From Persian to shag and braided to hand-tied, these online rug stores offer thousands of area rugs for delivery.

One of the most comprehensive websites selling rugs is Rugs Direct. Allowing you to shop easily by design, weave, shape, and brand name, the store touts a vast, well-organized selection. There are over 2000 rugs just under the specific category of “floral and botanical prints” – almost overwhelming. To get a sample of their diversity, click on their Most Popular link, which will display up to 100 of their top-selling rugs. Though many rugs are under $200, you’ll find some exotic specialties (i.e. Turkish-Indian) that go for as much as several thousand. The children’s section of the online store offers a healthy selection of kid-themed rugs to boot, making this a truly all-purpose outlet. And Rugs Direct is not only happy to sell you rugs of all prices; they’re delighted to suggest a panoply of padding and cleaning accessories you may or may not need. Thread for thread, this store is tops.
