How to choose dining room rug material to prevent chair scraping?

Flat-woven rugs are ideal to prevent chair scraping noises in a dining room. Materials like wool blends balance durability and softness, absorbing sound and protecting floors. Avoid high-pile rugs that catch chair legs. Selecting a dense, low-pile rug around ten by thirteen feet helps chairs glide smoothly, reduce wear, and adds warmth, making dining more comfortable and refined.
