Should I get an area rug instead of wall-to-wall carpet?

An area rug is the right call when you want flexibility, easy swap-outs, or to protect a hardwood floor. Wall-to-wall is the right call when you want full coverage, warmth, sound dampening, and a finished look from baseboard to baseboard.

Pick a rug when:

• The hard floor underneath is in good shape and you would rather show it
• You move often and want to take the floor with you
• You want to redecorate every few years
• Only the centre of the room needs softening

Pick wall-to-wall when:

• The full floor needs replacing anyway
• Bedrooms, basements, or stairs are in scope
• You want consistent warmth and noise reduction
