Answer

For a dining table and chairs, a rug should extend at least two feet beyond all sides to allow chairs to remain on it when pulled out. A common optimal size is ten by thirteen feet for standard tables. This generous rug size protects floors, reduces noise, and unifies the space while encouraging smooth chair movement. Choosing the right rug size instantly elevates the room's comfort and visual appeal.
