What size/shape rug do I need?

You want the rug you choose to be proportional to your space. As long as you give yourself adequate clearance, there are no rules on shape...

Should I go with a solid color or pattern?

In this case, you'll want to figure out exactly what you want your rug to say. Do you want it to stand out or blend in? A pattern is by its nature designed to attract attention...

How do I know if a rug is durable enough for my space?

The best indicator of a rug's durability is indicated by a traffic level rating (the higher the number, the more foot traffic a rug can tolerate and still look good). If a traffic level rating isn't available, the measured pile height or construction type is also a good way to determine durability.

Is it possible to have a rug in locations that can get wet?

Of course. There is an array of indoor/outdoor rugs made out of special synthetic yarns that are resistant to moisture. (That being said, it's not recommended to leave these rugs sitting outside in constant moisture year round.)
