throw rugs

Small floor coverings

A throw rug is a small rug, typically placed over a larger carpet or hard floor to add color, warmth, or comfort in a specific spot.

The name suggests something casually thrown down rather than permanently installed: She scattered a few throw rugs around the living room.

Also called area rugs or accent rugs.
