The time period "carpet" is commonly used interchangeably with the time period "rug", though the time period "carpet" may be utilized to a ground overlaying that covers a complete house, whereas a "rug" is mostly no larger than a single room, and historically doesn't even span from one wall to another, and is often not even hooked up as a part of the floor.
