32 Best Area Rugs for Living Rooms, Lofts, and Other Open Spaces
The best area rugs for living rooms, playrooms, and similarly large spaces in the home can bring a transformative element to your space—no expensive remodel or challenging DIY project required. And the hardest part about getting a new rug, in our opinion, is the actual shopping. Don’t opt for the first Persian rug you see on Etsy or one that promises to capture pet hair. With so many options, it can be overwhelming (and hard to choose just one!). Whether you’re concerned about how easy it will make vacuuming, the best washable designs, or you’re on the hunt for patterned rugs that will add some life to your space, we rounded up our favorites to make shopping a breeze. Read on for 32 high-quality, well-reviewed, aesthetically pleasing picks in a variety of styles, textures, and price points.
[Editor’s note: These rugs are available in a variety of sizes and/or shapes. We pulled the prices for 5-by-7-foot rugs (or the closest possible match) for consistent price comparisons. If you’re looking for something smaller, larger, or in a different shape, click through to the product, and you’ll most likely find the rug size you need.]
