What is the difference between an area rug and an accent rug?
an area rug would be more to cover an area and the accent just adds to the looks..
An Area rug is generally to cover a wood floor and is for walking on; typically in the middle of the room. It is not wall-to-wall like carpet, but normally large. An accent rug is generally smaller, and used only furniture for decoration, or as a mat by a door. An accent rug is a sub-set of area rugs. All Accent rugs are area rugs, but not all area rugs are accent rugs.
