Heated….RUGS?

Did you know there are such things as rug heaters? Me either! From Warmly Yours, the 1/4″ thick rug heaters fit under area rugs like a traditional rug pad. But these pads you plug in, giving you a pleasant case of toasty toes.

The rug heaters come outfitted with a dual temperature control which you can set to either high or low. Having a house full of quarter-sawn oak floors, I’d probably only use it on tiled (concrete-based) areas–which really are the coldest–as I’d worry the direct temperature fluctuation might compromise all that wooden loveliness. 

Available in 3’6″ x 4’6″ (the perfect size for under a desk!), a rug heater can be yours for $199. To order and for more information, visit Warmly Yours.
