Indoor Rugs

Spruce up your space and create an inviting interior with our vast selection of indoor area rugs. Not only are they useful, but they look fantastic. Whether you want one beside your bed or under your dining room table, the perfect rug is well within your reach.

From room to room, indoor area rugs adorn and protect your floors, providing softness underfoot, as well as a wealth of textures, patterns, and colors. They can take your room from barely noticed to hard to miss. At OnlyAreaRugs.com, we make it fun and easy for you to find rugs that suit your space, convey your unique style, and complement your wall color, furniture, and accessories. Indoor rug options are plentiful. With their rectangular shape, runners are ideal for long, narrow spaces like galley kitchens and hallways. Oversized rugs add style, comfort, and warmth to living rooms and family rooms. Smaller accent rugs can be used in foyers, bathrooms, and entryways to help protect floors from dirt and moisture.

Area rugs are constructed from a variety of natural or synthetic materials. Synthetic rugs usually cost less than natural fiber rugs, while handmade is often more expensive than those made by machine. Polyester is an affordable option that retains its color and offers easy cleanup. Other synthetic materials include nylon and polypropylene. With its durability and resilience, nylon is a good choice for high-traffic areas since it offers abrasion-resistance and long-term wearability. Polypropylene rugs resist fading, moisture, and mildew, so they can also be used outdoors.

If you prefer natural materials, options include sisal, silk, sea grass, cotton, jute, and wool. Sisal is strong and ideal for high-traffic areas. It typically has a coarse texture and is best for indoor use. Jute boasts a soft feel, natural coloring, and is best suited for low-traffic areas. Durable yet soft, cotton rugs are ideal for high-traffic areas and come in a wide variety of colors. Wool can be the most expensive choice, but it boasts excellent strength and resilience. It's soft and thick with a luxurious feel.

Color contributes to the mood of a room. Whether it's neutral earth tones, soothing pastels, or vibrant jewel tones, a rug's color and pattern can complement or set the tone for your space. Contemporary rugs with abstract or geometric motifs are ideal for complementing modern or eclectic decor. A rug with black-and-white stripes is another option for a clean, modern look that's minimal yet still makes a statement. For a rug with a traditional style, options include scrolls, medallions, herringbone, lattice, and floral prints, as well as Oriental and Persian rugs.

With proper care, your area rug will continue to look great and last for years. To keep wool rugs in tip-top shape, vacuum once a week and have them professionally cleaned every couple years. Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth, then spot-treat. For synthetics rugs, vacuum them regularly and follow the same guidelines as wool rugs. Cotton rugs can be vacuumed or machine-washed in warm water with a mild detergent. Treat stains by dabbing them with a dry towel, followed by a damp towel. For other natural-fiber rugs, weekly vacuuming is recommended. If you get them professionally cleaned, be sure to use a dry extraction process rather than steam or shampoo. Blot spills immediately with a clean towel.
