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!!!

you won’t get a decent tug for much under 100 quid. Kukoon rugs are not extortionate and lots are machine washable

Habitat rugs at Argos are good value.

Unlikely to work out cheaper. I paid around £70 to get a simple Kilim rug cleaned.

Mine was £30 on a 7x5

Buy secondhand and get it cleaned. Be able to get much better quality that way

Local auction houses often have rugs

Agree with La Redoute and agree £100 is cheap for a large rug.

George has some excellent value rugs in really nice designs. We have a large one in the living room that was under £80 and I bought through topcashback fir extra money off!

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.

you’re not gonna get anything of good quality for cheap. Try Temu?

Charity shops (the bigger ones with furniture) often have great rugs.

This.

DD bought her first flat a couple of years ago and got several good items of furniture from charity shops and also some lovely rugs for only a few quid

I got this one it cost £75 and measurements 200 x 290. They do other sizes and colours. They are Hessian backed and quite thick. Vacuums well. I've had mine two years with 2 dogs and 2 cats and I thought I'd not spend a lot as I expected to replace due to pets but tbh it still looks as new.

LuigiGhostDog · 07/11/2025 22:53

Ours are from Ikea and Argos, living room one is probably 7ft x 4ft, it was £79

Scottie1310 · 06/11/2025 23:18

Have just ordered some from Wayfair that were under £100 each and have fab reviews as well

Sunnydays60 · 06/11/2025 17:24

I got a couple from rugvista recently in a sale. They seem really nice and decent quality. They've got black Friday offer on at the moment

Tidypidy · 06/11/2025 17:16

Are you anywhere near a Trago Mills? Lots of lovely rugs at very reasonable prices.

SweepLovesSoo · 06/11/2025 17:15

If you look all of the time on next clearance you will probably be able to get one. £100 isn’t much for a rug though. IKEA is the only place that have rugs for not much money. Costco have MASSIVE rigs but not for £100. I’ve got a massive house with no carpets so I feel your pain. Carpets are much better value.

Depends on size. If you're looking at 1m x 1m rugs for £300 that's expensive. If you're looking at 2m x 3m for £100, that's cheap.
