Analysis

With a Beauty of 2, carpets can quickly upgrade a "mediocre" room to an "impressive" one, perfect for those troublesome greedy colonists.

Carpet can be particularly useful in the desert where wood is hard to come by or when you might not want to use up all your precious metals. Starting a cloth farm is pretty easy, especially if you have hydroponics researched, and if you don't have the time to spare or the skill to smooth floors, it's a nice substitute. Players also use this to color code rooms, for their own benefit.
