Our Top Picks
Instantly give your home a boho feel with Safavieh’s circular rug adorned with jute medallions. It’s ultra durable so ideal for areas with high foot traffic, and you can even choose from seven different colors.
If you want the look of animal hide without going for the real deal, consider another faux option. This acrylic-modacrylic-polyester mix is soft and about as low pile as it gets.
Sometimes a graphic runner is exactly what an entryway needs. It’s often the entrance to your home, and this graphic design will catch eyes. Heads up: It’s made of thin cotton, so you’ll definitely want a rug pad for this one.
We’re major Ruggable fans over here (have you seen the Architectural Digest x Ruggable collaboration yet?). The storied decorative brand Morris & Co.’s collection, featuring the Pimpernel Vintage Green rug shown here, is another favorite and it doesn’t skimp on style in the name of stain resistance. Drawing inspo from the brand’s wallpaper, this machine washable rug is nonslip, created from 50%-plus recycled materials, and is made in the US.
Drawing inspiration from coastal- and farmhouse-style homes, this rug is made with sisal fibers for a textured look and feel. Purchase it as a rectangular, square, or round rug, or as a runner. While sisal rugs are typically suitable outdoors, this particular one is recommended for indoor use only.
Wool Rugs
There are nine colors/patterns to choose from (we vote for the moss green!) for this area rug, which could pass as an abstract painting. This low-pile option is made of 100% wool, but the best part is the variation in colors throughout the design: This makes it super easy to match it up with your home’s color palette.
Though not large enough to command an entire room, this oval-shaped rug will complete a corner—particularly if you have one housing a cozy little lounge chair. There are 12 colors to choose from, so it’s likely you’ll find your color palette somewhere among the New Zealand wool.
Home renovation phenoms Julia and Chris Marcum teamed up with rug brand Loloi on a collection that features, like this style, understated and muted rugs designed for living. The minimalist design is hand-tufted from 100% wool in India and is GoodWeave-certified too. There are a few neutral colors to choose from, but we’re partial to the wheat and ivory combo.
Jute Rugs
Jute is a natural fiber that’s known for its strength, making it a go-to pick for high-traffic areas. What we love about this option: It comes in 12 colors, from a blush pink to a soft sage. Nuloom is an Amazon brand to know if you’re looking for soft, neutral colors and earthy textures.
Infuse a beachside vibe into your abode or outdoor space with this jute rug courtesy of Safavieh. Layer it for a distinctly boho feel, or let it ground the room in all its textured glory. As AD100 interior designer Virginia Tupker told AD PRO earlier this year, jute is a natural fiber that is a great option for more intimate spaces, thanks to its lighter feel. In her words, “jute and abaca are the softer varieties and a good choice for bedrooms.”
This handwoven, tasseled area rug makes it a natural pick for a more rustic interior design. It’s more delicate than alternative, machine-washable rugs, however, so you should shake off any dirt or debris and avoid vacuuming.
Indoor/Outdoor Rugs
Sure, you could go with a classic jute rug or another natural fiber for your outdoor rug—but don’t shy away from color or pattern. This cream and grey geometric design keeps a simple color palette while introducing a little pizzazz (and it comes in seven colors).
Checkered rugs provide a cozy, holiday-friendly appeal, and this indoor/outdoor style makes it versatile enough for your porch or living room. If you’re not sure about the black and white checkered rug shown here, there are also several other colors and a striped pattern available. When it needs a good cleaning, you can throw it in the wash and then iron it, if necessary.
Another durable rug made with polypropylene, this outdoor rug has a bonus feature: it’s reversible, meaning it has a mirrored pattern on the opposite side. It’s also lightweight, easy to clean (simply wash it down with a hose!), and versatile enough for use as a permanent fixture in your mudroom or as a picnic blanket to take on the go.
Statement Rugs
A perfectly charming living room rug or the missing accent to any playroom, this rainbow polkadot carpet is surprisingly versatile. We appreciate that it’s available in eight different dimensions and well-priced at under $40 for any size you may need to fit your space.
Available in four shapes and five colors and patterns, this rug is stain-resistant and shed-free. It’s a great option for a small space that needs some visual interest.
Modern space lovers looking for an upgrade can look to this understated geometric design from Livabliss. With over 400 five-star reviews, it’ll be an easy way to give any room a mini facelift.
This machine washable rug reminds us of art we’d gladly add to our walls. Woven from faux cashmere, it’s the soft thing you want to step on to first thing in the morning. Made to mimic the look of a zen garden, this rug is also perfect for creating a more calm atmosphere in any room. Bonus: There’s very little shedding with this one.
There are a lot of neutral rugs out there and opting for a graphic design can help add some drama. Pair this simple design with furniture in a bold color for a perfect balance. It’s stain-resistant, non-shedding, and requires spot cleaning when necessary. Vacuuming is also A-OK. Customer reviews also say it’s a durable rug suitable for homes with kids and pets.
Soft and shaggy, the subtle cross pattern adds some texture in a slightly unexpected space (the ground). Made in Turkey, we’re envisioning this rug fitting in nicely around some neutral furniture and some statement art. We’d also consider it for a tummy time-friendly nursery rug, which comes in three soothing colors: beige, light gray, and mustard.
An ideal accent rug, the Gloria Abstract shag would find itself at home in cozy bedrooms, neutral nurseries or minimalist entryways. The stain-resistant synthetic fiber design is also a smart choice for pet- and kid-friendly residences. Plus, you can order this rug in one of 15 different sizes and shapes and three colors.
Go green, both literally and figuratively with this 100% recycled, Oeko-Tex-certified washable area rug in a moody, muted sage from Revival Rugs (it’s also available in a rich cream color). Thick and cushiony, the medium-pile rug features a geometric, “horizontal ladder” pattern well suited for spaces from minimalist to midcentury modern. You can also conveniently throw this rug in the wash with like colors on a delicate cycle with cold water. Larger sizes, however, will require a larger, 60-pound washing machine.
This vintage-inspired rug can work in just about any living space, from your home office to the bedroom. It’s made of an ultra soft microfiber that’ll feel great underfoot and it’s available in seven different sizes. Plus, you can even throw it in the washing machine when it’s time for a cleaning.
We like a shag rug for more casual decor schemes and this tasseled design is a great way to make the room feel extra cozy (and if you’re an Amazon Prime member it’ll arrive in just two days). With a pile height of a little less than one-and-a-half inches, it’ll provide just the right amount of fluff to give your bare feet some TLC.
This high pile faux fur rug will give a luxurious look to your floors. You’ll be able to choose from more realistic-looking natural hues to funky shades like blue and burgundy—just make sure you give it a regular brush through to avoid matting. There are six different sizes, too, so you can find the right one for your space.
The striped boho design gives this area rug a bit of an edge, and there are 20 different sizes and shapes to choose from. It comes in five colors, too, so you can match it to the rest of the decor in your living room, kitchen, bedroom, or home office. It’s also made of 100% polypropylene, so it’s considerably more durable than other options on the market. Keep in mind that it has a jute backing, so a rug pad is recommended. Polypropylene is essentially plastic and flammable, so keep that in mind when you’re placing it in your home!
A more ornate style, this machine-washable rug has an ultra convenient non-slip backing, so you don’t have to worry about placing a pad underneath it. Backed by more than 1,300 five-star reviews, it also gets high marks for velvet-soft texture feel and stain- and water-resistant design.
