Our Story

Back in early 2005, we had a simple but bold idea to make extraordinary rugs accessible to everyone who appreciates beauty, quality, and integrity, without the designer price tag. We believed that great craftsmanship shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for a few, and that every home deserves a rug that tells a story.

What began as a small passion project quickly became a trusted name in Atlanta. Today, Designer Rug Warehouse stands proudly in the heart of the Westside Design District, surrounded by creativity, design, and community.

Over the past two decades, we’ve been honored to work with interior designers, architects, filmmakers, home builders, and local families, people who, like you, see a rug not just as décor, but as the foundation of a beautiful space.

Every rug we carry is ethically sourced and carefully hand-selected from master artisans and trusted manufacturers worldwide. From hand-knotted heirlooms and one-of-a-kind traditional pieces to sleek contemporary designs and durable power-loomed rugs, we curate our collection with one goal in mind: to bring you lasting beauty and honest value.

When you visit our 5,000-square-foot gallery inside Direct Furniture & The Modernist’s 30,000-square-foot design space, you’ll find more than 1,500 rugs waiting to be discovered; all displayed for easy browsing, so that you can explore at your own pace. Our friendly, knowledgeable team is always nearby to help you find the perfect rug for your lifestyle.

After twenty years, our mission remains the same: to offer gorgeous rugs, fair prices, and a genuine experience that makes your house feel like home.

We invite you to stop by, explore, and discover why Designer Rug Warehouse remains Atlanta’s most trusted source for authentic craftsmanship and timeless style.
