We Tested (and Rated!) Every Rug at Crate & Barrel

"It's known for its neutral colorways and "clean" aesthetic, and focuses more on timeless, unfussy designs rather than trends. While it's probably best known for its seating and kitchenware, Crate & Barrel also has an excellent rug selection. The majority of its rugs are made of natural materials like wool, jute, and sisal, but there's also a good variety of performance rugs. Unsurprisingly, you'll find tons of neutral options in gray, beige, and white, but there are some colorful patterned rugs in there, too."

"To make the shopping process a bit easier, we launched our Personal Shopper series, where our editors visit the showrooms of our favorite home retailers to touch and use their products in person. We've already done one Personal Shopper trip to Crate & Barrel ( beds!) and have written about our favorite C&B products over the years, including couches, beds, and dishware. Crate & Barrel falls in the middle price-wise. It's more affordable than luxury brands, but more expensive than the big-box budget retailers."

Rug shopping requires choices about style, color, size, layout, texture, material, and price. In-person showroom evaluation helps assess these factors and compare many options hands-on. Crate & Barrel's New York storefront inventories over 700 rugs and highlights several bestselling styles. The brand emphasizes neutral colorways and a clean, timeless aesthetic rather than trend-driven looks. Most rugs use natural fibers such as wool, jute, and sisal, while performance rugs are also available. The selection skews toward grays, beiges, and whites but includes some colorful patterned pieces. Pricing sits in the midrange between luxury and big-box retailers.
