1. IKEA Rugs

IKEA is one of the top companies offering rugs for any taste and budget. People are used to buying different decorations and household essentials for their house at IKEA and carpet is not an exception. Not only does the Swedish company offer rugs in a wide range of sizes and colours but also the prices are quite low. IKEA has an offline and online presence, pick a more enjoyable way of shopping and that’s it. IKEA offers both basic rugs and other sophisticated ones to give inexpensive elegance to your house. The prices of many carpets start at $100. Choose a rug style: a more modern carpet or an oriental rug and get various options.

IKEA also provides delivery services which are quite important to consider because rugs usually weigh more than we think.

IKEA does not show customer reviews on their website, but at Deep Clean can assure that it does offer good rugs. We had several cases of cleaning rugs bought from IKEA and the fibers and the carpet itself waw of solid quality.

2. Amazon Rugs

Amazon is one of the biggest online stores in the world, you can find anything there from tech products, clothes, books, home décor, furniture and why not rugs, too. The retail giant offers over 40,000 rugs to decorate your house in the most affordable way possible.

The prices are hyper-affordable as low as $10 (23.6″x35.4″). Another Amazon perk is that you can read the reviews from real customers and make your final decisions based on customer feedback.

Amazon has local and international shipping both free and not, yet each store has its specifics check them before placing the order.

Check out one of the reviews posted on Amazon from a customer: “This is a great rug: Thick and full. Very well made. Deep navy blue. The Amazon one was a real Safavieh rug, high quality, with thick jute backing and the Safavieh label on the back saying it was made in Turkey.”
