Carpets vs Rugs: Choosing the Perfect Floor Covering for Your Home

April 19, 20242 min read

Looking to add a touch of warmth, comfort, and style to your home? Carpets and rugs are fantastic flooring options, but with so many choices, picking the right one can be tricky. Here at Coastline Flooring you don’t have to worry, we’ve got you covered.


Choosing the Perfect Fit

Of all the choices you have to make regarding your home, perhaps the biggest one comes down to the floor. They aren’t just a delight to place our feet on. How do I choose between a rug vs carpet?

  • Carpets: When used in coordination with a design or decor scheme in the home, wall-to-wall carpeting unifies the different rooms in the home and can make a small home seem larger. Besides these benefits, the dense fibers of carpets provide insulation and can muffle sounds, making a room quieter. If you're craving patterns, use geometric carpet tiles for a one-of-a-kind look.

  • Rugs: Rugs add an extra aesthetic to the decoration of your rooms, as they are available in different elegant colors, textures and styles. Rugs may be moved and rearranged to fit different areas of your home since they are portable. Rugs can also be used as wall hangings. Never really thought that your walls would look this great without those expensive pieces of modern art, did you ?

Rug vs Carpet Maintenance

Both rugs and carpets can be steam cleaned. Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential for preserving the beauty and functionality of both rugs and carpets, ensuring they remain in top condition for years to come.

  • Carpet cleaning :  Carpets, being larger and covering the entire floor area, often require professional cleaning methods such as steam cleaning or hot water extraction to remove deep-seated dirt and stains.

  • Rug cleaning : Rugs being smaller and  movable, can be spot-cleaned or even hand-washed at home. Using a vacuum with a beater bar or rotary brush will help loosen and remove deep-down dirt and debris. Vacuuming slowly and evenly will ensure that all areas of the rug are cleaned thoroughly. Be sure to vacuum both sides of the rug if it is reversible.
