Area rugs put over solid flooring add color, design, softness, and help define spaces. It is a decorating tradition that has been around ever since time. I think Moses had an area rug in his tent.

Most people (you excluded, apparently) think it looks nice.

We used Great Lakes for the floor in a den. Great job. Our neighbors did their whole villa in wood and used Roberto's, who sent out an entire cleaning crew the next day and cleaned the house from top (even cabinet tops) to bottom. They were very pleased.
