I Found the Perfect Neutral Rug, and It's on Sale for Black Friday

Furniture and home decor shopping for my first apartment sans roommates has proven to be equal parts exciting and challenging. While I might be making purchases without the luxury of someone to split costs with, I can choose exactly what I want to make the space my own. 

And what I wanted in this case was the perfect neutral shag rug that would feel cozy under my feet and warm up the room. Because I had a very specific vision in mind (9-feet by 12-feet, neutral but not white, and without a geometric design), I spent nearly a month unsuccessfully searching for the perfect option, until I had the opportunity to choose a rug from Rugs USA, which marked down thousands of styles up to 40 percent for Cyber Monday with code 25OFF.  I quickly filtered its selection of over 4,000 by material, color, and size, landing on the Kalin Collection Ivory Shaded Shag with Tassels Area Rug that ticked every single box on my checklist.

The rug feels luxe and cozy thanks to its high pile (that means 1.45-inches of floof), and is even softer to the touch than it looks—so much so that you can lay right on it. I did, for research purposes, of course. The rug’s shaggy texture adds a layer of dimension to my room, while the size is large enough without overwhelming the space. As a bonus, it’s stain-resistant, which for a person like me (read: clumsy) is a must.

You don’t have to just take my word for it. One shopper, who praised the “great quality and quick delivery,” said that they loved the rug so much that they “bought a second one in a smaller size” for their guest room, while another person called it the “perfect neutral rug for any room.” A third reviewer said they were looking for a rug “that was soft and light in color but would also hide the stains” and found that the Kalin shag checked all of those boxes. It hid “all those marks” and is “such a good price” they added. 

My rug selection wasn’t a one hit wonder either. Fellow partnerships writer Ali Faccenda praised her own pick, the Grey Ring Around the Rosette style, as “super lightweight” and “luxurious,” while noting that it was “packed perfectly” to carry up six flights of stairs. She was able to install the rug by herself with “zero assistance.” 

Not only is my 9 by 12-foot shag rug on sale for 51 percent off and the Grey Ring Around the Rosette rug nearly $330 cheaper than its original price, but the Rugs USA Cyber Monday sale is here early this year with discounts on thousands of other designs up to 40 percent off with code 25OFF. Keep scrolling for some of the other styles that caught my eye, and grab one while it’s on still sale.
