10 Under $300: Giant, Affordable Rugs to Cover Hideous Floors

Urban Outfitters has an impressive selection of 8'x10' rugs, including this one that's not too chevron, but I would recommend holding out for sales. I scored an awesome 5'x7' denim rag rug for $10 last year. (Urban Outfitters)

That's a lot of rug for the price! (Target)

Okay, this one goes over budget, but it cracked me up. Why mess with hardwood floors when you han have a "wood" carpet? There's also a 5'x7' for $199. (Target)

I weirdly kind of love this one — it's like low-key ikat. Target has tons of big rugs for under $300, but I would definitely need to see them in person before choosing one. (Target)

This one is my favorite so far, and though I've never paid that much for a rug (or any other home good), it's not bad at all for the size. (IKEA)

I haven't seen this one in person, but it appears to be similar to laying down a piece of carpeting, without all the stapling hassle. Not very exciting, maybe, but it gets the job done. (IKEA)

This sisal rug is very much our style, and actually exactly what I envisioned when I started brainstorming ways to hide the floors. Has anyone out there lived with sisal rugs? (IKEA)

Is it possible that this one is twice as nice/durable/valuable as the IKEA version? (The 6'x9' sisal rug at Pottery Barn is $656!) There's also an 8'x10' that's $399. (Crate & Barrel)

This jute version is on sale! Crate & Barrel has a lot of large rug options, but many approach the price of replacing the floors altogether. Of course we'd get to keep the rugs when we moved, but sadly, we don't have a $1,200 rug budget. (Crate & Barrel)

The "outdoor rugs" sections have been some of the first places I've been checking for affordable rugs, and this might be my favorite find. (Pottery Barn)
