The already enormous list just keeps getting better and better.
You won’t be able to scroll down to the bottom of this list without finding a rug store that holds the rug that will position itself perfectly in you living room or bedroom.
The list keeps getting bigger and better too. We love browsing Instagram or Pinterest in search of the best rug stores that you haven’t heard of.
The goal was to curate a list that was useful to as many people as possible: highstreet fanatics, Moroccan enthusiasts and Boho hobos. We’ve got them all.
We have succeeded.
There’s no extra cost to you but we wanted to let you know some of the product links in this article may be affiliate links so we can earn a living for our hard work.
