The flowers, the bees, and Wayfair’s Way Day, a two-day sale of all things home, are all signs of spring, and as an interior designer, it’s no wonder it’s also my busiest season. Everyone is ready to breathe new life into their home, and a new rug is a great way to start. Take advantage of Way Day sales where you can score up to 80% off rugs from modern to oriental styles. Some of these are ‘Flash Deals’ meaning the deep discounts don’t last long so take advantage of these specials as soon as possible.

Design tip: Make sure your rug is big enough for the room. In living areas, the front legs of furniture should be at least on the rug. In bedrooms, it should stick out from under your bed on three sides. For most rooms, an 8′ x 10′ will suffice, so I’ve priced that size here unless otherwise specified. But sizes and styles are plentiful, so there’s something for every room in the house. Don’t wait for the rug to be swept from under you – take advantage of these Way Day discounts now. Let the thrill of the hunt begin.

Go for a natural look with a masterpiece of texture like this jute rug. I often use these in extra-large sizes and then layer a slightly smaller patterned wool rug over them to create a really cultured look. This natural fiber classic is also available in other shades.

This boho beauty is plush under your feet, making her great for bedrooms or a luxe home office. The shag works well with mid-century modern aesthetics or anywhere you want a bold Moroccan accent to brighten up your space.

Channel those desert dreams with a touch of the Southwest. I’m digging this color and pattern for a handsome den, den, or bedroom. Mix with rich caramel leather and textured linen.

Dash and Albert are known for their high quality classic rugs and they are one of my go-tos. This is a great price on a short pile cotton if you want to put a little prep in your step. The herringbone is classic, while the colors evoke coastal feelings.

For those who prefer a natural fiber, this hand-woven wool from India is a real winner. It has a flat pile, so it works well under doors. I love the repeated geometric diamond pattern for a modern yet classic vibe. It also comes in alternative colors and sizes.

I can’t get enough of this unique oval rug. Measuring 1.5 x 2.5 metres, it is smaller and suitable for an entrance hall, under a desk in a small office or in your walk-in closet. The neutral color palette and classic oriental style will suit most aesthetics.

This 4′ x 6′ feminine beauty is made of polypropylene, so it’s durable and cleanable for high-traffic areas like your hallways and that spot between your kitchen island and sink. However, the traditional pattern works almost everywhere!

For those country cabins or summer conservatories, I love this cottage classic – the braided rug. This is hand woven but made of polypropylene for extra durability. Did I mention it’s also water resistant? While it comes in a variety of color combinations, this particular palette calls me for spring.

Save a whopping 75% on this preppy stripe for your patio (although it works just as well in a high-traffic space like your playroom or den!). Available in a variety of sunny colours, this rug is easy to clean, weather resistant and will brighten up your patio.
