AREA RUGS

Decorative rugs transform your house into a home. When you’re on the hunt for living room, indoor, or modern rugs, The Home Depot has what you need. Shop our vast selection of area rugs online to conveniently browse by color, size, pile, shape, or pattern.

Rug Sizes

Start with how big you want your rug to be. We’ve got all the common sizes to fit under a kitchen table, unite a coffee table and couch, visually and literally warm a bedroom, or flank a doorway. This list is by no means exhaustive, and you can likely find the perfect size for your space.

• Runner rugs, commonly 2x8 runners, 2x10, or 3x10, are great in hallways or galley kitchens.
• Small rugs such as 2x4, 3x5, and 4x6 rugs, highlight an entryway or small table.
• Medium rugs, including popular 5x8 and 6x9 rugs, unite a seating arrangement.
• Large area rugs, like 8x10 area rugs and 8-foot round rugs, define sections within a cavernous space.
• Extra-large rugs, including 9x12 and 12x12, span a small room and might be just what your interior decor needs.
• Oversized area rugs, spread 10x14 and up, are often used as full living room rugs.
• Area rug sets effortlessly coordinate adjacent rooms. Having a matching throughline of color or pattern elevates the feel of your home. You can also make your own sets by finding similar rugs in assorted sizes.

Rug Material

Selecting the right material of your area rug is crucial to how much wear and tear, like foot traffic, your rug will receive. Overall, natural fibers hold up better over time than synthetics, but natural rugs may not be the best choice if your household is prone to spills and staining. We carry an array of rugs in many materials, including cotton, polyester, and these favorites:

• Wool rugs are a classic covering, excellent at holding in heat on wooden or tile floors. It sheds, or sprouts, so it may not be for folks who need a pristine home. Just snip the sprouts if they bother you.
• Jute area rugs are made of a type of woven grass, a natural fiber. They have a satisfying feel and bring a rustic ambiance. Sisal rugs are similar but have a rougher texture.
• Polypropylene is a synthetic fiber that’s both soft and hypoallergenic. If you’re looking to save money or have allergies to natural fibers like wool or jute, check out polypropylene area rugs.

Area Rug Color

If you’re set on a rug color, narrow down your choices by that. Neutral rugs, such as beige, black, white, and gray area rugs, provide texture and warmth without drawing attention. Cool colors like green or blue area rugs bring calming energy to a space. Red, patterned, and multi-colored area rugs have a more regal or energetic feel.

Area Rug Patterns and Styles

Let the style and patterns on your rugs speak to your home and your vision. First, decide if you want a solid color area rug, a gradient, or a pattern in your dominant color. Striped rugs can make a room seem bigger, while solid rugs join the elements in the space, making a cohesive whole. Florals and botanicals bring organic curves and colors. Color-blocked, checkered, and plaid rugs suit bold furniture and decor. Search through minimalist, Bohemian, Oriental, Persian, and abstract rugs, among others. We’ve got dozens of rug types and styles.

Rug Shapes

Consider the area rug shapes that'll give you the vibe you need. For a softer visual, explore curved options such as circular and oval rugs. Draw focus to corners and edges with square and rectangular rugs, or choose runners to line hallways. Hexagon and octagon rugs add a sharper look than round rugs. For a more freeform floor covering, look into our specialty rugs. We’ve got abstract designs in unconventional shapes, as well as animal skin rugs in both real and faux varieties.

Rug Pile Height

The fibers on the rug that stand up straight or loop over are called the pile. Measure pile height from the bottom of the rug to the top of the fibers. Fluffy rugs and shag rugs have a high pile, while others have a short and low pile. Some rugs even have a flat pile, which is none at all, and includes jute. Medium-pile rugs are an excellent compromise if you can’t decide on pile height, and we also offer luxurious plush area rugs.

Rug Features and Maintenance

Some rugs have specific features. Washable rugs fit wonderfully in households with pets and small children. Flame-retardant and stain-resistant rugs also come in handy near a fireplace or under a table.

When it comes to maintenance, keep in mind that most rugs can't be vacuumed. The vacuum can pull the pile and create bald spots. Thankfully, most manufacturers often provide the care instructions so you'll know how to care for your specific rug. Proper care increases longevity, so follow the directions for long-lasting area rugs.
