I've heard there are different types of rugs, but I don't know what the differences are.

There are a few main types of rugs - area rugs, accent rugs, and runners. Area rugs are typically larger than other types of rugs and are meant to cover an entire floor or part of one. Accent rugs are smaller and are usually placed in areas where people will walk over them often, like near entrances or around furniture. Runners are typically thinner and can be used as pathways between rooms.
