Affordable rugs DO EXIST, you just have to know where to look for them!
Hello lovely readers! Hopefully you have read enough of my posts to know that I am cheap thrifty so hunting down affordable rugs is really important to me :) Let's face it–rugs can be very, very expensive which is frustrating because rugs can make a HUGE impact in a room and can really help pull a room together. No one should be deprived the joy of a beautiful rug. So read on to learn where I shop for affordable rugs for my own home!
I have purchased 5 area rugs in the past few years and have scoured the internet for good deals. In the process, I have found some AMAZING sources for affordable rugs and today I am going to share those sources with you. Trust me, you don't have to sacrifice style to find a good deal!
Now, let me tell you how I define “affordable rug.” If I can score a 5 x 7 rug for under $300, I am pretty happy considering what a dramatic impact a rug can make in a room. And many of the rugs and online sources that I am sharing with you below will score you deals well below $300! Read on for details and if you agree that this post is a great rug resource, please share it and pin it so that others can benefit from it as well.

October 5, 2015 at 11:41 amI’m looking for a rug that measures 10 x 14. Having a tough time finding a company that sells for reasonable prices. Any suggestions?

October 6, 2015 at 12:16 pmHi Melissa! I would search Rugs USA by rug size. Rugs USA offers the best value by far!

August 9, 2015 at 11:19 amI am trying to find a rug that’s 4 x 7 or even 4 x 6 1/2 would work. Any suggestions without special ordering something that’s ridiculous in cost?
Thanks for any guidance you may have.

May 5, 2015 at 11:42 amThanks for these! I recently got a nice rug from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. An “oriental” rug 3 x 5 for about $50. It’s polypropylene, so good for entry way traffic. Plus they have coupons in the mail that never expire.
Authentic Asian rugs are at Overstock, but cost more. Contemporary rugs are a good buy at IKEA also.

January 6, 2015 at 8:37 amMy favorite source for affordable wool rugs is overstock.com. They have a huge selection and many 5×8 rugs are under $3. I just did a search for 5 x 8 wool rugs under $300 and got 8236 options.

January 11, 2015 at 3:24 pmGreat tip, Susie! I hadn’t even thought about Overstock!!!

December 13, 2014 at 1:48 pmgreat resources – thank you. I can’t stand spending a ton of money on rugs even though I know they have a huge impact. Any tips for avoiding rugs that shed? Do you have to spend a lot or go with the indoor/outdoor variety to avoid the shedding? Thanks!!
Tasha A. says
December 20, 2014 at 4:07 pmThat’s a good quest, Keri. I have always purchased wood rugs and they always shed, whether they were cheap or expensive. Eventually, they stop. So, I just suffer through the first month or so and do a lot of vacuuming :)

October 23, 2014 at 7:43 amThe Hubby and I are dreaming of replacing our living room floor with hard wood. One of these rugs would look awesome on our dream floor! I love the colors and patterns you chose–any one of these rugs would bring a pop of color & personality to our living room. Pinning this in case that project becomes a reality!
