Area Rugs: Splurge vs Save

Sharing is caring!

Thanks to the internet and Google saving on home decor has never been easier. Decorating our home has left me making decisions right and left. While I have been known for hunting down the best deal to save a buck, sometimes it may be worth it to splurge.

For example, we knew we wanted butcher block counter top on our kitchen island. An opportunity presented itself to use a recycled bowling lane and we needed to make the decision on whether to splurge on a conversation piece or save with basic butcher block. [You can check out our decision here.]

Area rugs are one of those home decor items with a wide range of prices. I just finished decorating our master bedroom complete with a beautiful 9′ x 12′ area rug. In my search I came across so many that were out of my budget (I’m talking thousands of dollars).

In an effort to share my experience and give you a point of reference, I’ve created an area rug shopping guide with two categories: splurge vs save. Anything over $300 for a 9′ x 12′ area rug was considered a splurge; anything under $300 was considered a save.
