Why Choose Area Rugs Over Full Room Carpets?

There are numerous advantages for choosing an area rug over a full room carpet. Many homeowners prefer area rugs due to their both practical and aesthetic benefits for a space. Here are a few reasons why area rugs are a better option than a full room carpet:

1. Area rugs can generally be cheaper than installing carpet flooring throughout your entire home. This gives you the opportunity to decorate your space while maintaining a budget.
2. Area rugs come in a variety of shapes, colors, designs and materials. This makes them very versatile in any space. Area rugs, unlike carpet, are also easy to switch out or replace, if you want to update your decor style at some point.
3. As rugs have become more and more popular for decorating a space, it has become more common to find machine washable rugs. The cleaning and maintenance of an area rug has become easier than ever and it is significantly easier than hiring someone to clean your carpet flooring. Just pick up your area rug and throw it in the wash if it needs cleaning.
4. Placing an area rug by high traffic areas can also protect any underlying flooring from wear and tear. Place an area rug by any entrance door to your home or even outside your door. This helps prevent dirt from entering your home. Since they are easy to clean as well, it is easy to pick them up and shake them out outside.
5. Area rugs are also a great option If someone in your household has allergies. Area rugs are an excellent way of boosting the aesthetics of your home, while making it easy to clean. Since area rugs aren’t installed like carpet, it is easy to pick them up and clean or move them. Allergens can be removed easier from area rugs.
