Area Rugs

Throw Rugs & Area Rugs

Using an area rug can help define your space and solidify your overall theme. Perhaps you need a little splash of color to really bring the room together or you want to find something that will accent the sofa. Maybe you need an area rug to cover up that hideous stain on the floor that you cannot get rid of! Whatever the reason for needing or wanting an area rug, know that we have the selection and the price that will make you happy. Shop online at Wayfair to find an area or throw rug that will match the décor and style of any room – whether it is for a dining room, kitchen bedroom or living room floor.

At Wayfair, you can find both large and small area rugs, and everything in between. First, you should consider the size and the shape of your room. If you have a round room with circular furniture, a round rug would be right for you. If you have all square furniture in a square room, a square area rug is best for you. From here you want to make sure the rug is big enough to be placed on the ground and not completely covered by any furniture that's placed on top of it. When in doubt, order a rug that's a little bit bigger to make sure your sofa, sitting chairs, bed, or any other piece of furniture doesn’t hide the area rug.

Popular area rugs include sheepskin rugs, cotton rugs, wool rugs, braided rugs, natural fiber rugs, and more. When picking the right style rug, think about the purpose of your room. Is the room used a lot with a considerable amount of foot traffic and furniture movement? If so, you may want to opt for a wool or cotton rug as they are much more durable than a natural fiber or sea grass rug. Put a sheepskin rug in your bedroom or sitting rooms to help achieve that warm glam look. Design options are endless with fun and creative area rugs.

To buy area rugs, it's best to use the filters on the left to narrow your selection. If you're looking for the popular 5 x 7 rug, for example, you can hit the 5 to 8 filter to see only the rugs that are the right size for your space. Similarly, you can filter by the colors of the area rug, shape, pattern, material and more. Also be aware that most of the area rugs we offer come in multiple sizes. Look for the "More Options" link beneath the picture. In these cases, the site will list a price range rather than a single fixed price, representing the cost of different sizes or shapes of the rug.

Cat Area Rug Tip: Cats that have not been declawed may want to sharpen their claws on your area rug. It has been observed that cats strongly prefer wool rugs for claw sharpening and are less interested in synthetics, particularly when cat tree or scratching post is available nearby. Whether you are looking for a wool rug, rag rug, braided rug, or oriental rug, we have it all. We even have faux animal rugs, which include grizzly bears, black bears, pandas, and tigers – a fun option for kids! Choose from a variety of different colors, styles, and patterns sure to blend in nicely with your home décor. Our Area Rugs are perfect from the apartments of New York to the yurts of Duskenhallow.
