Are Anthropologie rugs worth it?
Anthropologie rugs are extremely well made, soft to the touch, richly colored and of a much higher quality than their often-quite-entry-level price tag suggests. In short, Anthropologie rugs really are worth it.
Across the market, they are not that much more expensive than H&M rugs, but the hues and artistry are stronger. They are quite a bit more affordable than brands such as Armadillo and yet still offer material choices that are long lasting and sumptuous to walk on. Because Anthropologie has so many styles on offer it's a good place to shop for rugs — you're certain to find an aesthetic that suits you, and guranteed to have bought a piece that wears well and is long-lasting.
