Target's Best Indoor Rugs Steal the Show in Any Room (2024)

We demand a lot from the perfect indoor rug. Depending on the space, it can be a way to warm up a drab room with cozy texture, a bandaid for dated rental floors or simply the final piece to pull together a cohesive design — and as such, a lot of thought deserves to go into tracking down the right one. While one-of-a-kind vintage finds sound great in theory, those pieces can run pricey and are oftentimes too delicate for higher-traffic areas. The solution? We're turning to Target for a mix of the best rugs that blend form and function. And at a fraction of the price of something antique, too.

As long as you keep in mind where the rug will be situated (a good rule of thumb: Stick to low-pile options for busier areas, while medium- to high-pile carpets are better-suited for spots where they won't get too much wear and tear), the rest is down to your personal style. Ahead, 13 picks for every design aesthetic:

We love this monochromatic scatter rug for its versatility: It has a low-pile construction that'll hold up in high-traffic areas, and has an easy-to-style look that'll work in any setting. Because it's on the small side, use it at a doorway or layered on top of a larger sisal piece to make the proportions work.

The best way to add depth to a neutral-toned space is by layering in texture and subtle pattern. If you're looking to give your monochromatic space a little boost, start with this cushy rug, which features a faded print that'll enhance the room without clashing with your existing decor.

Use this peach-colored rug to bring some contrast to a richly hued area, like a kitchen with emerald green or navy blue cabinets. You won't have to worry about mess, either: It's machine-washable (without detergent) for easy upkeep.

Ditch clean corners for a circular silhouette. This round rug is hand-braided in India, and has a tightly woven construction that makes it durable enough to keep in a high-traffic area.

Use this inky blue rug to anchor a larger space, like the living room. The low-pile design is versatile enough to complement an array of personal styles, and the skid-proof backing ensures it stays put.

Fans of the modern farmhouse look will love this handmade runner, part of Chip and Joanna Gaines' collection for Target. The flat-pile option is simple (minus the striped detailing and tassels) and is best suited for low-traffic areas like the laundry room.

No pastels here: Give cliché nursery motifs a modern revamp in the form of this rainbow rug. Your kids won't grow out of it as quickly, and it has latex backing to prevent slips.

For those who favor plush styles, Project 62's medium-pile carpet blends color-blocking with abstract shapes for an altogether statement-making design that would be right at home in a cozy bedroom.

Energize a drab room with this multicolored pick, which is hand-woven from a mix of jute, recycled fabric, and cotton fibers for a rustic finished product. With seven available dimensions to choose from, it's an easy way to squeeze a bit of bohemian charm into any sized space. (Psst: Try the runner size to infuse color into a galley-style kitchen.)

If you're all about moody colors, opt for this teal-toned rug. The pared-back geometric motif and braided ends make it feel like a little luxury. It's cleared for outside use too, so you can bring some color and texture to your patio.

To be used in a kids' room or any space in dire need of some punchy pattern, this striped piece has a lush medium-pile structure and comes in two shades. We're partial to the blush hue, which provides an on-trend pop of color that'll work with both neutral and more vibrant palettes.

Spruce up a long hallway with this beautifully patterned runner. It has a skid-resistant backing and a faded, vintage-inspired design that makes it look like a one-of-a-kind purchase from an antique marketplace — no one has to know its actual origins.

This rectangular, woven, flat pile choice is made of jute, rayon and cotton for a subtle color blend. This handmade item rug can fit into most any room and comes in a wide variety of sizes and colors.
