Whether you're curating a cozy nook in your home or a sprawling living room, choosing a rug is a big decision. Rugs have the power to draw you and your guests into your space, tie color palettes together, and lay the foundation for the rest of your home decor. A rug can be the focal point of your space, or it can blend into the floor, allowing the rest of your decor and furniture pieces to take center stage. With so many factors to consider, choosing a rug can be an overwhelming endeavor to say the least. And, if you're shopping on Amazon? More daunting still.

Amazon is replete with seemingly infinite options when it comes to area rugs of all sizes and shapes, many of which deliver excellent quality, especially if you're on a budget. But, even after hours spent combing through the endless scroll of pieces, it can be hard to tell which ones are buried treasure and which rugs aren't worth adding to cart. To make it easier to find the perfect rug to suit your space, we turned to seasoned expert interior designers who shared their top picks for the best rugs on Amazon.

Vintage Area Rug

Just like light-colored walls and light-colored furniture can brighten a space and make it feel larger, so can light-colored rugs. This vintage area rug from Soalmost is a favorite of Phillip Thomas, the principal designer at Phillip Thomas, Inc., because it serves as a solid foundation for any interior.

"What I love about it is that the carpet helps to reflect light back into a space keeping a space feeling luminous," he says. "The machine washable aspect helps to relieve some of the stress associated with light carpets."

Montauk Collection Flat Weave Area Rug

"A striped floor does so much for any room," says Miles Redd, the principal designer at Redd Kaihoi. Safavieh's Montauk Collection Flat Weave Area Rug is a simple, yet elegant option that looks great in a living room, child's room, or sun room.

"Stripes make for happy graphics under foot, and cotton makes it feel like it's from a human hand," says Redd. Choose from more than a dozen colors and a wide range of sizes to accommodate rooms of all sizes.

Sheepskin Rug

For Bethany Adams, principal designer at Bethany Adams Interiors, this New Zealand lambskin wool rug is a go-to choice. "I can hardly think of a single project in the last ten years in which I haven't casually tossed a sheepskin rug somewhere," she says.

"Whether it be a single pelt atop the baby's changing pad, or a large area rug over tightly woven wall-to-wall carpeting to create a furniture 'island,' these fluffy chameleons really do go with every style and are remarkably versatile in daily life," Adams adds.

Premium Wool Braided Rug

Braided rugs are a classic style that come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes. For Adams these rugs from Super Area Rugs are a personal favorite because they're made from 100% wool, making them extremely durable.

"The fact that they are hand-woven adds to the luxury," she says. Multi-colored, these rugs are a great way to add both color and texture to your space, even if you have an otherwise neutral palette.

Indoor Boho Area Rug

For shoppers on a tight budget, this boho-style rug from Gertmenian is equal parts affordable and beautiful. "If you’re a lover of color like I am, this carpet offers so many options of colors to use within an interior," says Thomas. "While the carpet is colorful, the light background of the carpet helps to keep a space light and airy."

It comes in sizes ranging from a small runner to large area rug, and it's the perfect choice for renters who may need to repurchase new rugs for different spaces when they move.

Acadia Cheetah Faux Hide Area Rug

Animal prints are the new neutral in home decor as much as fashion, and this faux hide cheetah print rug is no exception. "When a floor plan hands me an oddly shaped nook or cranny to design, I turn to my favorite rug: a hair on hide," says Adams. "Abstract and energetic, especially in a vibrant cheetah print, these rugs pull the awkward corners of a home into the rest of the space."

Cheetah print complements all different color palettes, but if you prefer an even more exotic style, opt for black or dark brown zebra print instead.

Natural Fiber Collection Area Rug

"A natural fiber rug is an absolute no-brainer anywhere you need to cover a floor but want durability as well," says Adams. "Think mudrooms, kitchens, even family rooms." This rustic jute rug from Safavieh is one of her favorite options, and it pairs beautifully with other rugs, too.

"They're great if you have a precious, but too small, antique rug you'd like to show off. Simply layer it over a much larger (and much less expensive) natural fiber rug for a look that is super chic," she adds.

Myron Natural Fiber Hand Tufted Wool Area Rug

"Color drenching is all the rage and a solid-color area rug in a hot hue is hard to find without a designer's trade account," says Adams. Interestingly, Amazon, which carries rugs from Hauteloom, is one of the few exceptions to the rule.

"The options from Hauteloom are all on trend and 100% wool," she says. Though pricer than many other Amazon rugs, Hauteloom's pieces are hand-loomed. They come in more than a dozen bold hues and even more sizes.

Jute Cotton Hand Woven Area Rug

"When you are buying off the rack, more affordable rugs, keeping the design and materials simple can be a great approach," says Thomas. "There is nothing better in my opinion that a cotton and jute area rug," he adds.

This timeless, understated area rug from S & L Home is the perfect example of a simple piece can bring warmth and texture to any interior. Made from a blend of 60% natural jute and 40% cotton, this rug's durability makes it a great value in addition to a chic foundation layer for your space.

Dhurries Collection Handmade Wool Rug

"I love a dhurrie for a kitchen or in lieu of a bathmat, and these striped ones from Savafieh are so cute," says Adams. "Wool is super durable, just be sure to add a non-slip rug pad underneath, as these rugs are thin and can slide on tile."

While this particular rug comes in a limited size range compared to other styles, a smaller rug can go a long way when it comes to making a visual statement.

Moroccan Tassel Shag Area Rug

"There is nothing better than a shag carpet," says Thomas. Shag brings texture and warmth to a room, and it doesn't hurt that it's also super plush and cozy under your feet.

He adds, "This Moroccan-style area rug has a very luxurious and elevated feel." The varying pile heights within the rug add visual texture, and the soft hues instantly make a room feel inviting.

Safety Net Wool Area Rug

For a playful burst of color and pattern, this dhurrie rug from Dash & Albert is one of Adams' favorite picks. Go bold and add a large rug to your bedroom, or liven up your mudroom, kitchen or bathroom with a smaller version. Made from a wool blend, this rug is durable enough to withstand everyday wear, and it comes in four fun colorways in sizes that extend up to 10' x 14'.
