Where to Find Affordable Vintage Rugs and Runners

I’ve always loved the timeless elegance and style an authentic vintage runner or rug brings to a kitchen, entryway, bathroom, or any room in the home! The great thing is, if you know where to look, it’s easy to find affordable vintage rugs and runners in every size, pattern, and color range.

What are Oushak rugs?

The type of vintage rugs and runners I love are Oushak (pronounced ü-ˈshäk).  Also called Ushak or Anatolian rugs, Oushak runners and rugs are named after the city of Usak, Turkey.

These beautiful rugs and runners have a distinctive design and employ soft pastels, pink, cinnamon, terra cotta, blue, ivory, and saffron as their primary colors.

The particular type of wool used in creating these rugs adds to their luminous nature.

How to Decorate with Vintage Rugs and Runners in Your Home

Vintage Oushak runners look amazing in any space and bring the perfect pop of color and timeless finishing touch to a hallway, kitchen, entryway, laundry room, dining room, bathroom, or bedroom. 

I have a vintage Oushak rug in my home office and love the warmth and color it brings to the space.

Here are a few images showing how to use authentic vintage runners and rugs in your home:

Where to Find Affordable Vintage Rugs and Runners

Although many vintage rugs and runners run in the thousands, I’ve rounded up some of the best affordable vintage Turkish runners and rugs for you below, most of which are less than $500!

These vintage Oushak runners and rugs are from different sellers, so make sure to check out the seller ratings and reviews before you purchase. 

Tips to make shopping for vintage Turkish rugs and runners easier

Vintage Turkish runners and rugs come in many sizes, so to save time, I suggest measuring your space before you shop and making a note of the size ranges that will work for you. 

You can then search by rug size to narrow down your options.  If the size of the rug or runner isn’t listed in the description, you can find it by clicking on “Item Details” followed by “Read Full Description.”

You can often narrow down your search results by color (i.e., pink, orange, gray, or muted) as well.

Affordable Vintage Rugs and Runners

I update this list of affordable Oushak rugs once or twice a month, but because these runners and rugs are truly one-of-a-kind, they do sell out quickly. 

Have a wonderful day! xo jane
