Rug Size Guides
Buying a rug is a big financial investment. Even when buying from a reasonably priced rug vendor, it’s often worthwhile to wait until some sale is active. Fortunately, Rugs Direct is eager to offer sales and promotions so that you can purchase your best rug. With that in mind, here are some of the best times to buy a rug.
There are many seasonal rug sales throughout the year that offer discounts on popular rugs. Some of these sales line up with popular holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or the 4th of July. Other seasonal sales will align with the end of each season (spring, summer, fall, or winter) to celebrate the changing of seasons and make room for incoming inventory.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two well-known occasions where buying a rug online can result in great deals. Some vendors will even offer sales a day or two earlier to give you even greater opportunities to buy that best rug. It’s also common to see sites offer discounts or free shipping during this time, so that’s an even greater win!
New year and spring sales are both a part of seasonal rug sales. Even though these sales may not be associated with specific holidays or dates, they occur because shops are often making room for new inventory and because the rug shops want to offer new rugs for the new season. That seasonal clearance allows you to purchase the previous season’s rugs at a great discount.
Yes, even rug stores offer back to school sales! The beginning of school is an exciting time full of potential and promise, and so rug shops often capitalize on this time and encourage you to imagine your home refreshed with a new accent. Since schools resume at various times, back to school sales often time up with Labor Day, a holiday that often hosts its own sales anyway.

The off-peak times may be harder to predict, but they are also times where rugs are offered at a discount. Since rug demand is lower at these times, many rug stores and websites will offer better deals on rugs to entice you to buy from them. Because of that, it’s worthwhile to shop for rugs even apart from big holidays and known sales.
Whether you are shopping at a local store or a website, that rug shop may have its own calendar and events to celebrate special occasions. They may host anniversary sales celebrating the store’s physical location, or they may also have a big sale with the launching of a new store. Special events like these offer a unique shopping experience and fantastic sales.
Online rug retailers often have a huge stock of rugs in their inventory. Because of that, the sites may offer exclusive discounts on clearance rugs in order to move their inventory and make room for new rugs. These clearance events can randomly pop up throughout the year, so it’s worth checking on that favorite rug periodically to see if it is suddenly on clearance.
Rug trends and styles ebb and flow with time. Some rug designs like Persian and Oriental prints are considered timeless, while other unique designs may become less or more popular with time. That means that as rugs become less popular or new trends arise, older styles may be placed on clearance to make room for new rugs.
When you’re planning on home renovations or redoing a room, we recommend going into it with a plan. If you have your rugs picked out before you start working on the room, then you can purchase those rugs whenever they’re on sale and not feel rushed to buy the rug at a later date.
Newsletters and Emails: When you sign up for emails or newsletters from a rug vendor, you’ll be notified when the biggest sales of the year are happening. Plus, many sites will offer exclusive discounts to people who are on their email list, so you can be pleasantly surprised to see a sale just for you.
Periodic Check-Ins: If you’re not receiving a newsletter or email about sales, periodically check in at the store to see if your rug is on sale. You may be surprised at random sales and clearance events.
Comparing Prices: Rug brands and designs are rarely exclusive to one store or location. That means that you can shop around at various stores/sites and you’ll likely see the same rug(s) available for purchase. Shopping around and comparing prices is a simple yet effective way to get the best deal.
Different Sizes: Smaller rugs are often more affordable than larger ones. Look at your room’s layout, size, and furniture to help you choose the best rug size for the room. There are many ways to use area rugs in each room, so you may be able to choose a smaller rug size to suit your room and save some money.
Rugs are a big investment financially and also stylistically. There are plenty of sales scattered throughout the year to take advantage of along with other clearance events and store-specific sales. Ultimately, it’s best to consider what sales align with your room’s renovation and invest in your rug then. WIthin that though, remember to invest in a rug that will suit your room’s needs and style; it may be tempting to quickly purchase a rug when it’s on sale, but if you do not consider your wants and needs with the rug beforehand, you will likely be disappointed with your purchase. Take your time, research your ideal rug’s materials, size, shape, and style, and then invest when the time is right.
