#6: Colt CL05 Rug

The stylish Colt CL05 rug by Asiatic combines modern colours with traditional evergreen style. The perfect vintage-look rug for both modern and traditional settings. Another hard-wearing and easy clean rug, the Colt range priced at £65 for 170 x 120cm pulls together shades of grey with light touches of blush/pastel pink, an on-trend colour for 2022.

The Vancouver 18487 Grey / Blue / Yellow Rug by Think Rugs adds colour and Scandi or bohemian style to the home, something a little more unique with designer looks at a budget-friendly price. At just £60 the Vancouver range is a welcome addition for those looking for a brighter, bolder pattern.

#4: Nova NV11 Antique Navy Rug

The Nova NV11 Antique Navy rug is a firm favourite of ours not just for its stylish looks, but also because it is backed up by being a top-seller. Another rug that falls under the ‘vintage’ category, this rug is versatile in style and comes in a number of sizes. Perfect for blending modern with traditional or simply for making a statement, this blue and ivory creation by Asiatic will be a favourite feature in your home. All this at a price tag that would have guests shocked if only they knew! At just £65 for a 170 x 120cm this rug strikes the perfect balance of quality and affordability for those on a budget.

#3: Piatto Argento Silver Rug

Another entry by Flair, the Piatto Argento Silver rug offers texture and style. What’s more, this rug can be used outdoors and stands up to the elements so is perfect for patios or decking as well as living spaces indoors. The two-level texture adds some depth and contrast to this modern rug, and at £60 it squeezes into even the tightest of budgets.

#2: Cocktail Wonderlust Grey Ochre Rug

The Cocktail Wonderlust Grey Ochre rug by Flair is one of our favourites, it was a difficult choice to feature this colour-way or the grey, or even grey and blue version to the same design. Designer looks at a budget price is the ultimate aim for those working to a budget and this stunning rug certainly fits that bill. At £55 your home will take on a whole new dimension with this rug as a focal point.

#1: Calvin Klein Rush CK950 Ivory / Blue Rug

Ok, so maybe we’re cheating a little with the Calvin Klein Rush CK950 Ivory / Blue rug – it doesn’t actually come in the 170 x 120cm (6 x 4ft) size – but if it did it would cost just £75! Super-stylish, textured and just enough of a focal point to stand out without being over-bearing. This rug, made for CK by Nourison Rugs is available in 3 sizes: a smaller 152 x 97m at £55, a larger 221 x 160m for £130 and a more room-sized 305 x 240m for just £270 and the range comes in different colourways and patterns. Normally we’d say something like “this rug offers designer looks for less”, but in this instance, which is mind-boggling to us, this rug offers the designer label along with the designer looks, for less!
