5 Statement Rugs You Need

True Life: I am addicted to statement rugs. If you walk into my house, the first thing you see is a huge persian rug. If you walk to the back door, guess what is in front of it? A black and white geometric statement rug. Kitchen? Rug. Hallway? Rug. Extra bedroom, you guessed it, rug.  The only thing that I don't like about rugs is the outrageous and ridiculous price range really big rugs fall under. The best part about my huge persian rug for the living room was definitely the price. Usually rugs of this nature will run around anywhere from $400-$4,000, but if you know me at all then you know I would never even consider forking over that much money for something that sits on the floor and gets walked on every day. Places like Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, Ikea, Home Depot etc. are great places to start looking for an attractive and affordable rug that suits your home. The one thing you have to watch when buying rugs is sizing compared to price. For example, a rug is priced $39-$400, (quite a range, right?) which means the different sizes range different prices. It's easy to get distracted by the first low price and think, "Oh wow, what a bargain!" Yeah...a bargain for a 2X3 rug. Haha.

Now lets talk about some statement rugs that are available to purchase, but won't break the bank:

#1: Nourison Graphic Illusions GIL14 Area Rug in Multicolor
I adore this statement rug because a statement it surely will make. The paisley(ish) design is totally hot right now in fashion, and apparently home decor as well. I like how the bold print is toned down with neutral colors to match most homes decor. Could it get any better?

#2: Jaipur Marquise Indoor/Outdoor Rug in Ivory/Black
As most of you probably already know, I am a sucker for black and white (or ivory in this case). This rug seems to be made for the concrete slab on my back porch.

#3: Oriental Weavers Caspian Block Scroll Indoor/Outdoor Rug
If your home has different shades of blue and green in it, this rug is for you. I love the oriental aspect of it and it would look awesome at the front or back door (because of the smaller size).

#4: Style Statements Kinzing Rug
If I could decorate my house as girly as possible without any opinion of a man, this is the rug I would pick to center my focus around. It's the perfect mix of neutrals & pastels.

#5: TRADKLOVER Rug
Warning: This image will make you rush to the closest Ikea to purchase this rug and everything else pictured. Remember my love for black and white? Well tt seems minor compared to this amazing living room filled with nothing but black and white, and let's take a moment to admire the statement rug. Oh man, I need that rug in my living room ASAP.
