There is no home decor law that stipulates how large or small area rugs should be; the choice is entirely your own. Small rugs can be used in a variety of different ways. Small rugs are usually used as stepping rugs when you enter a house or next to a sink.

Small Rugs in the Kitchen

Many people use small rugs in front of a kitchen sink. It is nice to have a rug in front of the kitchen sink in order to have something on which to stand when you are working at the sink. If you usually walk around the house bare-feet, you'll see how good it feels to stand on a small rug when working at the kitchen sink.

Small Rugs in the Bathroom

Small rugs can also be placed in the bathroom. Depending on the size of your bathroom, you may choose to have several small rugs. You can use one that is outside of the tub so you have something soft and plush to put your feet on when you step out of the tub. A small rug outside the tub also helps you not track water all over the tile.

A small rug placed next to the sink can be very comfortable when you are grooming, especially if you are in your bare feet.

Small Rugs at the Entrance

Another use for a small rug is at the entrance way of any doors that lead to the outside so everyone can wipe their feet before entering the house. You can use a small rug just about anywhere that there is an outside door. It is often a good idea to have a welcome mat on the front steps and a small rug in the interior to make sure that people do not track in mud into the house.

If you have a patio door, you can also put a small rug in front of the door in order to catch footprints and dirt from shoes.

Small Rugs in the Bedroom

Another use for small rugs can be next to your bed. Imagine getting up in the morning and putting your feet on something soft and fluffy; like a flokati shag area rug. What a lovely feeling as you swing out of bed on a cold winter's morning

Small Rugs Anywhere

You can use small rugs wherever there is traffic and you want to protect the carpeting, or wherever you want people to wipe their feet. There are many different uses for small rugs. They provide comfort for our feet, give us something to wipe our feet on when we come in from outside or get out of the tub. They feel good when we step on them when we are working against a sink or when we put our feet on them after getting out of bed.

Small rugs come in a variety of different styles, colors and even textures. You can get anything from small Persian rugs to small bathroom rugs that can get tossed into the wash. There are even novelty rugs that you can use to add a bit of decor to a room.

Small rugs are a great way to add beauty and comfort to your home without having to break the bank.
