Columbus Day at Get My Rugs: Handmade on Sale

A long weekend is the perfect excuse to finally deal with the rug you have been meaning to change. The old one is worn, the room feels a little flat, or you just moved and the floors still look unfinished. Columbus Day gives you the time to measure, compare and decide without rushing, and this year it’s also a chance to shop handmade rugs on sale. 

At Get My Rugs, we think a sale should make a good decision easier, not louder. Here’s an honest guide to what handmade really means, how to shop rugs on sale without regret, and where to start.

Why Columbus Day Is a Good Time to Shop for a Rug

A rug is one of those purchases that benefits from a little patience. You need to know your room, your size and the look you want, and a long weekend is rarely rushed. Columbus Day also falls at the start of the busy season for homes: guests, family dinners and the move indoors that comes with cooler weather. Changing a rug now means the room is ready before the holidays rather than scrambling during them.

It’s also a sensible time to treat yourself to something made well. A sale doesn’t change how a rug is made, it simply makes it easier to choose one that will last.

What Handmade Actually Means at Get My Rugs

“Handmade” gets used loosely, so here’s what it means for us. Our handmade rugs are made by skilled weavers on our own looms in India, drawing on four decades of family weaving heritage. Depending on the design, a rug is hand-knotted, hand-tufted or hand-woven, and each method brings its own character to the finished piece.

That is why handmade rugs look and feel different from mass-produced ones. Color has more depth, texture has more variation, and no two pieces are ever quite identical. When you buy handmade rugs on sale, you’re getting that same craft at a friendlier price, which is the whole point of shopping thoughtfully.

How to Shop Rugs on Sale Without Regret

Measure before you browse. Know the size you need before you look at a single price. Tape out the footprint with painter’s tape on your floor so you can see how much space the rug will actually fill. When you’re torn between two sizes, sizing up is usually the safer call.

Start with the room, not the discount. The best deal is the rug you’ll still love in five years. Decide on the room, the mood and the palette first, then let the sale help you choose within that.

Sort by best-selling. Best-sellers show which designs other households are actually choosing, which is a more reliable signal than a price tag alone. It’s a quick way to cut through a long list.

Check the details. Shape, size and color all matter, and so does the look in your own lighting. Take a moment to compare before you add to cart.

Don’t wait too long on a favorite. Popular sizes and designs can sell out, so if something is exactly what you need, it’s worth acting rather than hoping it will still be there later.

Keep the return window in mind. We give you 30 days to make sure the size, color and style are right for your room, so you can order with confidence.

Where to Start

If you’re not sure where to begin, start with the room that bothers you most. A living room usually benefits the most from a new rug because it anchors the seating and sets the tone of the space. A bedroom rug adds softness first thing in the morning, and a dining room rug gives a table setting a finished look. Hallways and entryways are often overlooked, and a good runner there can change how the whole home feels.

A Few Honest Questions We Hear Often

Is Columbus Day a good time to buy a rug? Yes. The long weekend gives you time to measure your space, compare options without rushing and take delivery before the busy fall and holiday season. A sale on top of that makes it a sensible moment to replace the rug you have been meaning to change.

Are handmade rugs on sale lower quality? No. A sale changes the price, not how a rug is made. A handmade rug on sale is still made by skilled weavers in the same way as at any other time of year.

How do I find the best rugs on sale? Start with the room and size you need, then browse the sale sorted by best-selling. Best-sellers show which designs other households are choosing, which is a more reliable signal than a discount alone.

What if the rug is not the right size or color? You have 30 days to make sure the size, color and style are right for your room, so you can order with confidence.
