A rug is soft and textured using yarns and warm fibers. Warm air can be trapped underneath the rug fibers and act as insulation. Therefore, it can be used to manipulate the feeling of warmth in the room and can change a person’s perception. Using a warmer toned rug such as reds and oranges can help mimic the feeling of added warmth, even if there is no actual temperature increase. The soft and luxurious feel of a rug bestows your feet with a toe-caress feeling. Whether you are walking barefoot or in slippers, a rug helps your feet in keeping warm, especially during the winter season. This in turn can be very beneficial when you are wanting to cover a cold, hard surface and making it a warmer place to sit on - especially if the kids love playing on the floor.
Brighten a Dark Room
It is very common in modern homes, to have darker smooth surface flooring. These flooring options are good for concealing stains and spillages and are easy to clean messes off of, but they absorb too much light and take away from the room itself. The room often appears a little darker than it actually is and it can be a problem for areas that already lack natural lighting. Putting in a light shade of carpet, something like a light pink rug or a light blue rug can help provide some contrast and brighten up the area. You won’t have to sacrifice having darker smooth surface flooring but also maintain the amount of natural light you have.

Decorative item
Even though the main reason to buy a rug would be for comfort, a rug can add to a room in more ways than one. Aesthetics and visual effects are very important and the look of the carpet often is the deciding factor on which rug to buy. Having a rug has the ability to add a decorative piece to the floor that matches the furniture and accessories of the room can just be the very thing that ties everything together - whether it is the complementary piece to the furniture and the walls or it acts as the focal point and draws in attention when you look at the room. In open floor plans, where there are connecting rooms, using a rug can help you divide the space and allow the areas to have their own aesthetic. This is particularly useful for people who don’t have a lot of room and want some segregation to make it feel like the place is larger than it actually is.
Noise Reduction:
Having a busy household can be bad enough, but when there is excess noise, it can be become really difficult to live with. Reflective surfaces are known for increasing the sound and effects of echoes as they allow sound waves to bounce right off of them. Reducing reflective surfaces reduces the chances of echoes as it covers the surface with textured padding. It absorbs the sound waves rather than reflects them back into the room. This biggest reflective surface is often the large, smooth-surface floor and this can become less reflective by covering with a rug. The type of rug is not a concern as any rug can work wonders in noise reduction. It simply is that the larger the rug, the more effective it is in noise reduction.
Cover Imperfections:

This is a temporary fixture and is perfect for rented homes where the renter would be unable or reluctant to change the flooring.
