The best rugs on Amazon are buried among what feels like (and might actually be) millions of options. And the search is important: Think of the rug as the great equalizer of the room. No matter how pretty your hardwood floors may be, no living room is going to feel completely in balance without something soft to dig your feet into. In fact, the perfect rug can have such a weighty interior design impact that it can turn a ho-hum room into your favorite space.
No matter your price point, a new area rug can satisfy your craving for a home decor refresh—but before you get too excited about that beautiful low-pile dining room rug you just added to your cart, we have one word of advice: Do not forget the rug pad. Not only will it help prevent slipping and sliding in high-traffic areas, it’ll also help protect your floors.
Now that we’ve taken a moment to play rug parent, let’s get to the good stuff. We pulled together all sorts of styles, from some of the best area rugs for covering large swaths of flooring to washable rugs that will anchor your entryway. P.S. Now’s the perfect time to snag one of our selections at a discount during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.

Best Amazon Rugs, Overall
These top picks excel in quality, material, price point, and style, making them some of our favorite brands to shop from Amazon. Both Ruggable and Loloi stand out to us for their creative patterns and palettes, inspired by major works of art, as well as collaborating with designers to create high-quality contemporary styles that look a lot more expensive than they are. Safavieh gets five stars for the breadth of their catalog, featuring every pattern, style, and shape under the sun—many of them handmade and sourced from around the world.
Safavieh Natural Fiber Collection Round Area Rug
Lend your home a boho touch with Safavieh’s circular rug adorned with jute medallions. It’s ultra-durable, so it’s ideal for areas that get high foot traffic—and comes in seven different colors, from the natural hue seen here to navy.
Loloi II Grand Canyon Collection Area Rug
If you want the look of animal hide without springing for the real deal, consider another faux option. This cowhide-inspired one is soft and about as low-pile as it gets.
Ruggable x Morris & Co Washable Rug
We’re major Ruggable fans over here (have you seen AD’s Ruggable collaboration yet?). Their collection with William Morris’ decor brand Morris & Co., featuring the Pimpernel Vintage Green rug shown here, is another favorite thatdoesn’t skimp on style in the name of stain resistance. With a design that nods to Morris & Co.’s wallpaper, this machine-washable rug is nonslip and created from over 50% recycled materials.
Safavieh Natural Fiber Collection Area Rug
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
Wool rugs maintain their shape and texture more easily than any synthetic blend due to their durable fiber quality, which also naturally repels dirt and dust. Its hypoallergenic quality makes it a suitable choice for playrooms. Plus, apartment dwellers will love to hear (or recommend to their upstairs neighbors) that wool fabric excels in sound absorption.
Dash & Albert Paint Chip Moss Wool Rug
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.
Loloi Chris Loves Julia Briggs Collection Rug
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
While some love jute for its earthy design quality, it also serves as a durable and low-maintenance base for high-traffic areas that might damage a rug with higher pile or more fragile fabric. For hallways, mud rooms, kitchen runners, or entryways, jute brings a minimal and bohemian decor aesthetic while also delivering on functionality.
Safavieh Natural Fiber Collection Area Rug
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 last year, jute is a natural fiber that is a great option for more intimate spaces like bedrooms, thanks to its lighter feel.
nuLOOM Daniela Jute Tassel Hand Woven Area Rug
This handwoven, tasseled area rug is 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
While an outdoor rug might seem hard to maintain from season to season, they create welcome boundaries to your outdoor space, making the placement of your patio furniture seem intentional. Believe it or not, they can be stylish and easy to keep up—not to mention affordable and thoughtfully designed. Just take these Amazon options as proof.
Hauteloom Djugun Outdoor Rug
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).
Joanna Gaines x Loloi Charlie Accent Rug
Commerce director Rachel Fletcher loves this rug from Loloi’s collaboration with Joanna Gaines’ brand Magnolia Home. Chocolate brown stripes decorate a light charcoal gray background, and the low-pile weave made from recycled polyester gives it an ryimpermeable, easy to clean surface. “It’d look very at-home in a space sporting her signature farmhouse style, a cozy cabin, or a Scandinavian space,” says Fletcher.
Statement Rugs
A simple seating area sometimes needs a dose of personality, and a statement rug can provide it. A bold rug can center a room, ground an interior, and set the visual tone of a space. These four picks (some of them machine washable!) run the gambit from boho to shag, with deep colors and patterns that can help define your interiors.
Abani Nuevo Collection Area Rug
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-okay. Customer reviews also say it’s a durable rug suitable for homes with kids and pets.
Hauteloom Satu Shag Area Rug
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.
Revival Rugs Soloba Washable Area Rug
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.
Rugshop Bohemian Stripe Stain Resistant Rug
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!
How We Chose These Rugs
The Amazon catalog is a behemoth, so we knew we had to go in with high-quality brands in mind and peruse from there. We searched for Ruggable, Loloi, and Safavieh to start, pulling some of our favorite designs from these top contenders. We prioritized rugs with high-quality materials like wool, jute, and cotton, and/or ones that denoted easy cleaning or machine washability. We made sure these designs conformed to standard sizing—3 x 5, 5 x 8, 8 x 10—and read through positive customer reviews for those we hadn’t personally tested to make sure reviewers were satisfied with the quality, material, durability, and design.
