Area rugs can instantly transform a room. They’re total design chameleons, and depending on the style, size, color, and placement in your space, they can really make a statement. But shopping for a unicorn of a rug can be especially tricky given, well, style, size, color, and placement. 

The founders of Revival Rugs, a favorite direct-to-consumer rug brand, agree wholeheartedly with this. In fact, they based their whole company around the power of a really great rug and helping you find it on the first try.

What Is Revival Rugs?

If you’ve always wanted a Moroccan or Turkish rug, but without the long plane flight, Revival Rugs is your best bet. The brand was founded in 2017 with the promise of beautifully woven, unique rugs that were easy to shop, but didn’t cost a month’s rent. 

The brand sources both new and vintage rugs from local artisans in Turkey, India, and Morocco, and the vintage rugs are truly one of a kind — both in terms of their beauty, as well as the actual inventory itself. 

Dozens of their rug styles are also washable (like this editor-loved Gambit style) so you don’t have to compromise between washability and aesthetics. 

Revival also has filters that let you shop by style or size, as well as tons of helpful shopping advice to help you find the best rug for your space. We’ve also written extensively about shopping for rugs because we’ve also been there — shopping for a rug is hard! 

Beyond rugs, Revival has a section of accessories like throw pillows and bedding so you can decorate the rest of your space with the same aesthetic. 

Are rugs from Revival Rugs expensive?

Most of Revival’s rugs start at $99 for a 2×3-foot rug and increase depending on size, materials, and pattern. The most expensive — usually largest rugs or vintage rugs — can get into the $5,000-plus range. However, the majority of styles are available in a variety of sizes, so you can definitely shop by budget or size as needed. 

Does Revival Rugs have stores?

No, Revival Rugs is solely an online retailer. By cutting out a few steps of the traditional brick-and-mortar retail model, their rugs can be considerably less expensive — though you’ll still be spending a pretty penny for the quality.

Does Revival Rugs deliver?

Revival Rugs is mindful about the shipping process, so they will roll or fold rugs whenever possible, and usually depending on the size. When Shopping Editorial Director Jada Wong got a 9×12-foot Magnus rug, it arrived folded in a box instead of a comically large mailing tube. Most rugs can be folded without long-term creases, but the select few that cannot be folded will be packed accordingly to prevent damage.

If you’re within the contiguous U.S., shipping is free on all orders with the exception of furniture and lighting. Currently, Revival Rugs isn’t shipping to or within Alaska or Hawaii, but we hope they expand soon!

Does Revival Rugs have sales?

Revival Rugs has a few seasonal sales throughout the year. Currently, the brand is running a Labor Day deal now through Sept. 8 where you can buy any rug and get the second rug 50% off with the code RUGBOGO. The deal excludes rug pads and the discount applies to the lower-priced item. 

Is Revival Rugs worth it?

Several Apartment Therapy editors own rugs from Revival (some even have multiple rugs from the brand) so all things point to yes, Revival Rugs is worth it. The rugs are definitely an investment (especially if you go up in size), but they can instantly dress up a room and really make the space feel unique and special.

This newly launched hand-knotted rug is available in three desert-faded colors, all inspired by the Atlas Mountains in Northwestern Africa. We love the yellow and beige colorway, which will bring a sense of warmth into any room as the temperatures drop.

The checker print pattern has been everywhere lately, but this trend has definite staying power — especially in a soft color palette. According to Apartment Therapy’s shopping director, Jada Wong, this rug is a must: "This neutral rug is the star of my living room,” she says. “The flat woven border contrasts against the slightly shaggy wool, and I love the variation between the checkered pattern, too. Even though this is a neutral-colored rug, there's a ton of textures and complementary colors to keep it from looking flat and boring."

Love a checker print, but want something less busy? The Picnic rug features a checker print border, which is a great way to dip your toes in the trend. Jada chose to put the Picnic in her bedroom for a more calming vibe. "The checkered border on this rug creates the perfect outline for my bed frame and is just the right amount of pattern in my otherwise-minimal bedroom.”

Like the Gambit style, the Picnic is part of the brand’s washable line, which makes life a lot easier. As Jada says, “I’m guilty of snacking in bed, so an easy-to-clean rug was key. I can either put this in the washing machine or just spot-clean as needed — and I always do the latter!”

Moroccan rugs tell a story about the weaver's life — this Chinsu rug might even inspire you to slow down and reflect. The rug has such an interesting texture and sheen that it looks different from every angle, and would add some color to a minimalistic space.

Apartment Therapy editor Sarah M. Vazquez wasn’t a fan of washable rugs until trying out the Gambit. “When I unboxed it and laid it out, I said out loud, ‘There’s no way you can wash this …’ It felt too much like a traditional rug to believe it could actually sustain a run in the washer! However, thanks to an accident with a glass of cranberry juice, I was able to put its washability to the test. And wouldn’t you know, not only was it a breeze to wash, but it left no stain behind! After washing, I tumble-dried it on low, and it was as good as new (and still as soft!) in a few hours.”

Chugga may be part of the brand’s line of rugs for children’s spaces, but even as a millennial, this abstract rug wouldn’t look out of place in my apartment. The mix of pretty pastel shades is enough to make anyone smile.

The thick wool and unique handwoven details on this Moroccan rug with geometric and tribal motifs are gorgeous. There’s an organic element with the fringe that makes us just want to swish our hands through it.
