18 Cheap Runner Rugs for Your Home That Don’t Cut Corners on Style

You won’t have to compromise on style to stay on budget with these runners. Here are 18 (gorgeous!) cheap runner rugs to choose from that are all less than $30!

I think rugs are a great way to not only bring style and pattern to a space, but to also cozy up a room. Whether you’re layering a rug on top of hardwood floors or a solid carpeted room, it instantly makes it feel a little more like home to me.

The problem, as many of you may well know is that rugs can be expensive. Sure, we all expect larger area rugs to be more expensive, but when I went looking for a runner rug or two to go in my kitchen and hallway, I was baffled by how expensive some of them were. The thing with runner rugs is that they are often placed in high traffic areas – like my kitchen and hallway I just mentioned. And so, they often get dirty faster than larger area rugs. Who wants to spend $100 or more on a rug that is going to see that much foot traffic? Not me!

Therefore, I made it my personal mission to find affordable runner rugs.

I’ve gathered eighteen runners in all styles and colors and they are all under $30.

Full disclaimer now, each of these was $30 or less at the time of me writing this post. Don’t go blaming me if they’ve increased by $5 or $10. While I wish I could control the pricing of such items, I am but a girl with absolutely zero connections to that industry. 😂 I will try to update this post as needed to reflect new affordable rugs.

Cheap Hallway Runners

Many of these come in multiple different colors, so if you like the style, but not the color, click over and see what else they have. If you’re in the market for an area rug for your living room or even kitchen / dining area, many also come in larger sizes as well and are still affordable.

Neutral Runners

Geometric Runner Rug

This is one of my faves! It has a classic greek key feel. It also comes in a black background / cream design and I adore it.

cheap hallway runners - gray and silver detailed pattern rug

Detailed Runner Rug

This one still has neutral colors, but a more detailed pattern – could hide stains better if that became an issue!

Grey Toned Runner Rugs

At $22, this is practically a steal! I’m usually not a gray decor person, but this one has enough detail in the pattern that I really like it.

Same classic pattern, but with a punch of color. I think this would be fun in a kids room! Both of these come in multiple other colors and sizes.

Bold Colorful Runner Rugs

No color is off limits with this one! Lots of pretty colors and details to work with.

Touch of Color Runners

    The ” 18 Cheap Runner Rugs ” drew me attention and I was hopeful for an economical resolution to my issue. After clicking on every link I was EXTREMELY disappointed. After all, in the current status of economic times for many of us, we all are seeking a way to stretch our paychecks much further than possible ! Every option listed here is much higher than the $ 20 to $ 30 that I had expected. Maybe it’s time to update the information …
