I'm gonna give you some tough love real quick: It doesn't matter how much effort you've put into your living room, it is simply not complete without a living room rug pulling everything together. Yes, your cloud couch dupe, perfectly ploppable reading chair, and fab drink table are lovely, but they're kinda just floating about without a chic rug anchoring them all together. But, you knew that already, otherwise you wouldn't be here.
Or, maybe you just got your first apartment (yay!) and are literally starting from scratch. First, don't sweat—it's all going to come together. Two, might I suggest falling face-first in love with a bomb-as-hell living room rug, and then building out the rest of the room around it? You'd literally be starting from the ground up! And you'd have somewhere cozy-ish to sit until your furniture came in lol.
Either way, I'm here to help. In this here list of super cute living room rugs, I have indeed covered all the vibes—you’ll find modern rugs with geometric patterns, colorful medallion area rugs, neutral jute rugs, and a whole bunch more. Take a quick look:

I have this exact rug in my living room and it is a dream. It's super low pile so I don't have to worry about anything getting matted into it and it's super easy to vacuum. The floral pattern is bold and has such a presence, but it's still subtle enough to where it doesn't overwhelm the rest of my decor. 10/10 highly recommend, friends!
If you're looking for a neutral rug that still has some character, look no more. This handmade ivory rug is super soft and has a medium pile, so you know it'll feel cozy under your toesies when you walk on it.
I'd never thought I'd lay eyes on perfection...until I saw this bad boy. This low-pile beaut hits all the major points: curved edges, bold colors, and squiggles. We love an unconventional take!
This Chris Loves Julia x Loloi collab is such a fun and smart take on the scallop trend, especially with the striped border adding a nice contrast to the soft edges. The rug is 100% wool, a low pile, and comes in four other mouthwatering earth tones. So basically, ya need it!
Nothing says posh like an Art Deco-inspired rug from Kathy and Nikki Hilton, am I right? The soft powder blue combined with the geometric border brings such balance and elegance to any space.
Never met a fringed rug I didn't like. If you're going for a one-of-a-kind vibe in your living room, you've found the perfect piece to bring it all together.
Another Chris Loves Julia x Loloi stunner for your choosing. You simply cannot go wrong with the classic diamond pattern here—that is typically seen in tiling—but it's taken to a new level with this soothing sage color instead of the go-to black and white.
You know that feeling you get when you walk through a park after a light rain, and everything has the prettiest slight glisten? Yeah, that's what this stunner was going for, and it'll totally brighten up your drabby apartment.
Going for a monochrome look? You’ll definitely want to add some texture, and this chunky basketweave rug will do the trick.

This Y2K-inspired rug is giving major fairy girl vibes and I’m here for it.
It’s soft, chic, and surprisingly easy to clean according to reviews: “I’ve washed it in our washing machine using cold water and dried it several times,” one person wrote. “It looks the same as the day I first [bought it]."
If you haven’t hopped on the faux cowhide rug trend yet, what are you even doing? Not only do they work well as a centerpiece for most living room decor styles, they're literally ideal for layering on top of a larger area rug.
If your living room design is almost complete—and you’re just looking for a cute but simple rug to tie it all together—add this solid shag rug to your cart.
This is such a fun play on the classic black-and-white stripes, but with an unexpected twist.
Serena and Lily have perfected coastal pretty, and this rug lives up to the hype. Is it damn near your whole paycheck? Yes. But it's beyond worth it and will be a quality investment piece.
Okay, yes, she's pricey, but she's durable and can go with you from apartment to apartment! So it's like you didn't pay that much after all. Girl math.
