A rug is a thick and heavy floor covering similar to a carpet. The difference between a rug and a carpet is that a carpet tends to cover the entire floor, while a rug covers only a small portion.

Rugs are sometimes hard to distinguish from mats. Consider the placement, shape, and texture when making a distinction.

• Tend to be larger than mats.
• Commonly oval, circular, or rectangular shaped. Mats are usually rectangular.
