Difference Between Carpet & Rugs |
| |
|
Usually the two words carpets and rugs are used interchangeably.
Both are floor coverings with the only difference in size. Rugs
are smaller than carpets. |

Rugs |
|
Rugs do not usually exceed the length of 2m (6.5ft). They
usually have multiple uses. They may be used as centerpiece
flooring, or hung on wall. They may be used as foot rugs sofa or
bed throws or as table decor. They usually have an artistic or
stylish touch in terms of patterns, shape or color. They may be
as per the themes for a kids room, |
|
prayer rugs, for a lounge for a dressing room
etc. |
| |
|
The style of the rug varies with the purpose. Hand knotted rugs
may have intricate patterns of traditional Persian style or more
contemporary types but have a rather fine finish. As per the
size and purpose, they can be used as wall decor, on table tops
and sofas or to give an accent to the flooring. Tufted and felt
wool rugs are also used in the same manner. Shagged rugs are
more commonly used as bed or sofa throws or corner foot rugs. |

Carpets |

Usually anything larger than 2m or 6.5ft is termed as carpets.

theme of the room. They may form the plain wall to wall covering

They may be hand-knotted, tufted, machine made or felt wool. The
hand knotted carpets may have intricate patterns or simple
geometrical ones over all, in center or in the corner with the
traditional appeal or the contemporary style. Machine made plain
