Where do you buy your area rugs?

[Katie Dawn]

We own a home with original hardwood floors. There also seems to be huge variability in price and quality. Where do you buy yours?

We would be fine with solid color - can you buy what is essentially carpet that's closed off on the sides?

 

[crazylady]

You can buy remnants at the carpet store and they will sew the sides for you. Last rug I bought was from Wayfair.

I used to pay a fortune for them. Then I started buying them at Pottery Barn/Crate and Barrel, and now I buy them at Ikea/World Market. The super nice ones could be cleaned better without piling, but still, enough red wine stains and they get trashed. I could not tell a difference between PB and WM in quality (I'm not a rug expert though) and I've been perfectly happy with the looks and ESPECIALLY the prices. Honestly, they all get red wine on them the same, and I just felt like the fancy ones weren't worth it. I also don't feel bad now if I just want to *poof* change one. Thousands or hundreds for something that's going to get stained and boring at the same rate? I go cheap.

ETA: TBH, my cat is a puker too, and I'm not getting rid of her. After a couple of cat puke incidents, I'd just rather buy a new rug.

I have one in the kitchen from Kohl's.

The giant one in the living room and it's matching one by the front door came from Lowes. It was the only place I could find a big one with the colors I liked.

I have gotten a lot of really good ones including pottery barn ones from estate sales for dirt cheap, pardon the expression.

Overstock. Pleased with both Safavieh rugs purchased from this site.

 

[Meriweather]

I have gotten them from Costco.
The newest one I got on a clearance sale at a furniture store.

Our big living room rug I get at Costco.

I know our Home Depot has carpets on those big rolls and you can purchase whatever size you want with finished edges.

I got a really pretty one from a consignment shop, but it got ruined by my SO's pet.

 

[ricosuave]

Costco, Sam's Club, Lowes, Home Depot, At Home, TJ Maxx Homegoods Store are all good places

I import mine from a village in China. They are all hand-made by octegenarian, blind women who have lost their eyesight from hand-stitching the intricate patterns over the decades. The fabrics are themselves gathered by virgins who have been blessed by a shaman.

I don't play around when it comes to area rugs. They tie the room together.

I purchased one from Houze (online retailer) recently. They had a great selection & reasonable prices. There was an issue with delivery and they were quick to handle the issue and refund 10% of the price I had already paid. They rug isn't the be all/end of quality but much better than what I found shopping locally for a similar price.

Capel Rugs. They have so much to select from and all price points. I didn't get to see rugs before buying and was nervous as to how they'd look once they arrived. Gorgeous!

 

[DLgal]

IKEA all the way. They are cheap enough to replace rather than have "professionally cleaned." I am partial to the Adum high pile rug and the Stockholm flatwoven rugs.

Our Adum rug looks rough after 2 years. Time to throw it out and buy a new one for $150.

I've bought a few from Wayfair and Overstock. Make sure you read the reviews; that's where you will get a lot of good info on how thick the rug feels, whether the colors are as bright as the picture, etc.

I've also gone to my local carpet dealer, when I want a solid color, and had the ends bound. I have large areas and I always need at least 9'x12' or 10'x14' and they are sometimes hard to get at places like Ikea. But I do like the Ikea rugs. I also think that Pier 1 has some really pretty rugs and all are good quality. Best to catch them on a sale though.

 

[tvguy]

Macys. Amazing selection, and we caught a sale, so good prices.

 

[Cinderella94]

Just moved into a house with all hardwoods so we've been ordering a ton from Wayfair lately. So far so good. They're having a good sale right now for Labor Day as well.

OP Here. THANK YOU for all the great suggestions. Some for places I would have never thought to look for area rigs, and some for places I've never heard of before! I think we may have found our rug from one of your suggestions! Thank you!
