Hi guys,
I am looking to purchase a large quality rug for the living room.
Sizing will be around 320cm x 350cm or somewhere around there.
Budget is around $1k (flexible)
Do you guys have any recommendations for qstores with good selections and quality?
Thanks.
Should add, happy with quality. It replaced a smaller Hali rug, which is high end and it feels just as good.
Consider sisal. Fantastic durability, easy to clean, hard to stain. Don't be scared that they're not soft and fluffy like some alternatives - we have them as "sit-ons" (as well as runners/mats) and they are great.
Order to size. Here's one supplier, there are more:
Don’t be fooled by some retail stores, while some do have exclusive stock others are just meh and put huge mark ups on rugs you can source elsewhere. For a 3m rug the price in store will be high
We saw a rug that size in a retail store for $1400 which we loved
Found the name of the rug’s design in the website
Googled the name and found they were manufactured in India, found a seller on eBay shipping the exact same rug and others the store stocked for $500, after applying ebay promo codes and getting free shipping we couldn’t be happier.
I'm in the same boat. Can I ask which store in Melbourne you saw this rug, and then possibly which eBay seller you bought off in the end?
hey mate cant remember the store, wasnt a big chain but they had one showroom in most capitals iirc. found the rug in an online store for 30% less, then more than 50% less on ebay by googling the design name/number, and found 1-3 sellers.
purchased from strategic-2013, have heaps of rugs
Hey thanks for that. Can you remember what suburb the showroom's in or any inkling of its name? It'll give me more information to try to research with! Cheers.
I usually just go to carpet stores and buy their remnants (or a few metres) and get them overlocked.
Not any cheaper but you can choose the exact size and colour.
There are a few decent online retailers who sell extra large rugs like the one you've after OP.
My wife and I were happy with this one - a scandi style natural rug - which we got in the 320x230 sizing.
I bought an ex display one that size at nick scali before Xmas. Usually $3k
They had a decent range of others ex display available from a few hundred to just over $1k in that size. This was the Preston store, which is pretty new and not a huge amount of foot traffic so I was ok with it being ex display
