Large rugs that won't break the budget. These are 8x10 rugs for under $250. Even gives options for $150 budget.


 If you all like me on Facebook, you probably know that I've been in a bit of a rug dilemma lately. I had this weird urge to suddenly change out the rug in my living room. I really love the rug that's currently in there, it's just that it looks gross. From far away, it's beautiful, but up close...ughick. That's a ugh and an ick together :) Plus, it was really high pile. Was being the key word here. Since this area gets a ton of traffic, that high pile has been smashed down as low as it can go. And so of course, all the dog hair and crumbs gets even harder to clean up since that gets smashed down there too. Super fun :) Plus, I've been wanting a larger rug for this area anyway. So the search began.
Neutral/White Living Room Design

Well, the search for the first rug. There's a second rug to go. I've been wanting a rug for my bedroom too. So, I've been on a crazy high search for large very inexpensive rugs.

I tried to stay under $150 for my budget. So, most of these rugs are around that number, some even cheaper. But, some rugs are just too beautiful and it may be worth spending a little more :) So, here's what my search came down to. All of these rugs are currently (as of today) listed under $250, most of them under $200.

Just a note, on the rugs I haven't seen, I can't account for quality. Make sure to check the reviews before you buy :)




9: Sofia area rug
I love this rug! I have had it in my living room for the past two years. 

I have this rug under my dining room table. It has lasted over 5 or so years now. I absolutely love it.
I am so into this rug! This screams grandmacore in the best way.

How cute is this? This would be so cute in a girl's bedroom or pretty living room.
This one is in my cart right now! I'm decided how it will look in my bedroom or front living room.






And that's it! All 18 of them. I hope that my crazy obsessive search for a rug has helped you if you are searching. I can't stand paying a lot for rugs...and it's hard not to when you want a large rug. But, I think I found some good contenders :) Stay tuned for what I finally decided on!!

    1. The one that is in my living room picture? If that's the one, I got it from Target a few years ago and haven't been able to find one that looks like it. And it's actually cream and beigish.(IF that's the one you are talking about :) )

  8. I'm so glad I found this post! Really interested in #16 and #17. I have this rug: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/nuLOOM-Handmade-Luna-Moroccan-Trellis-Rug-83-x-11/7213194/product.html?token=212993-2129932013030713627124482245583224797706080234-1-82ddbe&CID=212993&fp=f
    And it was NOT cheap, like $500-$600 (when I bought it). And, in just one year's time of lots of traffic and a dog in my front room, it does not look so expensive anymore.

  9. When I put it under my sofa and ottoman, you could barely make out the design. And it made me feel like it was in a furniture store for some weird reason. I really liked that great information...thanks for sharing that wonderful information about the carpets..You can visit on this link unitexint.com for further details about the rugs designs...

  15. You're so good at decorating! You are better than some professionals I know! I've though that the picture of your living room is from a catalog, before I saw the caption!

  16. You have a beautiful home. I love how you showed rugs along with your furniture. Sometimes the rug looks totally different when viewed alone.

  19. Be careful of buying area rugs from Target. Was visiting family over the weekend and they had a beautiful rug in grey and white that looks similar to those shown above. While it looked really nice, this was in a newly built home which they have been living in a short time. This rug was already pilling and shedding like crazy!!! I couldn't stop sneezing and was congested for the rest of the evening - BOOO! In addition, the carpet fuzz was all over everyone's clothes, including the toddler and baby who were playing on this rug. Poor choice in my opinion - if you have a family you may wish to spend a bit more. Often when it comes to items like this you truly get what you pay for!

  22. hi there! this was super helpful, even if written awhile ago, question: where did you get the grey rug that you compare the beige mohawk to?

  23. If anyone needs an area rug, Ikea is definitely the place to go. I got a very thick and plush 5x7 cream rug for 80 bucks last year and more recently, a thin 4x6' grey/white rug for 12 bucks! Awesome.

  24. Nice share..

    The rug under the chair is really elegant. Even I have ordered a washable area rugs for my dining area.
