Area Rugs add a theme, personality, enhance decoration and ideas, and are a visually appealing to your residence

Area rugs can also be used to cover not so appealing vinyl and old floors, stop some of the sound old floors make when you walk on them. Insulation: Area rugs warm a room by acting as insulation between the floor and your feet; an area rug keeps your feet from coming in contact with a cold surface. Generally, an area rug better insulates the room and your feet from the cold. Area rugs aren't just a way to add color and style -- they were invented for the practical reason of keeping your floors cozy. Floors account for as much as 10 percent of heat loss if they're not insulated, according to the National Energy Foundation, and rugs can be that missing insulation. They'll keep cool air from seeping up into the room.
