Say goodbye to the days of undressed floors because Target has a breathtaking selection of area rugs that your feet will thank you for. As a big textile fan, there's truly something to say about the tone a rug can set for a home. In fact, before decorating a bare space, I always begin my journey with a rug to guide my style. The fashionable floor coverings are a great way to incorporate dimension, texture, color, and comfort into dull rooms that need a bit of life. Not to mention, for apartments that can't be painted (aka every building I've ever lived in), rugs tend to make up for the lack of vibrancy that white walls exude.
If you're ready for a high-spirited home transformation that doesn't involve a paint job or a ton of money, we highly recommend perusing Target's affordable finds. Since the retailer's extensive selection can be overwhelming, we went ahead and rounded up 17 of our favorite area rugs, including plush, high-pile designs that are the epitome of cozy and vintage-inspired options that'll add character to your space. Check them all out ahead.
