fitted carpet

Room-spanning floor covering

Fitted carpet is wall-to-wall carpeting cut and installed to cover an entire floor, as opposed to area rugs that sit on top of flooring.

The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say wall-to-wall carpet or simply carpeting.

The landlord replaced the fitted carpet before we moved in.
