Why Bunnings’ New Rug Range is Worth Your Attention
When it comes to buying a new rug, many people might not immediately think of Bunnings as their go-to store. However, this is about to change. The Australian retailer has recently launched a selection of rugs that are both stylish and practical, and they’re making waves in the home décor scene. To help you decide which one to choose, two professional stylists have shared their top picks.
Are Bunnings Rugs of Good Quality?
Both stylists agree that while these rugs are budget-friendly, they don’t compromise on durability. Lucy, a well-known interior stylist, says: “At this price point, people can’t expect luxury, but they should still get beautiful color and pattern made from durable materials that won’t wear out quickly.” Tara, another expert in the field, adds that the MaxFind and La’Grace Home ranges are made from polypropylene and polyester and are typically power-loomed, meaning they are machine-woven. This makes them “affordable yet very durable and long-lasting.”
Stylists’ Top Picks
Lucy’s Picks
Lucy was impressed by the variety of colors and patterns available in the current range. She highlights three rugs that she believes are perfect for 2026. “The current rug styles that are selling well right now have bold, strong lines with vibrant pastel colors. Browns are also doing well and feel very chic when paired with warm neutrals and putty colors,” she explains.
Loopsie-230cm X 160cm – Kumu Green and Beige Washable Rug, $189
Lucy says, “The green wavy rug feels like it could be from a more expensive competitor brand. A strong, bold pattern in green (a colour which will never go out of style!).”
MaxFind 140 x 200cm Washable Imagine Rug, $49
“The sky blue rug is perfect for a bedroom or living space. Blues and greens don’t go out of style because they mimic the colours we see in nature outside our windows.”
MaxFind 160 x 230cm Burgundy Ronni Striation Rug, $70
Lucy says, “I love pairing a chocolate rug with a cream sofa. I think the combo works so well with accessories like rattan and stone.”
Tara’s Picks
Tara notes that abstract, distressed-style rugs are currently very popular, bringing a modern, contemporary element to any space. “The colours are often muted but add a soft pop to a room without introducing another style or design element,” she says.
Single-colour rugs are also trending, using texture to create visual interest. “These rugs are usually in the trending natural, textured, earthy colours,” she adds.
If she had to choose, Tara points to two Bunnings rug ranges that stand out: the MaxFind range and La Grace Home.
MaxFind 300 x 400cm Crystal Velvet Warm Whisper Rug, $149
Tara says, “The single-colour tone rug with added texture through the pile is very popular, along with the modern distressed look that the range caters for.”
La’Grace Home Ornate Persian Vintage Rug Ocean Blue – 160 x 230 cm, $470
La Grace Home, meanwhile, “delivers on that modern, abstract, geometric look which adds a sophistication to any room,” says Tara.
MaxFind 300 x 400cm Renaissance Patina Rug, $249
The MaxFind Renaissance Patina Rug is a great example of the sought-after abstract, distressed look.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bunnings Rugs
What Size Rug Do I Need?
Both stylists agree that going bigger than you think is the way to go. Tara warns that “people tend to buy too small,” adding that “a rug should be larger than your sofa” and that “a larger rug adds style and comfort to your living room, bedroom, dining room, or even your office.” Lucy agrees: “Buy the biggest rug you can afford for your space. Small rugs make the space feel downmarket. You can fake luxury with a large rug that fits underneath your bed or sofa legs!”
Are Bunnings Rugs Washable?
Some rugs in the Bunnings range, including select MaxFind styles, are machine washable. Polypropylene rugs can also simply be hosed down and left to dry outdoors, making them a practical choice for busy households.
What Is the Best Rug Material?
Polypropylene is the most practical choice for most homes. It’s durable, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. The MaxFind and La’Grace Home ranges at Bunnings are made from polypropylene and polyester, making them a solid everyday option. Viscose adds a softer, silkier finish but is better suited to lower-traffic areas.
How Long Will the Bunnings Rug Range Be Available?
The Bunnings rug range is a limited seasonal release available while stocks last. It typically lands in autumn and sells out quickly, so it’s worth buying sooner rather than later.
