Having lived in my fair share of dorms and apartments, I’ve learned the value of decor that makes a big impact without taking up a lot of space. A good rug can transform the vibe of your home in an instant, but many can be pricey or high maintenance. That’s why washable rugs have been my go-to for small spaces with heavy foot traffic, and I found out recently that Walmart has plenty of budget-friendly options for up to 65% off.

Students can also get 50% off Walmart+, which includes a Paramount+ subscription, free shipping, free grocery delivery, and more. You’ll even get free returns from home, so if a rug doesn’t work for your space, sending it back won’t be a hassle. Here are some of my favorite washable rugs from Walmart that you can shop on sale right now.
