Does it look tacky if I put a rug on carpet?
Should rugs only be used on wood floors?

Not tacky at all. I’m an HGTV addict. It’s quite common for designers to use area rugs on top of wall-wall carpet to create ‘areas’… and/or break up a large room into separate areas… For example use area rugs in a large multi function room to separate a dining area from the TV area.
In fact, I have an area rug in my living room that sits between the sofa and the entertainment center. It add a beautiful pattern and pulls the room together.
Heck no, people do it all the time! I think those rope rugs look great on carpeting and it keeps the high traffic areas of your rug clean too! As long as the color scheme matches, go for it!
