What is difference between "Rug" and "Carpet?"?
Question:
Answers:
The word carpet is a loose term for room-sized rugs that are forty square feet or more (6 feet x 9 feet or more) while the average area rug (i.e., Persian policheh) is approximately 4 feet x 7 feet. Whatever their size, Oriental and European rugs and carpets consist of pile tied by Persian or Turkish knots to a foundation (wool, silk, hemp or, in the case of modern factory-made carpets, jute.)
To me, a carpet fully covers the floor, wall to wall.
A rug covers just a portion of it.
Carpet is installed wall to wall. Rugs just lay there.
