Is there such a thing as carpet in Korea? Or is this still a foreign item? I don't want to get wall to wall carpet. I would like to however get like, I dunno maybe a 12x12 ft piece of bound carpet for the living room. Is it possible? Does anyone know where to look or a place that might do something like that.

Thanks in advance.

Korea is a dusty place. You're not dusting every other day yet? Carpet is just a magnet for the stuff.

You can, however, find area rugs at some E-marts, Lotte Marts, department stores, Namdaemun, and various mom-and-pop shops.

Yeah, maybe Seoul is a dusty place, but not everyone lives in Seoul. I know there are rug stores but they are too small. I wanted to custom order a piece of carpet.

Carpeting, or big rugs for that matter, don't work well with the floorheating systems in Korea.

I've never seen carpeting for sale, but I'm sure the interior design companies would know where to get some.
