History
A carpet can be defined as a woven loom or a textile that covers the floors. Only after 18th century carpets were used on the floor, before that they were used on tables and as wall coverings. The first hand-knotted pile carpet originated in Central Asia. Sometime in the 10th century, carpet making was introduced to Spain. Carpets are made from wool and silk. Often the words rug and carpet are used interchangeably. However, their differentiation can be done based on their size and usage.

It is also good to choose a carpet with good cushion. Carpet cushion is capable of noticeably extending carpet life as it protects the carpet when you walk on it. It takes up the downward force due to someone walking on it, bouncing back the suppressed portion of the carpet. Cushion of the carpet is believed to add to carpet comfort and enhances the rich look of the carpet. If you install a cushion below a carpet this helps in making your room quiet and warm.
