This Rug Brand Is So Good That 8 Editors Picked It for Their Own Homes
When decorating your home, a rug is the finishing touch you need to tie everything else together. A good rug acts as an anchor for the room it’s in, serving as the grounding element that connects larger furniture pieces and smaller decorative elements. No pressure, right? To make shopping for a rug easier, it’s a good idea to shop from a brand that you know you can trust — bonus points if it comes recommended by a friend, or, perhaps, an Apartment Therapy editor.
One of the most popular rug brands that also comes highly endorsed by Apartment Therapy staffers is Loloi, a textile wholesaler that is well known for its many collaborations with popular interior designers and home brands. Because it’s a wholesaler, only professionals in the design space can shop directly from Loloi, but you can find Loloi rugs at big retailers like Amazon, Wayfair, and The Home Depot, with many offerings coming at affordable price points.
Loloi rugs come in a variety of styles, sizes, colors, and materials, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to find something you’ll love. Apartment Therapy editors and writers have Loloi rugs in their bedrooms, living rooms, and even bathrooms — they’re that good. Read on for all of the Loloi rugs we recommend and love, including machine-washable options, modern geometric finds, and classics that’ll never go out of style.
While it sounded impossible not too long ago, machine-washable rugs are becoming more and more popular, especially in busy households with kids or pets. The rugs in Loloi’s collaboration with Joanna Gaines and Magnolia Home are all machine-washable, making them particularly convenient for high-traffic areas like living rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens. Whether you’re dealing with a food spill, muddy paws, or dirty shoes, all you have to do to get your rug looking fresh is throw it in the washer.
Aside from being functional, this rug is also super stylish. (No surprise there considering that Joanna Gaines is behind the design!) There are seven rugs total in this collection, each of which has a vintage-inspired design featuring purposeful fading, neutral colors, and classic motifs. Plus, the low pile height and polyester construction make it easier to machine wash and maintain.
“Those who are more concerned with feel will be happy to know that this rug, while on the thinner side, is remarkably soft,” says former Apartment Therapy shopping writer Morgan Pryor. “It’s so cozy, in fact, that I always take off my socks so I can feel it underfoot. At first, I was concerned that a washable rug meant that comfort would take a backseat, but thankfully I was mistaken. It felt (and looked) just as amazing after tossing it in the washer as it did out of the box.”

Home and lifestyle brand Chris Loves Julia collaborated on the Jules rug, which is designed to look like a perfectly faded vintage rug that you would find in an antique store. It’s made with modern techniques though, and the polyester construction means it’s highly durable and easy to clean.
I’ve personally had this rug for over four years, and it’s worked in two different spaces: the bedroom in my previous apartment and the living area in my current home. I love that it has some color and pattern but is neutral enough to work with different colors and decor. When it was in my bedroom, it complemented my tan bedding and rust-colored accent pillows; now that it’s in my living room, it works perfectly with my navy blue sofa.
The low pile means that it’s also surprisingly lightweight and easy to move. It was actually easy to carry up my apartment stairs, which made moving it a lot less of a hassle. Just take note that this rug has the lowest pile on this list, so you may want to add a plush rug pad underneath for a comfier feel underfoot.

Not a big fan of pattern? The Greenwich rug, which is part of interior designer Jeremiah Brent’s collaboration with Loloi, has a modern grid pattern that’s subtle yet striking. Unlike the other rugs on this list, it’s hand loomed from a combination of cotton and wool, making it an incredibly luxe option that feels and looks amazing. (Just note that those features mean it’s pricier than other Loloi rugs!)
“From the moment I unrolled it, I knew this rug was something special,” says Apartment Therapy’s editorial assistant Tamieka Welsh. “The merlot color has a rich, grounded warmth that instantly anchors my living space and makes it feel more inviting. The subtle texture adds beautiful depth and dimension, giving the room a layered, lived-in look without feeling too busy. It’s the kind of piece that quietly elevates everything around it — timeless, high-quality, and worth every penny.”
You can choose from six colors, the majority of which are dark and elegant. (There’s also an ivory option if you want something lighter.) The combination of cotton and wool makes it softer than all-wool rugs, and the medium pile adds a plush feel that is warm and inviting.
Specifications:
- Material: Cotton, wool
- Construction: Hand loomed
- Pile Height: Medium
- Sizes: 8
- Colors: 6
If your style leans more traditional, the Sorrento rug is a guaranteed winner. Unlike most of the rugs on this list, it’s not part of a designer’s collection with Loloi, but was instead designed in-house as part of the brand’s Loloi II rug line. The intricate pattern, warm colors, and slight fading are reminiscent of classic Oriental rugs, but the power loomed polyester construction makes it durable enough for modern use.
“Hands down, the Sorrento rug is one of my proudest blind orders,” says former Apartment Therapy shopping writer Nikol Slatinska. “I love that it looks almost antique but not outdated. In other words, it’ll never go out of style. The floor covering’s neutral color scheme also blends in seamlessly with the rest of my furniture and decor, meaning you can style it a variety of ways.”
Nikol’s rug is in the bark/natural colorway, which features various shades of brown and tan for an ultra versatile design. It’s available in seven other colors though, most of which include natural browns, reds, and blues. With 13 size options (the most on this list), the Sorrento can work for tons of room layouts and styles.
Specifications:
- Material: Polyester
- Construction: Power loomed
- Pile Height: Medium
- Sizes: 13
- Colors: 8
Another vintage-inspired option, the Heidi rug has a traditional medallion motif and bright colorway that’ll fit right in with an eclectic home style. Although the Heidi collection includes eight rugs, only one has this specific design, which feels a bit more modern than the classic Oriental rugs it’s inspired by. The pink and blue color combination similarly feels a bit unexpected and ties it all together.
Former Apartment Therapy shopping writer Morgan Pryor spotted this rug in her grandmother’s home and immediately fell in love with it. “She told me that she chose it for its antique pattern and muted colors, which give the impression [that it’s] much more expensive than it really is.”
It’s much more durable than an antique rug, though: “She landed on the Heidi rug because it offers a low pile, and she wanted it to hold up in a high-traffic area like her bathroom,” says Morgan. “She’s kept two of them in her space for over a year and pointed out to me that the material still looks as good as it did the day it arrived in the mail. It’s also easy to vacuum and spot-clean.”
Specifications:
- Material: Polyester
- Construction: Power loomed
- Pile Height: Low
- Sizes: 12
- Colors: 1
Are you more of a maximalist? Then you’ll love Rifle Paper Co.’s collaboration with Loloi, which is full of color, pattern, and whimsy. The Eden Mughal Garden rug features a cheerful floral motif that’s both eye-catching and elegant. Unlike other patterned rugs, this one doesn’t feel too busy — it leans more traditional than modern, and adds visual interest without going overboard.
“This rug is the definition of brains and beauty. And by brains, I mean functionality,” says executive editor Terri Pous. “It’s maybe the softest rug I’ve ever stepped on, which is amazing because it’s in my bedroom, and [that] means that every time I step out of bed, I’m walking onto a dream. It’s made with Loloi’s CloudPile™ construction, which is designed to feel plush and soft underfoot, and I’m officially a huge fan. It’s super easy to vacuum, and feels as nice as the day it arrived.”
It’s available in four colorways, including both bright and dark schemes. Terri has the black version, which has more of a sophisticated vibe compared to the cottagecore-inspired light greens and pinks of the other choices. “The florals on the black background evoke kind of an enchanted midnight garden vibe, which I never tire of looking at and goes with everything else in our room.” Complete with a medium pile height, this cozy rug could work in a variety of spaces.
Specifications:
- Material: Polyester
- Construction: Power loomed
- Pile Height: Medium
- Sizes: 9
- Colors: 4
Interior designer Amber Lewis is known for her eclectic California-cool style, so it’s no surprise that her collaboration with Loloi features natural colors and materials. The Molly rug stands out for being made partly from wool, which gives it a softer feel and impressive durability compared to an all-polyester rug.
“I love this rug because it adds a little personality without overwhelming my mostly beige-and-white apartment,” says Apartment Therapy shopping director Katie Maguire. “The vintage-inspired pattern and warm reddish tones give my space a fun pop of color while still feeling relaxed and timeless. Plus, it’s durable, so it holds up beautifully even though it’s right at the entryway of my apartment and gets a lot of foot traffic.”
All nine of the styles within the collection combine browns, reds, and oranges and a faded design, giving each rug a vintage vibe that works exceptionally well in a more neutral space. With its low pile and earthy color scheme, this rug has an unfussy aesthetic that’s ideal for casual living spaces and bedrooms. And unlike most vintage rugs, this one is stain-resistant and easy to maintain — no special care required.
Specifications:
- Material: 90% polypropylene/polyester, 10% wool
- Construction: Power loomed
- Pile Height: Low
- Sizes: 10
- Colors: 9
The Rosa rug is similar to the Eden rug, as they’re both part of Loloi’s Rifle Paper Co. collaboration and feature whimsical floral motifs. The Rosa has more of a contemporary feel and even more color options, making it a great choice for people who want to add lots of personality to their space. There is a good mix of light and dark color schemes to choose from, including a striking black option that also features reds, greens, and oranges.
“It’s the absolute perfect addition to my daughter’s nursery,” says Apartment Therapy’s senior strategist Jamie Birdwell-Branson. “I was looking for something that felt moody and whimsical, and this one definitely hits the mark. The colors are perfect for our nursery and we’ve been able to easily wipe off the many, many spills and stains that have happened here.”
Like many of Loloi’s rugs, the Rosa has a low pile and is made from polyester, making it super durable and easy to clean. “We’ve had this rug for over a year now and it shows absolutely no signs of fading — and the only time we have the curtains drawn is in the evening, so it gets full sun all day,” says Jamie.
