Area rugs can cover a lot of ground. Most of the rooms in your home — including foyers, living rooms, bedrooms, and even the kitchen — are begging for a rug to visually pull all the furniture together and add a dose of coziness. And sometimes, rugs just look cute. Such is the case with the Threshold Global Wool Accent Rug Blue at Target. At 2 by 3 feet, it's more of an accent piece than an area rug. But with a bold tribal print, it can still pull focus in all the best ways.

Even better, it's made from wool, one of the most desirable rug materials. And at just $30 — some $70 less than typical wool rugs of the same size — it's a great way to get a luxury wool rug on a massive discount. The reason that wool tends to leave buyers, well, floored is that it's known for its durability and natural stain resistance, allowing it to hold up even in high-traffic areas. Wool rugs also tend to have a soft feel underfoot and while they can be tougher to clean, there are plenty of strategies to keep them looking good as new.

The over 20 buyers who gave Threshold's piece a 4.7-star average rating praised the tight weave and thickness of the medium pile. While some noted that the cotton backing tended to slip around on hardwood, that could be fixed with a rug pad or double-sided rug tape. Plus, the 77% of customers who gave it 5 stars said the design made up for any shortcomings. "The colors are bold and vibrant in the pattern," raved one, "and I like that it's a unique print."

Thanks to the rich jewel tones — navy, rust, ochre — the piece truly is a hidden gem, swear buyers. One praised the aesthetic appeal for "featuring an attractive color palette that facilitates seamless integration with various decor styles." Indeed, by incorporating designs and textiles from all around the world, global-inspired interior design creates a space that feels carefully curated and collected over time. Not only does it ensure that your space is unique to your personality, it can also be an anything goes situation design-wise. It's a bit of a bohemian style and definitely not a minimalist vibe, which means you could pair your global patterned rug with a variety of colors, prints, and textures.

To allow the rug's pattern to be the star, consider using more neutral hues for the rest of the flooring, walls, and large furniture pieces. Then you can play around with other accent pieces, choosing similarly bold saturated hues to play off the jewel tones in the rug. Natural materials also tend to complement globally-inspired textiles, so you can layer pieces like a rattan accent cabinet, a handwoven jute basket, a leather chair, or a sizable terracotta vase to create a space that feels grounded and visually harmonious.
