Area rugs bridge the gap between hardwood, tile or concrete flooring and carpeting. Carpeting is a popular choice for home offices, but it’s not as aesthetically pleasing as hardwood or tile. Rugs give you the benefit of carpeting (to a degree), yet let you enjoy the overall look of hardwood, concrete or laminate.
In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.
