West Elm's assortment of home goods never ceases to amaze us — hence, why we always find ourselves endlessly scrolling through (and inevitably shopping out!) new home essentials from the brand. From its cool kitchen finds to seriously stunning furniture, you can pretty much always find us obsessing over something from the retailer. We recently got caught up shopping through West Elm's rug selection (one of our favorite categories from the brand!) and found so many good ones, it was hard to choose a favorite.
We're firm believers that area rugs can make or break a room. In the same way that a muted living space can be elevated by an asymmetrical rug or colorful area accent, a busier space might also benefit from having the softening touch of a simple and understated rug incorporated into it. Fortunately, West Elm has no shortage of stylish area rugs that are truly designed to blend into any home space. So, with all of this in mind, we went ahead and curated a list of the best West Elm rugs that'll surely give you some inspiration for a mini makeover. From fluffy, minimal designs to colorful statement makers, find your match ahead.

This popular West Elm Souk Wool Rug ($149-$1,099) is one of the brand's bestsellers. With its asymmetrical pattern and crisp, contrasting black and white design, the piece will easily spruce up any space with some fresh structure. Naturally, the soft texture and cute tassels also totally sold us.
This West Elm Sunset Lake Rug ($499–$1,299) is oozing with an abstract essence that any atypical design theme will work beautifully with. We love the cool, blue shades that are smeared all across the rug. And the pinks and yellows added to it make it feel unique, too — fresh enough to have a permanent spot in your home in any season.
If you have a more minimal style but love texture, then consider investing in this understated West Elm Textured Arches Rug ($399-$1,099). The mix of white and beige is so chic. While it's muted, it's also modern enough to serve as the most stylish centerpiece in even the most intricately designed living room or home space.

Perhaps your home could benefit from having a subtle pop of color incorporated into it — after all, beige color schemes are all the rage right now. We're personally into the stylish flair provided by this red-hued West Elm Zahari Rug ($299–$799). The pretty choice would look great in an entryway, especially.
If you're looking for a true statement maker, then you can't go wrong with buying this Donna Wilson Block Composition Rug ($240, originally $299). Even in the most muted space, the bold shapes and colors will add some extra elements to your room. Plus, with so many neutral colors incorporated into the piece, it's incredibly easy to match with other accents and home decor pieces.

Cool down any living room space with the help of this West Elm Graduated Dot Rug ($149–$1,399). The subtle polka dots that are scattered all across the accent piece are cute, without being too much. Best of all: it also comes in a pretty light gray shade.
If you're looking for something neutral and fluffy, you can't go wrong with a classic shag rug. Of all the choices out there, the West Elm Hand-Loomed Solid Shag Rug ($399-$1,099) is our number one with its breezy and classically cool vibe. It also comes in a slightly darker oatmeal shade which is perfect for those more neutral-colored home spaces that are in need of darker, cooled down touch.

While home trends may come and go, abstract styles are really the design pieces that manage to stand the test of time. If you're looking for a darker rug, then get the West Elm Arched Shapes Shag Rug ($199-$1,699) — which seamlessly blends modern and abstract design styles into a single statement piece. The mix of grays and shapes also makes it super-unique. And thanks to its darker coloring, the area rug also doubles as a great piece for high-traffic areas in your home, as it won't show dirt or wear as easily.
