The position of the rug depends on it purpose. If you plan to put the carpet in the children's room than you will probably want to look for one that can cover every inch of the room. You can place a rug in the corridor and match the patterns with the length of your hallway. Avoid placing pugs in front of the window and under the dresser if possible. You do not need to look for a rug made out of wool because you can find a lot more materials that can complement the aesthetics of your interior.

If you opt for a smaller rug you might want to consider buying rug pads in order to prevent slipping or tipping over it. There are some pads made out of recycled materials and eco friendly materials which is a much better choice than the regular ones.
