This Jonathan Alder model is a good neutral but graphic choice for a carpet. Once you have chosen your carpet style (area, runner or round), you can do it with a classic or padded carpet, which is the best to stand and fold. My carpet is larger, so it is more expensive, but version 3 by 5 feet is just as pleasant to spice up a room, and it is affordable. Guilty models like this are machine washable – it’s a life buoy if you overthrow something on it.
