rugs under €500
We don't hold clearance sales, run dubious promotions or grant artificial discounts. In return, we always offer you our rugs at a fair and excellent price!
Even so, here you'll find some reduced and affordable rugs under €500
Under €500 you'll find genuine hand-knotted and hand-woven rugs with us – currently more than 2,000 pieces, with an average price of around €220. Small and medium formats are realistic here. From small accent rugs starting at 60 x 40 cm up to sizes such as 240 x 170 cm. Plus plenty of runners.
A really generous living-room rug at 200 x 300 cm isn't part of this range – for that you'll need from around €1,000.

What you get for under 500 euros
This price range is the most honest way into real rug craftsmanship. What you'll find here is nothing machine-made: hand-woven Kelims and hand-knotted wool rugs, simply in smaller sizes, or from provenances that are knotted less elaborately, or in some cases pre-owned – genuinely vintage and sustainable.
Size is the lever that sets the price in this class. Half of our rugs under €500 come in at around one square metre, which corresponds to sizes such as 60 x 40 cm, 90 x 60 cm, or 120 x 80 cm and 150 x 100 cm.
The other half is spread across sizes of 150 x 100 cm, 180 x 120 cm, 200 x 150 cm and 240 x 170 cm. So the ceiling is at about 4 m² – individual pieces go up to 6 m², and beyond that this budget doesn't stretch. As a bedside rug, as an accent under the coffee table, in the hallway or in a child's room, this is exactly the right size range.
When it comes to material, here too it stays with what has worked for generations: pile of sheep's wool, warp and weft of cotton. You'll almost never find silk in this class, and rightly so – a genuine Silk Rugs at this price point would be a warning sign. The exceptions here are of course pre-owned rugs, which we always have cleaned, though not always fully restored. That's why they hold plenty of potential to be a real bargain – provided you like the look of a vintage rug. Knot densities are typically around 160,000 knots per m², which is perfectly sufficient for a small format and makes the rug robust enough for everyday areas.
Kelims are the most common type in this bracket, and there's a reason for that: they are woven rather than knotted, so they take less working time per square metre. In return they are flat, reversible and light – ideal for hallways, kitchens and anywhere a door swings over the rug. If you want pile underfoot, take a look at our knotted Oriental rugs such as Hamadan, Kazak, Bukhara, Lori or Nain and Tabriz.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about rugs under €500
Yes. Every piece in this selection is knotted or woven by hand – no machine-made rugs. The low price comes from the size and the knot density, not from the way it is made – a rug of one m² simply takes a quarter of the working time of a rug of four.
The typical range lies between 0.5 and 1.6 m². Common sizes are 90 x 60 cm, 60 x 40 cm, 120 x 80 cm and 150 x 100 cm, plus over 100 runners for hallway and kitchen. There is a good choice in 240 x 170 cm as well. Sizes up to around 4 m² do turn up, but they are the exception.
No. In this price range there is no piece in 250 x 300 cm. With us, hand-knotted rugs in this size start at around 1,000 euros; under 1,500 euros you will currently find just under 300 rugs of 6 m² and larger.
The price of a knotted rug comes almost entirely down to area times knot density times material quality. A small format with solid wool quality and a medium knot count works out to this class without any saving on the handwork. What you will not get here are very fine knotting, pure silk content and large formats.
For hallways, kitchens and under doors the Kelim is the better choice: flat, reversible, easy to move. For living spaces where the rug should feel soft, go for a knotted piece with a pile, such as a Kazak or Hamadan. You will find both in this price range.
Hand-knotted wool rugs last for decades in normal domestic use, whatever the purchase price. What matters is care and placement: vacuum regularly, turn the rug every few months, and put an anti-slip underlay beneath it in heavily used areas.
