In January 1980, we opened The Rug Merchant division so that designers would have a local venue for all types of area rugs. Today, The Rug Merchant has grown to be in the top 10% in size of all area rug stores in the United States. We are proud of our growth and want you to be a part of it. - Terry Lewis, owner.

Sometimes a room doesn't need new furniture. It just needs the right rug.

The right size can make a room feel larger. The right color can warm up a space. The right texture can make everything feel more inviting.

It's amazing how one piece can completely transform the look and feel of a room.

Come explore our showroom at 1019 Lincoln Avenue in Evansville and see what the right rug can do for your space.

One of our favorite things to hear is, "Our real estate agent told us to come see you."

There's so much to think about after buying a home, and finding the right rug shouldn't add more stress.

We love helping new homeowners find the finishing pieces that make a house feel warm, comfortable, and complete.

If you're a real estate agent looking for trusted local businesses to recommend after closing, we'd love to take great care of your clients.

Your entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home.

A softer, neutral runner creates a calm and welcoming feel, while a bold pattern adds personality the moment guests walk through the door.

Same space. Two completely different first impressions. Which one feels more like your style?

Ordering a rug online sounds easy...until you're trying to roll up an 8x10 and figure out how to ship it back.

Shopping in person takes the guesswork out of the process. You can compare sizes, feel the texture, see the true colors, and leave knowing exactly what you're bringing home.

It's one of the biggest reasons our customers choose to shop with us instead of ordering online.

Pinterest is great for inspiration, but when it's time to make recommendations for your clients, nothing compares to seeing rugs in person.

Colors look different in natural light. Texture changes the feel of a room. And sometimes, the perfect rug is the one you never would have picked from a screen.

That's why designers continue to visit our showroom. With hundreds of rugs to compare and decades of experience to help guide the process, we're here to help you find the finishing piece your project needs.

We'd love to work with you on your next design—contact us today and let's get started!

The rug you love in the store isn't always the rug you should buy.

Lighting, wall color, flooring, and even the size of your room can completely change how a rug looks once it's at home.

That's why we ask so many questions before making a recommendation. Our goal isn't just to help you find a beautiful rug, it's to help you find the right rug for your space.

Sometimes a few minutes of expert guidance can save years of wishing you'd chosen differently.

A rug can completely change a room—but only if it’s the right one.

Online, it’s hard to tell what the color actually looks like, how thick it feels, or whether the size will work once it’s in your home.

That’s why people still come shop in person. You can see it, touch it, compare options side by side, and get guidance from people who’ve been helping customers find the right rug for decades.

Sometimes the easier option isn’t actually easier.
