An area rug is a decorative floor covering, smaller than a wall to wall carpet, and is designed to be placed on hard surfaces, like hardwood, tile, or concrete. Using an area rug can help you define a space—like a seating area—and help separate it from the rest of the room. Area rugs also add texture and color, and warm and liven up any room. Plus, they’re cozy and comfortable under your feet so you’ll love going barefoot in your own home. Available in a variety of sizes, you can add a modern area rug to practically any room in your home, like a living room, dining room, bathroom—or take things outside with an outdoor area rug.
