{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Yes. A dining room rug should extend beyond the chairs when they are pulled out. A common guideline is about 60\u201375 cm (24\u201330 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\u2011blend 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\u2019d like to explore green wool cut-pile options and matching stair carpets, the Taren Point showroom can show you current ranges and samples.
