a small rug used to complement the design or color scheme of a room

An accent rug is a small, decorative rug used to add color, texture, or style to a room. Unlike larger rugs that cover a significant portion of the floor, accent rugs are typically placed in specific areas, such as near a door, under a coffee table, or in front of a fireplace. They can feature a variety of designs, from bold patterns to subtle tones, and are often used to complement existing furniture or décor. Accent rugs help define spaces, add warmth, and can easily be swapped out for a quick change in the room's look.
