Having lived in my fair share of dorms and apartments, I’ve learned the value of decor that makes a big impact without taking up a lot of space. A good rug can transform the vibe of your home in an instant, but many can be pricey or high maintenance. That’s why washable area rugs have been my go-to for small spaces with heavy foot traffic, and I found out recently that Walmart has plenty of budget-friendly options for up to 65% off.

Students can also get 50% off Walmart+, which includes a Paramount+ subscription, free shipping, free grocery delivery, and more. You’ll even get free returns from home, so if a rug doesn’t work for your space, sending it back won’t be a hassle. Here are some of my favorite washable rugs from Walmart that you can shop on sale right now.

This boho-inspired area rug features distressed geometric patterns in earthy tones. It’s available in 12 colors, including pink, blue, and green, and 19 sizes for large and small rooms. It also comes in round styles that range from 4' x 4' to 8' x 8'.

It’s available in nine sizes and eight colors that include black, white, browns, and a variety of two-toned options. Just remember that while this rug can be cleaned in the washing machine, it can’t go in the dryer and must be laid flat to dry.

My professional writing career started in my days as a lifestyle and media blogger when I joined a magazine to cover Louisiana film, fashion, and entertainment. From there, I’ve been through a natural progression into gaming and tech content with The Nerd Machine, travel and food writing at Daebak and SnackFever, and a smorgasbord of lifestyle editorial content at Pinterest. Writing for the homespace at Apartment Therapy Media became a combination of all those things.Creativity and inspiration has always been central to my writing, whether it's an album review or a love letter to my favorite organization products. I love tapping into the everyday curiosity that drives someone to curate a space that truly embodies their vision, and where do we showcase that more than our own homes? A huge part of my role is testing products, which puts me at the forefront of trendy and innovative gadgets and gizmos to make life at home more fun and efficient.In my spare time, I’m often working on creative projects, watching K-dramas, playing video games, or spoiling my dogs. That’s if I’m not in the middle of planning my next trip for a concert, festival, or just to explore.
