The term "carpet" is usually used interchangeably with the term "rug", though the term "carpet" could be applied to a flooring covering that covers an entire house, whereas a "rug" is generally no greater than a single room, and historically doesn't even span from one wall to a different, and is typically not even hooked up as a part of the floor.

Carpets are used for a variety of purposes, including insulating a person's toes from a chilly tile or concrete flooring, making a room extra comfortable as a spot to take a seat on the ground (e.g., when taking part in with kids or as a prayer rug), reducing sound from walking (particularly in residence buildings) and including decoration or shade to a room. Carpets could be made in any shade by using in a different way dyed fibers. Carpets can have many various kinds of patterns and motifs used to embellish the surface. Within the 2000s, carpets are used in industrial and commercial institutions corresponding to retail shops and lodges and in private homes. Within the 2010s, an enormous vary of carpets and rugs can be found at many worth and high quality levels, starting from cheap, synthetic carpets which can be mass-produced in factories and used in commercial buildings to expensive hand-knotted wool rugs which are used in private properties of wealthy families.

Carpet is often made in widths of 12 toes (3.7 m) and 15 toes (4.6 m) within the USA, four m and 5 m in Europe. For the reason that twentieth century, where necessary for wall-to-wall carpet, totally different widths of carpet could be seamed together with a seaming iron and seam tape (formerly it was sewn collectively) and fixed to a flooring over a cushioned underlay (pad) utilizing nails, tack strips (known within the UK as gripper rods), adhesives, or occasionally ornamental metal stair rods. Wall-to-wall carpet is distinguished from rugs or mats, which are loose-laid flooring coverings, as wall-to-wall carpet is fixed to the ground and covers a much larger area.

Child labor has typically been used in Asia for hand knotting rugs. The GoodWeave labelling scheme used all through Europe and North America assures that child labour has not been used: importers pay for the labels, and the income collected is used to observe facilities of manufacturing and educate previously exploited children.
