Note both lengths before choosing: with the leaf pulled out, the table takes up the room needed to push chairs back on one side or the other.

Why a 300 by 200 rug

This size is no luxury under a dining table: the rug must stay under the chair legs even when they are pushed back, otherwise the back legs catch on the edge at every meal. In a living room, the same size fits under the coffee table and the front legs of the sofa, linking the seating together instead of floating in the middle.

Matching material and tone

Under a table, a short-pile rug is easy to sweep and vacuum, whereas a thick rug traps crumbs. As for color, a light rug makes the room look larger but shows everything, while a warm-toned rug is more forgiving. The safest option is to pick up a tone already present in the floor.

Frequently asked questions

What size rug under a dining table?

Add a generous pulled-back chair length on each side of the table. It is this calculation, not the size of the room, that calls for a large format such as 300 x 200 cm.

How do I care for a large rug?

Vacuum in the direction of the fibers rather than across them, and rotate the rug half a turn from time to time so that wear is spread evenly. Treat a stain right away with a white cloth, without rubbing.

Why does the same table appear several times?

Because each finish has its own page. The model is identical; only the look of the tabletop changes from one version to another.
