An area rug, also known as a carpet, is a decorative piece of fabric used to cover sections of floors. Rugs are available in various materials, sizes, and designs. They are commonly used in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices to enhance the decor of these spaces. Other words that can be used to describe an area rug include a floor mat, carpet tile, floor covering, throw rug, tapestry, and doormat. Soft, pile, shag, woven, and flat weaves are textures that area rugs come in, and some rugs are very ornate and colorful, while others are typically plain and subtle. Accentuate your space with a rug that suits your style!
