What is the difference between a rug and a mat?
1 Answer
A rug is a robust, thick floor covering used to protect the floor or for decorative purposes. A mat is typically small and while it's also placed on the floor, it's mainly used for wiping feet. Common materials used for creating rugs are wool, silk, cotton and synthetics. Shop a collection of vintage and designer rugs and mats from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
