Wool Rugs: 4 Questions to Ask Before Buying

For many, today is the start of the “most wonderful time of the year.” Of course, we’re talking about the beginning of the holiday shopping season, which traditionally starts with Black Friday. While some companies have had sales going on all month, the day after Thanksgiving, things begin to ramp up. And that’s why we’re putting together this list of Black Friday tips for saving on rugs at Rug Source!

Tip #1: Know what size and style of rug you’re searching for

Saving on rugs during Black Friday is a great way to stretch your home decor budget. However, there’s a distinct difference between buying something suitable for your home and buying something that isn’t. 

Some people will try to make a rug too small to work in their space. Others will buy a rug that’s too big and curls up on the edges of the wall. Others still are unaware of the way a round rug can help a space feel larger.

Make some notes of what you’re looking for before shopping this holiday season for a new rug.

Tip #2: Keep an eye out for our coupons and sales pricing

We run promotions throughout the year, though with the holidays right around the corner, we’ll join in the festivities with sales and other discounts. Sometimes, those are on the homepage. At other times, they’ll be on the rug listing itself. And sometimes, we’ll even put them in a pop-up. Be sure to keep an eye out for the best deals during this time of year!

Tip #3: Don’t forget to browse our clearance section

Just a quick tip that is sometimes easily overlooked: our clearance section is often full of great, one-of-a-kind deals. These are often due to inventory updates as we look to move older product lines to make room for new acquisitions. Our clearance listings are always a great way to save some cash but are often an even bigger savings during this time of year.

Tip #4: Sort by price

Once you’ve followed these three tips, you can sort by price. If you have an upper limit to your budget, be sure to put that in the filters. We recommend sorting by high to low, just because it can help you better pinpoint which rug is best for you — not which is cheapest.

Tip #5: Don’t forget your rug pad

Another overlooked Black Friday tip for saving on rugs is to include a rug pad with your purchase. This helps to protect your rug, and all of our rug pads can be custom-fitted to your rug’s exact dimensions.
