Ideally, the rug should be large enough to completely fit under significant pieces of furniture, with a 12-to-18-inch extension on the bare floor. In the dining space, it should be large enough to fit under both the table and chairs. If that's not possible, it's perfectly acceptable to place it under the front legs, but be sure there's still the extension. Bedrooms are problematic so that you might use two matching runners on each side of the bed.
