Best Answer

The primary difference between an area rug and a throw rug is size, although this distinction is subjective. Area rugs tend towards larger dimensions and will often nearly fill the entire exposed floor area where they are placed. Throw rugs will cover less floor area and leave more of the basic flooring exposed. Note that what is a throw rug for a very large room could be considered an area rug for a smaller room!

Area rugs cushion and protect hard wood or stone floors. They help insulate a room and protect your feet from cold floors, and absorb sound in a room. Throw rugs are usually use to decorate the house, and generally less thicker than area rugs. Most of them can be easily cleaned in a washing machine.
