Where to buy area rugs?

NewYorkerinAZ · November 2011

We currently have a 5x7 area rug for the living room but it's just not big enough or nice enough. We want a decently thick rug for Preston to play on and since he's showing interest in crawling, he needs some more padding.

I have NO Clue where to go. We looked at Lowes last year when we bought our current one but I didn't fall in love with any of them.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Ikea

Anna's Linens

My parents got their current one at a Swap Mart.

Home Goods usually has quite a few. There's always Ikea too.

We got a nice big one at Bed Bath and Beyond that we really like

We have one from Crate and Barrel that I looove. It's so thick (but not loose) They're pricey though. We wouldn't even have it if it weren't for the fact that CB donates to my organization and it was a leftover.

I also like HomeGoods and IKEA rugs.

This reminds me that I desperately need a big rug for our living room.

(Not a rug, BUT) we just bought these super cool foam tiles that link together from Costco. You can move them all over the house for when he starts crawling. Another friend recommended them because they're great for crawlers.

We need one desperately but all the ones I like are very pricey

Home improvement stores/carpet sellers can also have a rug made in the dimensions you want from any carpet you pick. We did this and it ended up being substantially cheaper. We just picked a thick high quality carpet and went when home depot was doing a carpet sale.
