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.

You forgot Home Goods! From runners to room sized. Gorgeous and affordable.
I’m looking for a rug that measures 10 x 14. Having a tough time finding a company that sells for reasonable prices. Any suggestions?
Hi Melissa! I would search Rugs USA by rug size. Rugs USA offers the best value by far!
I 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.
Thanks 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.
I have shedding dogs so I’ve been looking for outdoor rugs for a little easier cleaning. Do u have a source for outdoor rugs too? Thanks!!!!
Hi Nanci! I haven’t put together a post about outdoor rugs, but World Market has my absolute FAVORITE outdoor rugs and they are fairly affordable. You can check them out here: http://goo.gl/MPPduQ
My 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.
Great tip, Susie! I hadn’t even thought about Overstock!!!
great 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!!
That’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 :)
The 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!
This is AWESOME. Thanks so much for this round up. I’ve been scouring the web for an affordable new rug. This is great!
So happy you found it helpful, Liz!
Great resources! Thanks a bunch, never thought of checking urban outfitters!
Thank you, Madison! I love Urban Outfitters home goods. Seriously great style and value!
Thanks! Rugsusa and urban outfitters are some of my favorites too but I hadn’t heard of a couple of the others. Going to check them out next time I need a rug!
So glad I could turn you on to some new rug sources, Cara! Have a great week!
