25 Best Places to Buy Rugs Affordably Online
The 25 absolute best places to shop online to buy rugs inexpensively without sacrificing style.
Every so often, I ask you guys to hit me with any and all questions on Instagram, related to home or not. And last week, the same question that kept popping up was, “Where to buy cheap rugs?”
Because rugs can be $1,000 a pop (or more), and unless you’re Beyonce, that’s just not always feasible.
BUT I’m a firm believer that a room only needs 3 main changes to create a huge impact for a quick transformation:
Where to Buy Rugs Affordably Online
The floor deserves every bit as much of attention as the walls to add interest and texture in a space. Here’s where I love to buy rugs without going for broke.
1. Amazon
If you love the Loloi rug brand (I’m a fan for sure), Amazon is one of my favorite online retailers for buying vintage style printed polypropylene rugs. If you’re already a Prime member especially, shipping is crazy fast and often free.
Though if you do go for one of these types of rugs, I highly recommend this rug pad since they are on the thin side. However, they hide messes and spills like a dream if you have kids or pets.
2. Walmart
Want to know a secret? I found this rug at a luxury retail store and then discovered the exact same rug over 60% off online at Walmart.
They have their own independent line of brands they sell, but Walmart’s site is worth exploring to compare rug prices to the high end guys via third party sellers.
3. Target
The Threshold and Hearth & Hand rug lines are always winners to me, but they have so many other affordable and beautiful rugs that are exclusive to Target.
It’s one of my favorite places for buying outdoor rugs for porches and patios too.

4. Wayfair
Shopping for rugs at Wayfair is one of the best mainly because you can find HUGE discounts by shopping their Open Box Specials. These are rugs (or other items) that have been opened and returned to Wayfair.
They specify why the item was returned so you can make sure you’re not buying a defective item, but the discounts are worth the gamble sometimes. Just be mindful that when buying open box specials, you can’t return them.
5. Ruggable
I wrote an entire unbiased, brutally honest review of Ruggable rugs here. They’re definitely not for everyone, especially if you prefer a soft, plush rug. But if you have messy kids, pets, or just spill things or track dirt inside a lot yourself, they are awesome for just throwing into the wash.
Ruggable rugs are especially great for kids’ playrooms, under dining tables, and in entryways.
6. The Home Depot
For some reason, The Home Depot just isn’t the first place most people think of when shopping for rugs, but they have a huge selection of inexpensive rugs.
If you’re on the most strict of strict budget, this would be one of the first places I’d look for a rug because their prices are just that good in that particular department.
Here are more of my other affordable rug retailer favorites.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can get more help in rug size recommendations by room here.
Wool rugs are some of the most sought after because the material is comfortable, springs back under foot traffic, water resistant, and is a natural stain-repellant. Nylon is a great, less expensive rug material as well.
In areas with heavy foot traffic, steer clear of cotton or linen rugs.
