Guest Picks: Hot Trends in Rugs for All Budgets
See the most popular rug looks today at high, middle and low price points, to make a decorating statement no matter how much you can spend
As the cool weather sets in, you might want to pick up a cozy area rug or two. Below I have selected rugs in the hottest trends at all price points. There is something for everybody. I chose them in various really generous sizes that will make a statement and listed them in three price categories: high, middle and low. (Some "low" rugs are priced higher than their "middle" counterparts, but that's only because they're larger.) Bonus: Many of these sites offer free shipping. Happy shopping! — Valorie from The Visual Vamp
Green Over-Dyed Ziegler Rug
High: The overdyed rug really took off this past year. To get the look, vintage or antique rugs are stripped of color and then saturated with vibrant contemporary colors. Silk and wool rugs are the costliest.
Teal/Gray Area Rug
Middle: This overdyed wool rug is a real bargain; it looks much more expensive than it is.
NuLoom Vintage-Inspired Over-Dyed Rug, Turquoise
Low: On a budget? This collection of synthetic overdyed rugs has a great vintage look. I actually have one in my office and love it.
I shopped low! Here's the synthetic overdyed rug in my office, in chartreuse. I really love how it looks.
Gloria's Garden Rug, Rectangle
High: The rich hippie–bohemian look is celebrated at Anthropologie. This store always has gorgeous rugs.
Sabrina Handmade Floral Apricot Orange Wool Rug
Middle: This wool rug in a vibrant floral pattern would make any bohemian decorator happy. The price is excellent for the quality.
Ayanna Kaleidoscope Multi Area Rug
Low: This happy hippie rug is budget friendly. While it is synthetic, it is woven and has a great look for the money. Plus, synthetic rugs work well for those who need something hypoallergenic.
Beni Ouarain Moroccan Rug, Azilal
High: The Moroccan Beni Ouarain rug is the hot darling of decorators and interior designers. Its neutral palette mixes well with so many decor schemes.
NuLoom Hand-Knotted Moroccan Trellis Natural Shag Wool Rug

Low: This is a great budget-price Moroccan-style rug. Everyone can enjoy the trend.
I bought this synthetic Moroccan rug from Overstock.com for around $200. I absolutely love it.
Optimum Sea Grass Rug, Sage/Khaki
High: Sea grass rugs are great on their own but look really wonderful with another rug layered on top. Overall they tend to be well priced.
Home Legend Natural Sea Grass Area Rug
Low: This sea grass rug from Home Depot is superinexpensive and still good looking.
Layer a rug on top of a sea grass one to maximize the look.
