Most people don't give much thought to carpets until they live someplace with wood or laminate floors. I know I'm in that boat myself, which helped inspire this slideshow of unconventional carpets and ridiculous rugs.
From typography rugs to faux pebble floors, these carpets showcase the best creations you won't find in your local home decor store.
Implications - Thanks to the magic of the Internet, however, it is becoming increasingly easy to check out some of the most creative floor-covering designs that the world has to offer. Who wouldn't want a typography rug that can be customized to say whatever you want? I know that I definitely do!
