scatter rug
Accent floor covering
A scatter rug is a small rug, typically placed in front of a door, beside a bed, or in a hallway—anywhere you might want a bit of warmth or color without covering the whole floor.
The name suggests rugs scattered here and there rather than a single large carpet: She put scatter rugs throughout the apartment.
