Why We Love Rugs

Have you ever noticed that when rugs are absent from a room, the room seems unfinished? It may even have a cold or sterile feel to it. This is why we love rugs. Rugs add the finishing touches to any room, making the room feel lived in and loved. There was a time when rugs were only used for wiping ones feet, or for hiding flaws in carpeting or wood floors. This is no longer the case. We do have rugs for wiping our feet, but rugs that we use in rooms of our home are generally for decorative purposes, and are designed to not only add to the decor, but to also withstand heavy foot traffic. With so many uses for rugs, from the aspect of wiping ones feet, to making a room feel loved and lived in, is it any wonder that we love rugs so much?
