scatter rugs
Small movable mats
Scatter rugs are small rugs, typically two to four feet in length, placed individually around a room rather than covering the entire floor.
They serve both decorative and practical purposes—adding color or pattern to a space, protecting high-traffic areas, or providing warmth underfoot in specific spots.
She placed scatter rugs by the bed and in front of the sink.
The name reflects how they're scattered about rather than fitted wall-to-wall.
