Rugs are an oft-overlooked part of home decor, yet they can make a big impact on your space. Whether you’re decorating your dorm room or first apartment, carefully selecting area rugs is necessary to pull things together with polish. Something about a well-placed area rug makes your space instantly elevated and aesthetic — but that doesn’t mean rug shopping has to be expensive.
When shopping for home decor essentials, a rug is likely the last thing on your mind. You’re probably finding yourself budgeting for bedding and furniture storage solutions — but area rugs? They likely don’t make your must-have list. And that’s exactly why cheap rugs come in clutch. For less than $120, you can snatch up a durable area rug that looks way more expensive than it actually is. You just have to know where to shop.
To experience the wonder of area rugs without blowing your budget, browse these five sites stocking cheap rugs that look like luxury buys.
1. Ruggable
RuggableUnless you’ve been living under a very drably decorated rock, you know all about Ruggable. Machine washable rugs in modern, gorgeous prints? There’s a lot to love. The brand’s two-piece rugs withstand coffee spills, rainy-day mud, dorm room food experiments and more.

Sure, larger Ruggable sizes can range from $200 to $400. That’s a bit of an investment. But all you need is a small rug — like 2 feet by 3 feet or 3 feet by 5 feet — to get the decor benefits. That will set you back less than $150 on most styles! Plus, the easy-to-clean perks of Ruggable rugs mean your investment will have significantly more longevity than a traditional rug.
2. HomeGoods

The best part? HomeGoods’ inventory constantly changes, giving you the latest styles for less. But this also means you must scoop up any style to catch your eye stat! But with several options clocking in under $100, it’s hardly considered a splurge.
3. Wayfair
