Did you know that you can go to most carpet stores and pick out a carpet you like for your area rug? That's what we did here. The house we bought needed all new carpet and we had a huge 14 by 16 piece left so we had it bound into an area rug. Now the room looks great with the wood floor showing around the edge and an area rug that matches our carpet in the middle of the room. We have carpet pad under ours because it has a jute back but you can buy carpets with a soft cotton like back on them that don't need pad or floor protection.
That's what we had in our last house. It was actually a remnant, cream colored with a palm tree branch design cut into the carpet.....the backing was soft cotton and we had it bound with a cream colored binding......it looked great with the oak floors. It was a 10 by 12 and it was only $120.00 done and delivered.
