A rug is basically used to signify a textile covering which covers a part of the floor. Rugs are natural insulators and help reduce noise levels by absorbing them. They provide warmth and respite for bare feet. Colorful rugs can be used for adding color and life to an otherwise neutral colored area. Rugs are also easier to clean than carpets. In fact, latest interior designs recommend using multihued rugs to make the room livelier. There are various types of densities in which rugs are available, ranging from the coarse variety, 30 knots per inch, to the very fine variety, 290 knots per inch.
