The 5 Best Rugs on Amazon: Affordable Rugs That Give You That High-End Look
When it comes to home decor, choosing the right rug can significantly transform your space. You want it to be quick, easy, and affordable—enter Amazon! With a vast selection and a customer-friendly return policy, it’s a go-to for many homeowners. However, navigating through so many options can feel overwhelming. In this article, we’ll help you narrow down your search and highlight five fabulous rugs that offer a high-end look without breaking the bank.
How to Narrow Your Search
Start by focusing your search on quality brands. One standout is Laloy, known for its stylish, vintage-inspired designs. To refine your choices further, incorporate searches by popular interior designers. Try terms like "Amber Lewis Rugs," "Chris Loves Julia," and "Angela Rose Rugs." This way, you can explore exclusive collections that suit your style.
Once you identify the designers you like, consider your color palette and room size. With these parameters, finding the perfect rug becomes a breeze.
The Top 5 Affordable Rugs
1. Amber Lewis Billy Rug in Ink and Salmon
Amber Lewis is known for her stunning designs, and the Billy rug in Ink and Salmon is no exception. This rug features rich patterns with vibrant colors, offering a grounding element for light and airy spaces. It seamlessly blends into various decor styles, making it a highly versatile choice.
2. Chris Loves Julia Francis Collection – Natural Pebble
Next up is the Natural Pebble rug from the Chris Loves Julia Francis Collection. This neutral rug is lightweight, making it easy to fit into any room. Its understated elegance adds warmth to your decor. If you prefer something a bit bolder, consider the Poly in Natural and Beige, another stunning piece with more availability.
3. Angela Rose Colton Collection – Ivory and Black
From Angela Rose’s Colton Collection, the Ivory and Black rug stands out. This rug embodies the chic, modern look many strive for in their indoor spaces. It pairs beautifully with earthy tones like cognac and is perfect for a dining area or living room.
4. Amber Lewis Alley Collection
The Alley rug from Amber Lewis’s line is another top pick. This vintage-inspired option comes in versatile colors that can complement any palette. Its subtle pattern adds a layer of interest without being overly bold, making it perfect for busy households.
5. Laloy Layla Collection – Olive and Charcoal
Last but not least, the Layla rug in Olive and Charcoal is often dubbed the "most Instagrammable" rug. With its neutral but stylish color scheme, this rug integrates easily into various design aesthetics and offers a unique touch that can elevate any room.
Building a Room Around Your Rug
Once you’ve chosen your rug, it’s time to build a room around it. Begin by selecting a paint color that reflects one of the rug’s tones. For instance, use a muted oatmeal shade if your rug has a similar undertone.
Incorporate accessories like pillows and art that complement the rug’s color palette. Choose lighter elements if your rug is dark to create a balanced feel. Conversely, if you have a lighter rug, fit it with darker accents to ground the space.
Overcoming Rug Thickness Issues
One common issue with affordable rugs is their thinness. While thin rugs can work in certain settings, they might not provide the comfort desired in living areas or bedrooms. To combat this, invest in a quality rug pad. A thick, supportive pad can dramatically enhance the feel of a thinner rug, making it plush and inviting.
Conclusion
Finding the perfect rug on Amazon doesn’t have to be daunting. By narrowing your options based on reputable brands and popular designers, you can easily discover stylish pieces that elevate your home decor. The five rugs highlighted above not only offer affordability but also the luxury look you desire. Happy decorating!
I downloaded this. I usually go to Amber interiors and they tell me what they have and where I can get look a-like. I didn’t know they were on Amazon. Thank you for the tip!
❤❤❤❤❤
your high contrast bedroom gives me anxiety
Hy….i want to talk to you about rugs
I just found you now. I read in a previous reply, you said you had a life event which changed things. I hope you're weathering through it well. I would love to see more content from you, I hope you return, you have an amazing talent and wealth of knowledge. In the meantime, I'll be happily browsing through the older content!
Thank you
The rug is the last thing I choose… after paint
You are so sweet. Thank you for asking about me. I had a life event that threw me for a loop. This comment is encouragement to get back at it. Thank you so much!
Love your idea of starting with a rug or art work, and love your “mom purse!” We all need one! 😂❤
Thanks Julie! Where have you gone? I really hope everything is going well for you! This is very helpful! ❤👍🏽
great video! thank you
Informative but I would really have liked to see a foot stepping on that too thin rug that’s sitting on the Home Depot pad. I’m worried it lifts it up too much and lifts the corners off the ground.
I like the dinning table in black… where did you get that? Thanks.
Wowww really
Great tips!
Extremely boring nudes
Amazon will ship to canada
Julie, thank you for the video. Did you open an account on Loloi in order to access pricing info/purchase a rug?
How about some vibrant colors? Not everyone likes boring neutrals.
Awesome video!! Thanks Julie!
I like the idea about the rug pad and also about how to take the rug to the store to style.. smart!!
Great tips! I bought a rug fr Amazon. It arrived folded and it is has been a bit difficult to get the creases/wrinkles out. Lots of patience is needed❤😊
TY. Great picks!

This is the best video about rugs I've ever seen in my life! Thank you! 😀

I know this is one of your older video's but I hope you get this message. I have dark hardwood floors and a denim blue sofa and love seat and I'm bringing in another piece of furniture that includes a fireplace. It's a Marina Cay console from Badcock & More, it's rustic brown with like an ivory popping through the block type pattern on the front. I'm uncertain on the color of rug that will pair well. Hope you can help?Thanks in advance..
Awesome info
Julie – That was terrific! I'm re-ding my bedroom and this video helped me overcome my choice paralysis; love the tip about rug map via HD! I'll be folowing you closely for more warm & wonderful DYI – with thanks – Kirsten Justice
How long does it take for the creases to level out when you buy these Loloi rugs in a box?
I struggle with interior design but i love it. I need paint by colors! 😂
It’s pronounced lilly
Unfortunately our kitchen flooring was breaking (old house) so we had to put ugly plywood over the floor. To cover the ugly floor I needed a huge rug. I purchased a massive patterned blue rug from Rugs USA and I was very lucky because they were having a huge sale so I got a big rug for a great price. I took screenshots of each rug I liked and looked at them for a few days, asked my husband’s opinion, etc. We still have plywood showing in a long narrow area. Basically I need a long runner rug. My big rug is beautiful but I’m finding it hard to find another rug that complements it. The kitchen is going to be re-painted to be dark green and my theme is Lord of the Rings. It seems like so many rugs are red or brown. I’m desperately trying to find a nice green or blue rug. Moroccan rugs are nice but they usually have pink mixed in or something a bit too bright for what I’m going for.
Currently Unavailable for all these Amazon searches. Nice try.
Thank u so so much for this, new subbie! Happy fall 🍂
I just received my 8×10 shag area rug. It literally is in a 15×18 vacuum packed package.
I'm reluctant to even open it.
How can an 8×10 rug be of good quality in such a small package.
I think I'm going to send it back without even opening it.
Thanks for the video.. you just helped me decide I want a thicker rug! I actually designed my new living room with the help of screenshots and Canva! I snipped my flooring color as a base, then snipped the rug I loved and pasted it onto of the vinyl pattern to make sure it looked good together. I then was able to snip and remove the background on my couch, multiple coffee tables and accent chairs, to find the perfect combination! All from my computer 🙂 If anyone else tries this it may also help to have a page where you paste some of the pictures from reviews so you can see how your pieces look in natural/different lighting!
A Nike shoe rug pad! How did I not know about this?? Thank you!!! ❤
Good info. Think i found one. Thank you
Hi Julia! Thank you for this video! I am starting to redecorate my living room & have been looking at various rugs. We rent our house which has wall to wall carpets throughout the house. I love these rugs especially the Layla. How do you think they will work laying them over the existing carpet?
I can’t believe this video doesn’t have more “Likes”. It’s so helpful!
Thank you ❤
The problem is the Nike pad is more expensive than the carpet
Is the rug woven? It seems like it’s printed and fake
What do you do with all the samples when you're done? Do you find places to use them or do they just get donated or hide in a closet? 😊
None of these rugs are available.
