This is a very small mod, by request, that has two toggleable options:

• Allow Overlap - lets you place furniture overlapping with other furniture (e.g. placing a rug underneath an already placed table) - default true
• Pickup If Under - lets you pickup rugs from underneath other furniture (this is the vanilla behaviour) - default false
  

You can change either of these options in GMCM or by editing the config file created after running the game.

This video shows the difference in behaviour:
