For living rooms, calculate the seating area and opt for a rug that will be quite big to place at least the front legs of your furniture on it. For dining areas, make certain the rug is pretty large to hold both the table and the chairs while letting room for someone to sit conveniently without the chair legs falling off the rug.

To choose a color and pattern, consider your other belongings. If you have considerable color and pattern in your furniture and other décor items, look into choosing a rug with a neutral color or subtle pattern to pull the room together. If your furniture is neutral, think about picking a rug that will perk up your space.
