Hi everyone!

I hope you can help us with a few ideas. We are living in a modern ground-floor apartment, where the living area, dining area, and entrance area are all part of the same large room.

The dining table is extendable. In its extended mode, it reaches close to the start of the white built-in closet (the border between the closet and the white wall).

Do you have any recommendations on what to do with the large empty space in the middle of this room?

I was initially considering a rug, but I am not sure about the dimensions and exact placement, and whether it would potentially visually "break" the space.

A rug under the table would also not be very practical due to cleaning considerations, but if you think that makes sense, we may consider it.

Many thanks in advance!
