Rugs are a great way to warm up cold floors, create a feeling of luxury and warmth underfoot and help tie together a room’s color palette. They are also portable and can be easily repositioned or exchanged for a new one on a whim, making them an ideal solution for renters who aren’t allowed to paint their walls or hang more permanent decorations.
What’s the difference between a rug and a carpet?
A rug is a floor covering made from thick, often napped fabric or woven strips of rag, or an animal skin. It is distinguished from a carpet, which covers the entire floorspace and is glued or stapled to the ground.
The field design is a pattern that occupies the central space of the rug and can be an allover or panel composition, a simple check or stripe, or a medallion system. The borders are the edges that frame the field design and can consist of inner and outer guard stripes, subordinate bands on either side of the main border.
Rugs are a good choice for people who are allergic to synthetic fibers. Wool rugs in particular are hypoallergenic, which means they can be more comfortable for those with sensitive skin and breathing problems. Plus, natural rugs tend to hold up better than synthetics and can be more easily cleaned. They are a natural stain repellent and have a soft, insulating feel that will keep your feet warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
