area rug

a decorative rug that covers only a portion of the floor and is often used to define a space or add color and texture to a room

An area rug is a piece of fabric used to cover part of a floor, typically smaller than a wall-to-wall carpet. It is placed in a specific area of a room, such as under a dining table, in front of a sofa, or near a bed. Area rugs come in various sizes, shapes, colors, and designs, allowing them to complement the existing décor of a space. They add warmth, comfort, and style, while also helping to reduce noise and protect the floor underneath. Area rugs can be easily moved, cleaned, or replaced, making them a versatile option for many homes.
