I'm not familiar with "Maples Rugs," but in general, yes you can use area rugs on hardwood floors. Importantly, though, it is critical that you use an area rug pad underneath ANY area rug.
This is important so that a) you don't scratch the hardwood underneath, 2) provides slip resistance, and c) prolongs the life of your area rug.

Is it more is it more cost effective to have carpet or hardwood floors?
As usual this would depend on many factors. Size of the room? What are you putting it over? Is the subfloor perfectly level and smooth? - If not, what is the cost of prep for the new flooring? Carpet covers many flaws that a tile or wood floor won't. From a purely green perspective a natural wood floor is the most cost effective. Trees are planted for use in manufacturing of the materials not like carpet which is almost 100 percent synthetic (or wool which is very expensive or silk which is beyond the reach of most people). Cleaning wood only requires a microfiber mop and a little soap and water where carpet requires an expensive vacuum and electricity to maintain as well as chemicals or steam to clean periodically over its life. The average life of carpet is 10 -- 15 years and must always be replaced -- a natural wood floor can last the life of the house and can be repaired or resurfaced. So, the answer to your question is: If you are living in a home that you do not plan to be in for more than 10 years -- buy less expensive carpet and let the new owners can decide on a new color if they want to. If you are living in what will be the family home for many years and be passed on for future generations -- go natural. The initial cost of wood is not that much more than that of a really good carpet but will last so much longer.
How much does it cost to install ceramic tile floors?
I am a contractor, have been for 10 + years and my company charges $4.75 per square foot. That includes your durrock and underlayment. However it DOES NOT include you tile or grout. When you get into walls, showers, or irregular areas the price does vary. If you have 3/4 inch subfloor don't let anyone else convince you that you need any other underlayment or anything such as that. It is not necessary and they are simply selling you what you don't need. If you are wanting a heated floor system mats are not the way to go. We use a heater wire that comes on a roll and is much cheaper and much easier to install.
