wall-to-wall carpet

Complete floor textile

Carpet that covers an entire floor from one wall to another, fitted and usually tacked down or glued rather than laid as a loose rug.

Wall-to-wall carpet was a status marker in mid-twentieth-century American homes, signaling modern comfort over bare floors or area rugs: The house still has its original wall-to-wall carpet from the seventies.
