The 13 Best Places to Buy Affordable Rugs Online in Canada (2025 Update)

Rugs.ca operates with a .ca domain and caters to Canadian customers, but it is actually part of an American company.

In fact, the business is headquartered in Fort Mill, South Carolina. They run Rugs.ca as the Canadian version of their rugs retail website (with prices in Canadian dollars, Canadian shipping, etc.), but it’s not a Canada-founded company. Many shoppers assume it’s Canadian due to the name, but essentially it’s the Canadian-market branch of a U.S. online retailer.

The good news is they handle all the cross-border logistics for you – so Canadian customers still get fast shipping and no hassle with duties at checkout.

Just don’t be surprised that customer service or return centers may be U.S.-based. The setup is similar to Wayfair: a Canada-focused site, but U.S. ownership.

Wayfair carries hundreds of rug brands, but some of the consistently popular (best-selling) ones include:

• Safavieh – A well-established brand (over 100 years old) known for quality rugs in every style, from hand-tufted wool to durable synthetics. Safavieh’s rugs are widely available (Wayfair, Amazon, Home Depot, etc.) and they also showcase their collections on their own website.
  
• Loloi Rugs – A trend-setting brand famous for collaborations (e.g. Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines). Loloi offers beautiful designs often with a vintage or bohemian flair. Their Magnolia Home line is a top seller on Wayfair. Loloi has an official site (for catalog viewing), though their products are mainly purchased through retailers.

• nuLOOM – A brand focused on affordable, stylish rugs for modern homes. nuLOOM’s motto is bringing the artistry of rug-making to everyday homes, and they’re known for on-trend patterns at budget prices. You can buy nuLOOM rugs on Wayfair and Amazon, or browse their collections on their own website.
• Surya – Surya is a respected manufacturer of area rugs (and other decor) that offers a huge variety of designs. They are a favorite among designers for their quality and variety, from natural fiber textured rugs to bold patterned statement pieces. Surya’s website is mainly for trade buyers, but it showcases their extensive catalog. (Surya is also behind some sub-brands you see on Wayfair, like Artistic Weavers.)
• Nourison – Nourison produces a wide range of rugs and is known for a combination of beauty, craftsmanship, and value across all price points. They make everything from inexpensive synthetic rugs up to luxury handmade wool rugs. Nourison’s official site displays their collections, and their products are sold through major retailers online.
  

These brands have their own websites where you can learn about their collections, but typically pricing is similar across the web. The benefit of buying through Wayfair is that you can read tons of customer reviews for these brands’ rugs and take advantage of Wayfair’s promotions.

If you find a rug by one of these brands on Wayfair, you could also check the brand’s site for more photos or details, then comfortably purchase from Wayfair (or another retailer) knowing it’s a reputable brand.

Each of the above brands has a strong reputation in the rug industry, which is why they’re prominently featured on Wayfair’s platform.

Sometimes you might want to see and feel a rug before buying.

In Canada’s major cities like Toronto, there are several great brick-and-mortar options for affordable rugs.

HomeSense/Winners is a top choice – they often have a “Rug Emporium” section with discounted rugs (including past-season or overstock from name brands) at very attractive prices.

The selection is hit-or-miss and changes frequently, but you can find large area rugs well under $300 there, and the treasure hunt is part of the fun.

IKEA, as mentioned, has stores across Canada (including two in the GTA) and carries their full rug lineup in-store – a good option if you want to touch the materials.

Walmart and Home Depot have physical stores everywhere; while their in-store rug selection is usually limited, you can sometimes find popular styles on display and those can be bought in-store or picked up if ordered online.

For those in the Toronto area specifically, you also have specialty rug stores and outlets. For example, EQ3 and Structube have Toronto locations if you want to see their rugs in person. There are local rug boutiques and Persian/Oriental rug stores in the city which occasionally have clearance sections for affordable finds.

And don’t forget big-box carpet retailers like End Of The Roll or Alexanian – they often sell area rugs (including remnants or discontinued styles) at a discount, and you can see them in person.

Lastly, if by “near me” you’re open to second-hand, platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, or thrift stores can be goldmines for rugs – especially if someone is moving, you might snag a high-quality rug for a fraction of the cost. Just be sure to give any used rug a thorough cleaning.

In summary, for in-person rug shopping in Canada, check out national chains with home sections (like Homesense, IKEA, Walmart), furniture stores, and local carpet retailers. You might pay a bit more than the absolute lowest online price, but you’ll get the benefit of seeing the rug’s true colors and texture before buying – which for some is worth it!

Wayfair Canada makes returns pretty painless—here’s what to do if your new rug isn’t the right fit:

1. Log in to your Wayfair.ca account and open My Orders.
2. Find the rug order, click “Return or Replace Item.”
3. Choose a return reason and confirm you’ll send it back unused and in original packaging (Wayfair gives you 30 days from the delivery date).
4. Print the prepaid return label Wayfair emails you. For large rugs, they’ll also generate a separate oversize carrier label or schedule a pickup—follow the on‑screen instructions.
5. Re‑roll the rug tightly, slip it back into the plastic sleeve / box (or wrap in heavy‑duty plastic + tape if the sleeve is gone) and attach the label(s).
6. Drop the package at the designated carrier or hand it to the scheduled pickup driver.

Refund timing: Once the rug reaches Wayfair’s warehouse and passes inspection, they issue the refund (minus return‑shipping costs, which are deducted from your credit). Most refunds post to your original payment method within 5–7 business days after the rug is received.

Tip: Photograph the packed rug and tracking receipt—handy proof if anything goes wrong in transit.
