Carpet Tiles
Carpet tiles, such as these tiles from Flor, are ideal for high-traffic areas where rugs are most likely to get beat up. If an area of rug becomes worn or stained beyond repair, simply pop out the offending tile and replace it with a new one. The tiles can also be arranged into any configuration, whether it's an area rug for the playroom or an L-shaped runner in the kitchen.
