Think about what we call them; “scatter” rugs, “throw” rugs, carpet runners, and “slip” rugs.
Maybe we should pay attention to the words we use.
I saw a woman being interviewed in the eastern Sahara. She had rugs and carpets stuck up on the walls of her tent. Maybe the Middle East has the right idea.
They’re on the walls because they dangle like relaxing cats.
It’s probably what they want.
