Tempe packs a lot into a small city: high-rise condos along Tempe Town Lake, historic and mid-century neighborhoods near ASU, and established family homes in south Tempe. Wherever you live, the area rugs sold at chain stores nearby are mostly machine-made or hand-tufted. They are cheap at first, but they shed, flatten, and end up replaced every few years.
A hand-knotted wool rug is a better buy. It lasts for generations, moves with you from home to home, and can be cleaned and repaired whenever it needs it. Baluchi Rug Gallery carries over 7,000 handmade area rugs at our gallery in Old Town Scottsdale, about 15 minutes from downtown Tempe. We also bring rugs to your Tempe home or condo for a free in-home trial. Our family has been in the handmade rug business for more than 30 years.
Rugs for Tempe's Homes and Neighborhoods
Condos & Lofts Near Town Lake and Downtown
Concrete and tile floors, big windows, and open living areas make condos echo. A dense wool rug softens sound for you and for the neighbors below, defines the living area in an open plan, and adds warmth to a minimal space. A 6x9 or 8x10 usually fits a condo living room, and a runner works in a long entry.
Historic & Mid-Century Homes
Neighborhoods like Maple-Ash and Mitchell Park, and the mid-century ranch homes found across north and central Tempe, have character worth keeping. Graphic tribal rugs and flat-woven Kilims pair naturally with mid-century furniture, and classic Persian designs suit older homes with original wood floors.
Family Homes in South Tempe
Established neighborhoods like The Lakes and Warner Ranch have larger living and family rooms that take an 8x10 or 9x12. Durable wool in a multi-color pattern stands up to kids, pets, and everyday traffic.
Buying Your First Handmade Rug
Many of our customers here are buying their first real rug. A few tips:
Start With a Size That Moves
A 5x7, 6x9, or runner fits almost any future home, so your first rug keeps working after you move.
Look at Tribal & Kazak Rugs
They are some of the best values in hand-knotted rugs: genuine wool, bold character, and accessible prices.
Consider a Kilim
Flat-woven Kilims are lightweight, easy to roll up and move, and work on floors, walls, or layered over larger rugs.
Make Sure It Is Hand-Knotted
Turn it over. If the back is canvas or glued, it is tufted. Learn the difference in hand-knotted vs. hand-tufted rugs.
What Size Rug for Each Room in a Tempe Home
Tempe has everything from studio lofts to large family homes. Here is a quick guide:
| Room | Rug size |
|---|---|
| Condo or loft living area | 6x9 or 8x10 |
| Living room in a house | 8x10 or 9x12 |
| Small dining table, 4 seats | 6x9 |
| Dining room, 6 seats | 8x10 |
| Bedroom, queen bed | 8x10 |
| Home office or reading nook | 4x6 or 5x7 |
| Long entry or hallway | Runner, 6 to 10 feet |
| Entry or bedside | 2x3 or 3x5 |
In a living area, the front legs of the sofa and chairs should rest on the rug so the space reads as one room. Under a dining table, leave about 24 inches of rug past the table on each side. If your space is an unusual shape, our custom rug program can make a hand-knotted rug to fit.
