I like to use the oriental carpets in high-traffic areas such as the foyer or under a breakfast room table because they are so durable and if they have a dense pattern, they hide a multitude of sins. Also, I will sometimes use them in kitchens and baths because it softens the area and brings color and pattern to the many hard surfaces in those rooms.
