A Rugs USA Rugs Review
I recently found new, matching rugs for my home. My hesitation was largely due to not wanting to spend thousands of dollars on one rug. After coming to terms with that, I discovered a world of rugs that were actually quite affordable at Rugs USA. The only problem at the time was that they were all available online, and I couldn’t touch them or see the actual colors. Also, since I live in Canada, there’s no easy return process, unlike our friends down south.
But you know what ultimately outweighed not being able to touch, feel, or see the actual colors?! You’re right—it saved thousands of dollars. I took the plunge and did it. Knowing I’m not the only one with these concerns, I wanted to share an honest review of some Rugs USA rugs and offer some unfiltered insight to hopefully help you make your decision without being able to touch or see the rugs in person.
I recently received my first machine-washable rug from Rugs USA – the Grey Atrium Medallion Washable Rug as a walk-in closet runner. As you can see in the pictures above and below, I didn’t use it in the walk-in closet, but it’s now hanging in the kitchen. You see, even if you have a rough idea of where you want something, it might not always work out, but I almost always have a backup! That’s not the point, but I want you to know it’s real! Would you believe me if I told you this 70 x 3.6 m runner costs under $150?! And what’s more, it’s washable?! It’s the perfect runner for high-traffic areas prone to spills or messes (e.g., kitchen, utility room).
I have to say, the rug is thin – which doesn’t bother me, given its placement and intended use. For me, its function is to serve as a decorative piece, not to get stained every three seconds. So, if you’re looking for a fluffy and cozy rug, this isn’t the one for you. If you’re looking for an affordable, relatively durable, and washable rug for high-traffic areas, this is absolutely worth the price! Plus, I personally love the pattern and color scheme.
I also have the washable Luna shag rug. I originally picked it for Sloane’s room, but I haven’t really used it. Think about it. With the rest of the textures and the warmer whites in the room, I just didn’t like it. So off to the playroom. If I’d decorated her room differently, it would have been great—again, that was total user error on my part, but I had a plan B!
If you’re looking for a washable shag, this one is super cute. It’s a bit thicker than the Artium Medallion above. It’s nice and soft for my feet, but it feels a bit slippery. I think it just feels slippery, but it’s actually not that slippery (since Sloane, who runs pretty fast in the playroom, didn’t fall). It also warms up the room nicely. I can’t show you the room because it’s a total mess. But I can show you the rug under artificial light (since it’s in the basement, daylight is limited).
Okay, I also chose a rug from the bestseller list for our living room. However, the selection was quickly narrowed down due to the required size – 12 x 16 inches. I boldly chose a cream-colored rug – the Textures Veronica Wool Braided Rug from Rugs USA. It instantly gave my room a warm, cozy feel and made it feel significantly larger.
This rug is thick and exudes a warm, cozy vibe. I got a rug pad to keep it in place, but honestly, I don’t think the rug would move either way. I love this rug – from the color to the texture to the thickness. What I don’t like is that it sheds like crazy. When we got it, it shed uncontrollably. We’ve had it for about five months now, and it sheds less – not none at all. If I sit on the floor with Lulus, my pants are ruined.
Would I do it again? Probably. Despite the whole lint situation, I still really like the rug.
General Opinion on Rugs USA
Overall, I’d say the price of Rugs USA rugs is really good, and considering how much you pay for them, I’d also say the quality more than makes up for the price. I’m not saying Rugs USA rugs match the quality of rugs costing thousands of dollars—but in a similar price range, they are higher quality than other rugs I’ve seen.
If you’re still nervous about choosing, take a photo of your room and upload it to Canva. Then, add screenshots of the rugs you’re considering and see how they look in your space. This should help you narrow down your choices! If you’re still worried, always have a plan B whenever possible. You might end up installing a rug in a room you didn’t even know needed one!
Conclusion
Rugs USA has proven itself to be a reliable and affordable option for stylish and functional rugs—especially for those looking to upgrade their spaces without breaking the bank. While you can’t see and touch the rugs in person before purchasing (especially when ordering from Canada), the affordable price, wide selection, and surprising quality more than make up for the risk.
From the washable Atrium Medallion runner, perfect for messy, high-traffic areas, to the cozy Luna Shag in the playroom, to the elegant Veronica Wool Braided Rug in the living room, each piece has something unique—some with their own quirks, but all have their value. The most important takeaway: Know your needs, have a backup plan, and don’t be afraid to experiment.
So if you’re still undecided about ordering rugs online, this is your sign: With a little planning and a touch of flexibility, Rugs USA can help you transform your home beautifully and affordably.
