What are Area Rugs?
A rug usually much smaller than that of the room is called an area rug. Area rugs are different from wall-to-wall carpeting, which covers the entire room. Among the most popular sizes are 5'x8' and 8'x11'. Geometric rugs (often rectangular or circular in shape) can also come in irregular, organic shapes (such as sheepskin or cowhide rugs).
