Rugs on the floor of a living room or bedroom are an affordable update that can add a touch of comfort and style to a space. In fact, some cheap rugs can give designer floor coverings a run for their money - aside from anything else, for the price of a high-end design you can have more modern area rugs! Want more contemporary flooring? Choose circular rugs with colourful patterns or statement monochrome stripes for a smart modern look. Love traditional interiors? Opt to roll out delicate or classic patterns on the floor that will stand the test of time. Need to perk up a cold, hard country floor? Go for pretty pastels or vintage designs. Whatever your style, why not choose one of these gorgeous budget rugs to warm up your floor.
