For a dining rug, allow sufficient extra rug beyond the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out. A common recommendation is to extend the rug at least 60–75 cm beyond the table edge on all sides; this keeps chair legs on the rug and frames the dining zone. Measure with the chairs pulled out to check clearance for your specific setting. Rugs should also suit the room proportions and traffic routes.
