A beautiful room evolves from the ground up, and nothing sets a space like a special rug. But a good base can be pricey, unless you shop smart. Amazon has just dropped drastic Memorial Day discounts on area rugs to spruce up your home, indoors and out. That means you can finally let go of that threadbare runner in your front hall, the stained sisal in your den and that sad, soiled rug on your deck. As an interior designer and founder of Burrow & Nest Design Studio, I'm excited to guide you in finding "The One." Remember, the rug is the foundation for all your furnishings; it needs to ground the room. It should be practical, pretty and large enough for your space. I've selected some true beauties below, but you can also explore the full rug sale, too. Now then, let's level up your floors!

NuLoom

NuLoom Ren Vintage Floral Machine Washable, 8 x 10 ft.

$183$288Save $105

Most of my clients have kids and/or pets (and a resulting penchant for wine), so easy-to-clean rugs are a must. Washable rugs are becoming increasingly popular because, well, they're amazing. Just pop one in your washer and it comes out like new. Try this pretty peach number to soften a room.

Said a thrilled customer: "I initially bought this because it’s washable and easy to clean. I’m super sensitive to all the nasty chemicals they treat area rugs with, so I have to have something I can wash. This doesn’t even have a smell to start with, which is amazing. It’s really pretty, true to the photos online, and I even bought the matching runner. It’s very flat and it doesn’t slide around. I hope they make more of these washable designs."

Loloi

Chris Loves Julia x Loloi Rosemarie Collection, 9 x 12 ft.

If you have a larger living room or bedroom, a 9 x 12 ft. rug is an ideal size, and this one is an epic 58% off.

"The most beautiful rug," said one happy shopper. "The colors are bold but soft at the same time! ... I have it in three different rooms. It’s thin, which I love, as it prevents from flattening and matting. I’ve put rug pads under them for an extra cushion. Very soft to the touch."

Safavieh

Safavieh Madison Collection, 8 x 10 ft.

$159$640Save $481

With close to 21,000 perfect reviews, this distressed rug provides an attractive Moroccan vibe that's on-trend.

This reviewer raved about the durability: "I was skeptical about buying a cream-colored rug with dogs and kids in the house but I loved the look so I went for it. First off the rug is beautiful. The colors are vibrant and the material is really great quality. Secondly and most importantly, stains come out very easily! We’ve had mud, food, puke, coffee, poop and really any horrendous spill you can think of on this rug, and it cleans out so much easier than I could have ever expected."

Nourison

Nourison Jubilant Floral, 7 x 10 ft.

$107$190Save $83

Another epic discount, this Nourison floral is nearly 45% off. A durable do-it-all in 100% polypropylene, this rug would look equally attractive in a home office or nursery as it would in a sophisticated living room or bedroom. I'm digging the monochromatic colors that allow the pattern to pop.

"I bought this carpet for my bedroom and it is truly beautiful," reported a fan. "The manufacturer's pictures are very accurate to its looks. It brings a bit of class to its surroundings. The pile is thick and plush and the edges are well bound. My carpet is a most perfect addition to my bedroom and the price was very reasonable."

"Absolutely gorgeous!" says a pleased purchaser. "It came rolled (no wrinkles). It was well packaged and arrived quickly. I love it so much that I plan to purchase another one for my dining room. Quite honestly, this was one of the best purchases I have ever made on Amazon. For those of you looking for a thick area rug, this is not it. I wanted something beautiful and thin, and that's exactly what it is. I highly recommend."
