 The most popular locations to use area rugs are the dining room and the living room. The rules of thumb for these locations are pretty universal, but before placing a rug you must consider the size of your room. If you have a large space, the furniture grouping will dictate the size of the rugs. If your rooms are small to average, then both the room size and furniture groupings must be considered.
To place a rug under the dining and breakfast room tables, measure the space covered when a person is sitting in a chair and add approximately six inches.
The goal is to have everyone seated comfortably at the table without the back legs of the chairs hanging off the rug. Scooting closer to the table can be very difficult if the back legs of the chairs are hung on the edge of the rug. Most rugs come in standard sizes so you will want to purchase the size that best matches the measurements you need. If this size looks too small because you have a very large room, simply jump up to the next available size.
 Placing a rug in a living room has a little more flexibility since sofas, chairs etc. do not need to be moved for comfort. Arrange your furniture in the manner you like best.
Then measure the floor space covered by the grouping, adding a little for overhang. You can then buy the size that comes closest to this, or you may reduce the size and allow the rug to end under the middle of the sofa or chair. A rug that ends in front of furniture pieces is too small. A measurement somewhere between the first two options is ideal. Again, if your room is extremely large, you may want to bump up in size a little, but remember to keep the rug in proportion to the seating arrangement.
