A lounge rug anchors the sofa and coffee table without needing a five-figure floor covering. These living-room sized rugs from NZ retailers are all under $500 (and at least $200), with bath mats and kids rugs filtered out.
Lounge rugs under $500
Room rugs from about 120 × 160 cm up, priced in the $300–$500 band so you see options closer to the cap first. Diversified across NZ retailers. For a tighter budget, see our lounge rugs under $300 guide.
Larger lounge rugs (still under $500)
Bigger footprints - roughly 160 × 230 cm and up - for open-plan lounges where a small rug looks lost under a three-seater.
Smaller accent rugs under $500
Compact living-room rugs for apartments, reading corners, or layering in front of a sofa - still lounge-appropriate, just not the full open-plan size.
Dimensions are sourced from retailers and may not include packaging or assembly tolerance. Always confirm on the retailer's site before buying. If a listing looks wrong, use Wrong dimensions? on that product - we re-check the retailer page and update when we can.
