Carpet runners are long, narrow rugs meant to be used in hallways, galley kitchens, or other areas of the home where space is narrow, but long. Carpet runners are also used on stairs, but these models do not have the backing used on carpet runners for the floor. Area rugs and carpet runners can add a decorative element to hardwood floors while making them warmer and more comfortable to walk on. Carpet runners are a good choice if you want to protect your hardwood, tile or marble flooring. Rug runners with busy all-over pattern, that give the feel of a texture rather than a design, are a better choice for high traffic areas. When you need to match your carpet runner to other existing patterns, not all the colors in the carpet runner need to match the colors in your environment. At least one color in your rug runner should coordinate.
Carpet runners are constructed of high quality material and resist heal catching and carpet gathering common with inexpensive cloth and vinyl products. Carpet runners tend to fit nicely down the length of cabinet and counter space, providing both a cushioned area on which to stand when washing dishes or preparing food and a decorative touch. Carpet runners in the kitchen and stick to synthetic fibers that are easier to clean and can withstand water. It is best to have carpet runners for the stairs professionally installed. A poorly installed carpet runner on stairs poses a potential safety hazard, since tripping and falling is a serious concern.

Executive Summary of Carpet Rugs by Michael Russell
To give your place a warm and cozy look, it is preferable to have carpet rugs or rugs that act as floor coverings. The difference between a carpet and a rug is that a carpet is specific for the floor while a rug can be used anywhere, on walls, tables, and of course floors.
Rugs are more versatile in their usage while carpets are often specific. Carpets are available in various materials and styles. However, carpet rugs are more diverse as they are available in varied patterns and are available in larger variety. Often, carpet rugs are referred as Berber rugs as they are mostly made of Berber; however, it is not a certainty. Large rugs are usually used as floor coverings for various places, like large halls, conference rooms’ etcetera. The other requirements for the large rugs are that they should have high strength. Additionally, it is required they be easy to clean, as large rugs are usually difficult to clean. This depends on the material used.
Rugs, in general, are pieces of cloth, or other material, to protect the walls, tables, and floors. However, now a day, they are used more for decoration and styling purposes. There are modern rugs, continental rugs, oriental rugs, Indian rugs, Mexican rugs etcetera.
Also, you need to thoroughly research for the best available quality and prices. Often, in the name of closing discount and season sale, manufacturers try to sell of moth-eaten or otherwise damaged material but you need to check them before you actually buy. For above reasons, it is better to purchase rugs from a reputed dealer, who has his reputation to save. Add to that, if you purchase something from them another time, they are sure to offer you high discounts, as is mostly the case with reputed dealers.
