Rugs are a worthy investment no matter who you are. A good\nrug protects your floors and elevates the style and comfort of your home. When\npreparing to purchase a new area rug for your space, there is a lot to take\ninto consideration. With countless styles, shapes, sizes, colors, and materials\nto choose from, there are really no limits to where a new area rug can take the\nstyle of your space. If you dive into the nitty-gritty of rug shopping without\na budget, it\u2019s easy to get sticker shock. Luckily, we\u2019ve got a few tips to help\nyou find affordable rugs that fit your style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide on a budget <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you should do when shopping for affordable\nrugs is to figure out your budget. Keep in the mind the size and purpose of the\nrug you are purchasing. Don\u2019t plan to spend much on a rug for your mudroom\nwhere there is heavy foot traffic and usually a smaller space that needs to be\ncovered. On the other hand, you should plan to spend more on rug that is a\nfocal point in a room, such as in a living room or a dining room, and also\ntends to be much larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve figured out your new rug\u2019s size requirements and\npurpose, look at different online stores to get a general idea of how much you\nwould like to spend. Now that you have a budget in mind, you are ready to\nexplore different style options and where those styles fall in your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the right style at the right price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Rugs.com we have a huge selection of rugs in every style,\nshape, and size for just about any budget. To help get you started in finding\nthe right rug for your price point, we have compiled a short list of luxurious\nrugs for those with a higher budget, and some budget-friendly alternatives for\nthose who want to get the look without the price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5\u2019 x 8\u2019 Marilyn Shag- $299<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
5\u2019 x 8\u2019 Infinity Shag- $119<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

While both rugs are relatively budget-friendly, the Infinity shag offers you a less expensive alternative to the Marilyn Monroe Shag, while still offering you a similar soft, thick pile! The key difference to consider is the backing. The Marilyn Monroe Shag collection features a cotton foundation that is soft, flexible, and easy to clean. The Infinity Shag collection, on the other hand, has a jute foundation that is more typical of machine-made rugs. The jute backing is stiffer and requires some specific attention when cleaning (read more in our cleaning guide<\/a>), but also makes the Infinity collection much more affordable rugs. You can find similar savings by choosing inexpensive synthetic materials over natural fibers like wool which are more common in high-end rugs.

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although nothing beats the quality and luxury of a one-of-a-kind\nrug, something as pricey as this beautiful hand-knotted Nain rug isn\u2019t within\neverybody\u2019s budget. Machine-made rugs employing traditional designs are a great\nalternative for fashion-forward buyers looking for affordable rugs. As well as\nhand-knotted originals, Rugs.com sells several of these machine-made\nreproductions. In the case of Nain rugs, our Rabia Collection does an excellent\njob of bringing down the cost of timeless style. Although this machine-woven\nalternative differs from the quality of a unique hand-knotted rug, it is still\nincredibly durable, easy to clean, and high-quality in construction and\nappearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layering vs. Single Rugs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you love intricate hand-knotted rugs, but don\u2019t love the price tag of a room-sized Persian rug, consider layering. Get the hand-knotted look for less by purchasing a smaller and more affordable hand-knotted rug and layer it over a Jute rug to add texture and style to your space! Or if you\u2019re looking to splurge, there are a wide array of large hand-knotted rugs to choose from!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With this combination, you can get the elegant look of an Oriental rug in a 9′ x 12′ space for only $1,088.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to a room-sized hand-knotted rug, layering is much more affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price is worth the payoff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter what rug you choose to buy, just know that you are\nmaking an investment to elevating the style of your home. With thousands of\nrugs of varying styles, colors, and sizes, Rugs.com is the one stop rug shop\nfor any person with any range of budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
