Should a dining room rug be big enough to go beyond the chairs when extended, I am looking for a high quality green wool cut pile carpet that can also go on a matching staircase.

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. A dining room rug should extend beyond the chairs when they are pulled out. A common guideline is about 60–75 cm (24–30 inches) beyond the table on all sides to keep the chairs on the rug. For a green wool cut pile rug that also works on a staircase, look for a durable wool or wool‑blend cut pile and a colour palette that complements your dining furniture and room lighting. Wider-run rugs can help define the space and reduce visible transitions when used on stairs, though availability varies by product. If you’d like to explore green wool cut-pile options and matching stair carpets, the Taren Point showroom can show you current ranges and samples. Call 02 9526 6421 to discuss sizes, samples and installation considerations.
