28 Best Area Rugs for Living Rooms, Lofts, and Other Open Spaces

The best area rugs for living rooms and similarly large spaces in the home can bring a transformative element to your space—with no expensive remodel or challenging DIY project required. The hardest part about getting a new rug, in our opinion, is the actual shopping. With so many options, it can be overwhelming (and hard to choose just one!). That’s why we rounded up our favorites: read on for 28 high-quality, well-reviewed, aesthetically pleasing picks in a variety of styles, textures, and price points. 

Editor’s note: These rugs are available in a variety of sizes and/or shapes. We pulled the prices for 5-by-7-foot rugs (or the closest possible match) so the price comparison would be consistent. If you’re looking for something smaller, larger, or in a different shape, click through to the product, and you’ll most likely find the rug size you need.
