The time period "carpet" is often used interchangeably with the time period "rug", although the time period "carpet" will be applied to a ground overlaying that covers a complete house, whereas a "rug" is generally no larger than a single room, and historically does not even span from one wall to a different, and is often not even attached as part of the floor.
