My rugvite rugs are stunning! My first rug has the most vibrant colors of pink, greens and yellows. It anchors our neutral furniture in our living room. I loved this rug so much i worked with RugVite to have one made for our primary bedroom. It complimented the blush colors in our room and is a showstopper! The quality is impeccable!

My husband and I went to their place to look for a 9’x12’ rug. Azka and her husband were so accommodating and helpful. I had one rug in mind but once I looked through all the beautiful rugs I found another that was gorgeous and perfect for what I was looking for. The whole experience was easy and nice and I highly recommend shopping here. The prices are not to be beat for quality rugs! Thank you to Austin Rug Store!

FAQs
What is an Oushak rug?
An Oushak rug is a handmade wool rug that comes from Turkey. These rugs are known for their soft texture, warm colors, and floral patterns. They are made using traditional weaving techniques and natural dyes, giving them a unique and timeless look. Oushak rugs are popular because they add warmth and beauty to any room and can last for many years with proper care.
Where can I buy Oushak rugs in Austin, TX?
You can buy Oushak rugs at the Austin Rug Store. We have a wide selection of handmade rugs, including vintage and modern styles. Our rugs are carefully chosen for their quality and beauty. You can visit our store in Austin or shop online, and we offer free shipping within the lower 48 states.
Why are Oushak rugs so expensive?
Oushak rugs are expensive because they are handmade using high-quality wool and natural dyes. Skilled artisans spend months weaving each rug, tying thousands of knots by hand. The fine craftsmanship, durable materials, and unique designs make these rugs highly valuable and long-lasting.
What is the 18-inch rule for rugs?
The 18-inch rule is a design tip that suggests leaving about 18 inches of bare floor between the edge of a rug and the walls of a room. This helps create a balanced and open look. However, in smaller spaces, you can adjust the rule to fit your layout.
Are handmade rugs better than machine-made rugs?
Yes, handmade rugs are better because they are made with natural materials like wool and silk, making them more durable and unique. Each handmade rug has slight variations that add character, while machine-made rugs are mass-produced and wear out faster. With proper care, a handmade rug can last for generations.
How can you tell if a rug is high quality?
A high-quality rug is made from natural fibers like wool or silk, has tight and even knots, and feels soft but firm. You can check the back of the rug—handmade rugs have slightly uneven knots, while machine-made rugs have a perfect, uniform pattern. A good rug will also have rich, natural colors that age beautifully over time.
How do you clean a handmade rug?
Vacuum regularly to remove dust, but avoid using a beater bar, as it can damage the fibers. If there is a spill, blot it gently with a clean cloth and mild soap—do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For deep cleaning, it is best to take the rug to a professional cleaner to protect its colors and texture.
How can you tell if a rug is handmade?
Turn the rug over and check the back. Handmade rugs have visible knots and slight variations, while machine-made rugs have a perfect and uniform pattern. You can also check the fringe—on a handmade rug, the fringe is part of the rug itself, while on a machine-made rug, it is sewn or glued on.
What are the benefits of wool rugs?
Wool rugs are soft, durable, and naturally stain-resistant. They help regulate temperature by keeping rooms warm in winter and cool in summer. Wool also absorbs moisture from the air, improving indoor air quality. These rugs are long-lasting and a great choice for homes with kids and pets.
Do handmade rugs last longer than machine-made rugs?
Yes, handmade rugs last much longer than machine-made rugs. They are made with strong natural fibers and tight weaving techniques that allow them to withstand daily use. With proper care, a handmade rug can last for decades and even be passed down as a family heirloom.
How do I choose the right size rug for my space?
To choose the right size rug, consider the size of your furniture and the layout of the room. A rug should be large enough to fit under key furniture pieces, like a dining table or sofa, while still leaving some floor space visible. A good rule is to leave at least 12 to 18 inches of space between the rug and the walls.
Can I visit your store to see rugs in person?
Yes, you are welcome to visit our showroom in Austin. Seeing a rug in person allows you to feel its texture and see the true colors before making a decision. Our team is happy to help you find the perfect rug for your space.
Do you offer free shipping on rugs?
Yes, we offer free shipping to the lower 48 states in the U.S. We carefully package each rug to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
