Where is the best place to get an inexpensive area rug?

Question

I have hardwood floors and I've been putting off getting area rugs b/c they are sooo expensive. I would at least like one large one for the dining room, but I want to get the best price. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Big Lots (or Pic N Save, Ocean State Job Lots, etc.) Any kind of discount/overstocks store is a good bet.

Also, I've gotten lucky at Home Depot.

Also try freecycle.org. You might get one for free!

Answer 2

home Depot, Walmart are probably the cheapest.

Answer 3

buying directly from a rug making country would bring down your cost by a ton....

try www.therugfactory.in   these guys are india based

Answer 4

www.homedecorators.com has a large selection at a wide variety of price points, weaves and construction.  Also now that Home Depot bought them, they often offer free financing and coupons for discounts.

Answer 5

Home Depot or Lowes

Answer 6

overstock.com

The quality, selection and prices here are the best that I have found anywhere for rugs.

Answer 7

Ikea, Target, or Walmart. Also, try and look online...but you may be like me and I like to see and feel stuff like that before I buy it.
