If you're the type of shopper who appreciates tons of fashionable options at great price points, Rugs USA should be at the top of your list. You can search for rugs by room, style, color and size, plus there's a number of outdoor picks. The retailer offers hundreds of area rugs in various styles: shag, farmhouse, bohemian, Moroccan and contemporary — to name a few. For households with dogs and children, go for a washable rug that's equally as stylish.

With 4' x 6' area rugs starting around $70 (before discounts), Rugs USA offers exceptional value. But, our favorite pro is probably the free two-day shipping. What's more, the site offers 30-day returns within the U.S., but keep in mind that you'll have to cover the return shipping costs.

Amazon has everything under the sun, including an array of affordable rugs from top-selling brands like nuLoom, Safavieh and Unique Loom.

Quickly find a favorite if you sort by size, shape, material (think chenille, cotton, jute, silk and wool), pattern or theme, care instructions or even by room (including living room, bedroom and home office). Browse Amazon's outdoor rug selection for more affordable picks.

Amazon also makes it easy to search by your favorite feature, so you can find a pick that's fade resistant, flame resistant, lightweight, non-slip, washable or waterproof. The best part? Most rugs ship for free within two days or less and can be easily returned for free (you don't even need to package it up). Since Amazon is not a dedicated rug retailer, inventory may change — so don't hesitate if you find a rug you love.

The diverse-owned brands offer a wide array of unique rugs that you likely can't find elsewhere, like the Tiger Beach Rug, Mystic Eyes or Abstract Earth. If you're looking for a statement piece, Society6 is a great choice — but note, you won't find a large number of simple or neutral designs.

If you have kids, pets or the tendency to spill, then you'll love this: Ruggable's two-step rug system comes with an easy-to-clean rug pad and a washer-friendly rug cover. That means you don't have to toss your rug or pay for an expensive carpet cleaner to tackle inevitable spills, pet messes and built-up dirt. Our Good Housekeeping Institute experts took Ruggable rugs for a test run, and found the rugs did not shrink or show changes in appearance after multiple wash cycles.

If you're the type to refresh your space often, Ruggable makes it easy (and more affordable) to swap styles. Just change the top layer and keep your existing rug pad. Even more durable than its indoor rugs, Ruggable's outdoor picks can withstand the elements and are fade-resistant. The only downside? Our lab testers found that the Ruggable feels thinner than a traditional rug and the edges sometimes curled up after washing.
