I’m looking for an area rug – where can I find one at a decent price and what size should I get?
My living room/dining room is 15×22 and we’ve just installed hard woods. I want an area rug so my dogs won’t be as likely to scratch the floors.
What size should I go with & where online can I find one at a decent price?

I’m not sure what you consider a decent price but I have a 9×12 persian in a 12×17 space that was around $1800. If you’re dogs are hard on rugs, you might want to look at Frontgate or Grandinroad catalogs or online. They offer indoor/outdoor polypropolene rugs that look like designer rugs, are soft, and to clean they just need to be hosed down. I picked up a 9 x 12 Acanthus style for $325 for a high traffic area space.
You should allow 3 ft beyond the table at each chair to allow for moving the chair away from the table. Then make your measurements including the additional 6 ft added to the length and to the width.
You can try the Home Depot or Lowes websites but I thinks it’s wise to inspect carpeting personally when purchasing.
