Re: Rugs and carpets
This is a very old thread and there could be an easier way to do in recent versions: Add a Box found in Miscellaneous category, resize it to the dimension of a carpet. Then, in its modification dialog box, click on the Modify button beside Materials option, select top material and change its texture with the image of a carpet you'll import.

Re: Rugs and carpets
Adding rugs definitely makes the 3D view feel more 'homey.' One thing I’ve started doing is picking out the actual rug I want first so the colors in the render are accurate.
I’ve been using some of the transitional patterns from Dash & Albert Rugs lately—you can just save the top-down view of the rug and import it as a 'User defined' texture in Sweet Home 3D. It makes a huge difference in the final lighting of the room when the rug texture looks authentic.
