Another key designer tip: Make sure your rug is the proper size for the room. Furniture's front feet should be on the rug, at minimum, in living areas. It should protrude from beneath your bed on three sides in bedrooms. For most rooms, an 8' x 10' will do, so I've priced that size below, unless otherwise specified. But sizes and styles abound, so there's something for every room in the house. Don't wait until the rug is swept out from under you — take advantage of these Way Day discounts now. (Looking for a couch or armchair to go with that rug? We've got the scoop on all of Wayfair's Way Day deals.)

An oriental style rug is timeless, and this one from the star herself shines bright in grays and creams. A medallion look creates a centered focal point, balancing the pattern with neutral tones. Stain resistance and durability make this a no-brainer — not to mention that it's 65% off.

The vibrant colors — cream, orange and blue — in this rug will wow you and your guests, lending a cheerful air to any room in the house. (And wait until you tell them it was over 70% off!) It's inspired by iconic Turkish patterns and made of durable poly for top performance.

Not only can you save 45% on this popular style from Loloi, in collaboration with the lauded Joanna Gaines, but you can wash it too!

Larger sizes require a commercial washer, but you can clean smaller ones at home.

I'm all about a rug pad — it protects your floors, keeps that new rug from slipping and extends the life of your investment. Plus, it adds extra cushioning to make your purchase feel lush and comfortable under your feet.
