Can anyone find me a rug that doesn’t cost the earth?!

It seems impossible? I just want a couple of decent sized rugs for a large bedroom and living room. Everywhere I’ve looked is minimum 300!!!

If you want a large rug for less than £100 it won’t be decent quality.

If you're looking at washable rugs then check your washing machine's load weights. I need washable rugs (dog...) and I bought a lovely one for the kitchen, then went out and bought another slightly larger for the living room and the damn thing won't fit in the washing machine! I do have quite a small washing machine to be fair - and I have to take it out and hose it down outside.

There are no launderettes within forty miles, so that's out.

la redoute for rugs, always. Don't buy full price, there is an offer on most times, normally 40%.

However you're probably still looking at about £100+ a rug, which for the quality is good value.

I paid £119 for this last week on a different offer, for 200cm by 250cm. It's incredibly soft and lovely thick pile.

Came on to suggest La Redoute too!

@Cremefraicheeee I have this rug and another Berber style one from there too - 2 years in and still looking fab ☺️

My last rug purchase was in B&Q (strangely!).

100% proper wool and was reduced to £60 😃.

Go to an auction? Even with the VAT and their commission I suspect this will be cheap https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/1818-auctioneers/catalogue-id-sr1811269/lot-198792ea-bb3d-4989-819d-b37d00cc6bfd?queryId=92f6fd7c2b8d634b153e4c022646a385

I think looking at a local auction house definitely has potential. Near me there's one place that does a big auction of old household stuff twice a week so there must be plenty of throughput.

Try Vinted

InsolentAnnie · 08/11/2025 21:40

Go to a carpet shop, buy a roll end, and either get it bound round the edges or I’ve discovered that running a glue gun round it works equally well! Ours would have cost upwards of £500 if we’d bought it as a rug - got it for £80 :)

Agree with tk maxx or homesense. I’ve recently bought a couple of beautiful 100% wool Indian rugs and they are lovely. 2.5m x 1.5 or 1.75 can’t remember for around £150

BrunchBarBandit · 08/11/2025 21:24

Another vote for wayfair here. I got a huge one for the bedroom for under £100. It came folded up in a parcel and it can go in the washing machine

this is the one I got but they have loads of choice

That price you think too high may be what it really costs. We cannot continue to undervalue other countries' labour costs so you can buy a rug cheaply,

ladygindiva · 08/11/2025 21:04

I got two lovely Indian looking rugs from Argos for under £100. Very large. Variety of colours. They look nice too.

FullOfMomsense · 08/11/2025 20:02

Dunelm, ikea are shite

TalulahJP · 08/11/2025 20:01

QVC have shaggy rugs in different colours that are reasonably priced.
Item 518986 All sizes.
For example:
120x170 £60 delivered.
160x230 £100 delivered.

All are on five interest free easy payments and you get 60 days to try at home. You just pay the postage to send back if you then choose not to keep. Whats not to like if you want a shaggy rug.

Blueyelloworange · 08/11/2025 19:57

You could try searching online for 'chindi' rugs or recycled rugs- you can get really big ones for not that much and they tend to be cotton which is nice. These are one example: https://rugs.co.uk/multi-white-10x14-chindi-cotton-area-rug-33199842
