Tips for Buying Cheap Rugs
Material matters: Cotton and jute are usually cheaper and more durable; wool and hand-knotted will cost more.
Size affects price: Smaller rugs (3×5 ft or runners) are significantly cheaper than large area rugs.
Check reviews, especially on online marketplaces, as quality can vary from seller to seller.
