Collection: All Rugs
Every rug, every room, every budget. Found here.
A rug is the single interior purchase with the greatest effect per square metre. It defines space, absorbs sound, anchors furniture and brings warmth, colour and texture to a floor that would otherwise do none of these things. The question is not whether a rug belongs in your space. The question is which one.
At Onlinetapijten, you will find the full range: machine-made polypropylene constructions from under a hundred euros, handwoven wool pieces built to last decades, washable everyday rugs, outdoor-grade flatweaves, and made-to-measure pieces finished to your exact specification. Every construction, every price point, every room. Whether you prefer to browse online or visit a rug shop in person, we have you covered on both fronts.
Start with the Room
In the living room, a rug anchors the seating arrangement and gives the room its sense of scale. Go larger than feels comfortable on paper: a rug that sits only beneath the coffee table without catching at least the front legs of the sofa is too small and will look it. In the bedroom, soft pile and calm colour are the priorities. In the kitchen, low pile and washability come first. The dining room requires a format large enough that chairs remain on the rug when pulled out. Outdoor rugs need weather-resistant construction that handles moisture and UV without fading across seasons.
Choose the Right Material
At the accessible end, machine-made polypropylene and polyester rugs offer durability, stain resistance and a wide design range at an honest price. They are a sensible first rug for a new home, a busy family space, or any room that sees heavy use. Washable constructions in cotton or synthetic fibres take this further: Lorena Canals, for example, produces organic cotton rugs that machine-wash at 30 degrees without losing colour or shape.
Wool is the benchmark material for quality rugs. It compresses underfoot and recovers, regulates temperature, resists surface soiling and ages well. The finest constructions are handwoven in wool, where the surface changes with the light and the quality improves with time rather than declining.
Sizes, Shapes and Made to Measure
Round rugs work well beneath a single chair, in an entrance hall, or as a counterpoint to a room of straight lines. Oversized formats from 250 x 350 cm upwards suit open-plan spaces where a standard size simply disappears. Runners address long, narrow zones in hallways, kitchens and alongside beds.
For rooms with unusual dimensions or precise requirements, we are specialists in made-to-measure rugs: the piece produced to your exact width and length, finished and bound to standard. Several of the brands we carry, including Perletta and Brink & Campman, offer made-to-measure across their full collections. If you cannot find the right size, the right size can be made.
The Brands Behind the Rugs
Our own Rugsman line is curated in-house for everyday quality at accessible prices: practical constructions in designs that work, selected for durability and value without cutting corners.
Louis de Poortere has woven in Belgium for over 165 years. Their flatwoven constructions in recycled cotton chenille and their jacquard-woven designs carry a level of design ambition and circular production commitment that sets them apart from standard manufacture.
Brink & Campman is a Dutch design house whose hand-tufted wool collections treat the rug as a piece of textile art: bold, richly textured and built for long-term quality. Collections like Marble, Pop Art and Rocks are as much a design statement as a floor covering.
Marimekko brings Finnish design heritage to the rug format. Their iconic prints, from the graphic Unikko floral to the geometric Tiiliskivi, are hand-tufted in wool and produce a quality of colour and pattern that no machine print can replicate.
Perletta handweaves in Morocco using New Zealand wool. Each piece is made to order, the surface changes with the light throughout the day, and the colour precision results from a dyeing process that most manufacturers cannot match. Layered from Stockholm works with artists and architects on hand-woven and handcrafted rugs in natural fibres and recycled PET: considered, quietly precise and built to last.
Onlinetapijten is a Belgian rug shop with a showroom in Willebroek in the Antwerp region, easily accessible from Antwerp, Brussels, Mechelen and Sint-Niklaas. Rugs are displayed across all price points and constructions in realistic room settings, under both natural and artificial light, so you can compare materials, textures and colours before ordering. Our team advises without pressure, whether you arrive with a precise brief or simply want to explore what is possible.
Free EU delivery on all orders. 30-day returns on our standard collection.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right rug?
Start with the room and its function. In the living room, the rug should be large enough to anchor the seating: at least the front legs of all main furniture pieces should rest on it. In the bedroom, prioritise softness and calm colour. In the kitchen and dining room, choose a low-pile or flatwoven construction that is easy to clean. Once you have the function, move to material. For high-traffic areas, polypropylene or polyester machine-made rugs are the most practical. For rooms where quality and longevity matter, wool is the benchmark. If you are unsure, our team is available to advise online or in our showroom in Willebroek.
Can I get a rug made to my exact size?
Yes. We are specialists in made-to-measure rugs, with several brands in our collection offering this service across their full range. Perletta and Brink & Campman, for example, produce rugs to your exact width and length, finished and bound to standard. Made-to-measure is particularly useful for rooms with unusual proportions, long hallways, or open-plan spaces where a standard format does not fit cleanly. The lead time varies by brand and construction, typically four to eight weeks. Contact our team or visit our showroom in Willebroek for a personalised consultation.
Where can I see rugs in person near Antwerp or Brussels?
Our showroom in Willebroek is one of the largest rug shops in Belgium, centrally located between Antwerp, Brussels, Mechelen and Sint-Niklaas. Rugs are displayed across all price points and constructions in realistic room settings, under both natural and artificial light. You can compare textures, colours and pile heights in person, with personal advice from our team. No appointment is necessary, though we are happy to arrange a dedicated styling session if you would like focused guidance. The showroom is easily accessible by car and is signposted from the main routes between Antwerp and Brussels.
What is the difference between machine-made and handmade rugs?
Machine-made rugs are woven on power looms and offer consistent quality, a wide range of designs and accessible prices. They are the most practical choice for high-traffic areas, family homes, or rooms where easy maintenance matters most. Hand-tufted rugs are made by pushing yarn through a canvas backing by hand, producing a denser, softer surface than machine construction at a mid-range price point. Handwoven rugs are made on a loom without a canvas backing, creating a flat surface with a different kind of depth and precision. The finest level is the handknotted rug, where each knot is tied individually, producing a surface that improves with age and is built to last for decades.
