17 Under-$200 Area Rugs That Don't Look Cheap

area rugs

Area rugs don't have to cost a pretty penny to be, well, pretty. There are plenty of affordable rugs that can make your home look cozy and even colorful on a budget. I saw a nuLoom rug in my interior design friend's office that I was swooning over but I was sure it was pricey. Turns out, it was under $200 for an 8x10 and I immediately bought it. I still get compliments on it several years later. I couldn't find my nuLoom still in market, but here are 17 other fantastic area rugs that cost just under $200 for every style.
