I Only Recommend One Brand for Dorm Room Rugs – and These 12 Ruggable Styles Are on Sale, Student-Proof, and Machine-Washable
Ruggable rugs are practically made for college dorm settings – they're durable, washable, and playfully stylish, too. Plus these designs are all on sale right now
Choosing a dorm room rug is no easy decision. As the grounding feature of a barely 200 square foot space, a dorm room rug acts as a bedroom rug, a living room rug, an office rug (and sometimes a kitchen rug) all at the same time. Not only that, but it's subject to frequent footfall, too, from roommates to neighbors and visitors – meaning only the most hardwearing rugs will do.
If I could go back in time and tell my college-aged self what type of rug to buy for my dorm floor, then without a question, I'd recommend a Ruggable style. Known for their high-quality, washable designs, Ruggable rugs just make sense for college dorm rooms. They won't deteriorate in high-traffic settings – in fact, that's where they thrive. They're durable, designed with non-slip backings, easy to toss in the wash to keep clean, soft underfoot, and of course, they look good, too. These rugs are everything a college dorm room needs, and then some.
Right now, you can save big on a Ruggable rug as the brand is hosting its Home Refresh Event – offering 20% off on over a thousand styles. Whatever aesthetic your college student is looking to create in their dorm room – Y2K, cottagecore, dark academia – there's definitely a Ruggable rug that suits their style and can help them achieve the look for less.
So, as you and your college student breeze through your dorm room checklist over the next few weeks, you might as well pick up a Ruggable rug, too. Below, find 12 standout styles that I think would easily make your child's dorm the most design-driven room in the hall.
