I live in Brooklyn, so it's written into my apartment lease that 3/4 of my apartment floors have to be covered in area rugs. Not only does it protect the hardwood, but it also serves as a sound barrier so we're not disturbing our downstairs neighbors as we walk around.
Whether it's mandated by your landlord, you have hardwood floors to protect from kids or dogs or your own high heels, you have an unsightly scuff or stain you want to hide, or you simply need to add a bit of pizzazz to an otherwise bland space, area rugs serve a ton of purposes.
Because personal taste factors so heavily into the area rug you ultimately pick, we've chosen to focus on our favorite area rug retailers rather than individual rugs we like. Members of the Insider Reviews team have experience with every retailer in our guide, so we can attest to the quality of the rugs they supply, the excellence of their customer service, and the intuitive user experiences of their websites.
