For Dining Rooms: Take the size of the surface of your dining room table and add 6 feet to it. So, if your table is 3′ x 6′, I would start looking at a 9′ x 12′ carpet. This is important because it means that your dining chairs will still have all four legs on the rug, even when they’re pulled away from the table.
For Living Rooms: Once again, take a good look at where the legs of your furniture land. At minimum, I would want the front legs of all furniture in the seating area to be placed on the carpet. In an ideal situation, the back legs should be placed on the rug if possible, to help unify the space. A carpet floating in the middle of a room with only the cocktail table actually on it is also an option, but It could leave the room feeling a bit incomplete.
For Bedrooms: The best rule to keep in mind for your bedroom is that a majority of your rug will be under your bed. Depending on the layout of your room, I like to see between 3 and 4 feet of carpet exposed on all 3 sides of the bed.
Another way to determine rug size is to measure the size of the room and then subtract about 1½ feet. This will give you a 9-inch border of exposed flooring on each side. With all of these best practices, keep in mind that most rugs on the market come in standard sizes: 6′ x 9′, 8′ x 10′, 9′ x 12′, 10′ x 14′, and 12′ x 15′. If you’re not having something custom-made, find the one that is closest to the size you need. When in doubt, choose the larger size.

Now that we have the nitty-gritty of the size question solved, let’s get to the fun part and talk about pattern and style. This doesn’t involve any math or specific answers because design is not just about the math, it’s often all about balance. For dining rooms, sometimes it can be a good idea to get something with pattern. Dining rooms are often dominated with a large wooden table and chairs, so the pattern gives the room some interest – and can also hide any food stains. When you’re shopping for bedroom rugs, you should wear shoes that you can easily slip off because you want to be sure it feels good on your bare feet. The sales staff shouldn’t mind if you ask about the carpet’s “foot feel!” In your living room, it’s going to be about balance. If your furnishings are upholstered with heavy pattern, I might start looking at a piece that has a subtle pattern or a solid color. If your furnishings are upholstered in a solid color, I would use a patterned rug to add some interest.

Now for fibers, the most important thing to think about is how hard you’re going to be on the floors. We almost always recommend using 100% wool because I find it to be the easiest to clean and maintain. Silk and viscose are lovely and give the room a marvelous bit of shimmer, but, if you have small children or pets, it can get a little tricky to keep it looking fresh.
