Purple Floral Area Rugs

Area Rug Shopping Guide

Add a pop of color to any room in your home with beautiful area rugs from Nebraska Furniture Mart. From solid-color pieces that add a textural element to rugs that offer bold geometric designs, you’re sure to find the perfect area floor rug to meet your needs.

What Size Area Rug Do I Need?

Area rugs at Nebraska Furniture Mart are available in a variety of sizes. Our smaller 3’ x 5’ area rugs are the ideal choice for small spaces such as foyers and entryways, while our 4’ x 6’ and 5’ x 8’ area carpets make a great choice for placement under the living room coffee table or bringing a pop of color to a small room.

For larger rooms, go large and in charge with our 6’ x 9’, 8’ x 10’ or 10’ x 14’ area floor rugs. These sizes work well to complement living room sets, set off your dining room table or place under your bed so your toes hit something comfy when you get up in the morning.

When deciding on what area rug size to choose, think about its use. If it’s covering up a large tile or hardwood floor, choose one large enough for the space but small enough so that there’s at least one to two feet of uncovered floor all around it. For dining room placement, choose one that’s large enough to accommodate the table and the chairs when they’re pulled out and in use.

What Area Rug Shapes are Available?

Area rugs at Nebraska Furniture Mart come in a variety of shapes. Rectangular shapes serve a variety of purposes and are typically used as the focal point of a living room or family room. Long, narrow area runners usually run no more than two feet wide and are designed to dress up hallways in your home.

For placement under your dining room or kitchen table, match the table’s shape. NFM area rugs are also available in round, oval and octagon shapes in a variety of sizes.

What Area Rug Brand Should I Choose?

Complement your home’s decor by choosing area rug brands that feature the colors and designs you love. Central Oriental offers affordable area rug options in everything from subtle earthy tones to vibrant floral prints, while Magnolia Home and Chris Loves Julia x Loloi specialize in classic faded Orientals.

Other brands, such as Trisha Yearwood and Loloi, offer everything you can imagine from modern geometric to classic florals and rich solid area rugs.

There’s a lot to consider when choosing area rugs for your home. Easy cleaning is a must for heavily trafficked areas, while shape and size are most important for your dining room and kitchen. Whatever you need, you’ll find style, selection and savings at Nebraska Furniture.
