Hi! I’m Kathy, and I’m so excited to be bringing you this round up of 25 Rugs You’d Never Guess were Painted!
Would you like to update your room with a fabulous area rug? But, the thought of spending hundreds of dollars has you saying, “No Way!”  Relax, adding a new design and color to your space is as easy as a DIY painted rug. Join me on a magic carpet ride to see 25 Rugs You’d Never Guess were Painted.
Can you believe this Aztec inspired rug from Nellie Bellie was created from a drop cloth and cut sponges? I will never look at a painter’s drop cloth the same way again.

This spectacular outdoor rug was created by Jennifer using stencils and spray paint. I’d buy this rug in a store any day!

Striped rugs are very trendy, but they can cost a small fortune. Tape off some stripes and you too can have this awesome striped sisal rug.

A plain vanilla door mat got its cheery vibe from a stencil and paint. It’s almost too pretty to wipe your feet on!

Kayla bought a $15 Walmart rug and transformed it into a beautiful addition to her guest room. I bet you’ll be making a trip to Walmart soon to look at their rug selection. Am I right?

Ten minutes. That’s all Beth spent turning this rug into a bold statement runner. She simply painted a pink and an orange stripe on this rug in her hallway.

Sarah made this welcoming row house door mat in less than 30 minutes using exterior house paint and painters tape. You can’t even run to the store to buy a rug and get home in 30 minutes. Go ahead, break out your paints and give yourself a new door mat.

Elaine hated the rug she ordered online. But, she fixed that problem with paint and an artistic flair. Now her rug doesn’t compete with her leopard stair runner. You have to see both together to appreciate the true beauty.

Bethany created this elegant living room rug without spending any money! None, zero, zip! I don’t want to give away all her secrets, but I will say she used a leftover can of spray paint.

I’m in love with Toni’s Painted Vinyl Sheet Flooring rug. Pink Polka dots is the cutest idea for a craft space or a child’s room!

You would never guess what was underneath this colorful doormat. Nope, don’t even try to guess. Let’s just say that Melissa got a hold of it and banished the old design out to sea.

Amy loved her plush memory foam runner, but thought it lacked style and grace. She gave it a beautiful makeover and she and her runner lived happily ever after.

Cassity’s rug was making her feel a little blue. She added a pop of pink by painting color inside the lines of this rug and now she’s happy once again.
