Where Can I Buy a Rug Online in Singapore in 2026?

In Singapore in 2026, the main places to buy a rug online are HipVan, a local home furnishing store with a dedicated rugs section, and the marketplaces Lazada and Shopee, where many sellers list rugs and carpets at every price. HipVan's rugs section listed a couple of hundred rugs and mats at the time of writing, in materials from jute and wool to cotton and polypropylene. Compare the same size across stores, and go through ShopBack Singapore before you pay so the effective price drops.

Where can I buy a rug online in Singapore?

The quickest answer: start with HipVan for a curated home range, and check Lazada and Shopee for the widest choice of sizes and prices from many sellers. Each works differently, so it helps to know what you get from each one.

Other places Singapore shoppers look for rugs include Castlery, IKEA and Taobao, so the category is wide. This guide focuses on the three stores searched most often alongside "carpet singapore".

HipVan

According to HipVan, its rugs section sits under Accessories and covers rugs, carpets and mats, with a couple of hundred items listed at the time of writing. The filters on the HipVan site let you sort by price or delivery time and filter by colour and material, including chenille, cotton, denim, jute, leather, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, viscose and wool.

A few HipVan details worth knowing before you order:

• Delivery times vary by item. HipVan's own delivery filter ranges from 1 to 3 days for in-stock items up to more than 12 weeks for some made-to-order pieces, so check the date on the product page.
• Free shipping threshold. HipVan's site banner advertised free shipping over S$300 at the time of writing. A rug on its own may fall below that, so pairing it with other home items can change the delivery cost.
• See it in person. HipVan lists a showroom at Clarke Quay, which helps if you want to feel a texture before you order online.
• Start from ShopBack. Tap through from the HipVan page on ShopBack before you pay.

Lazada

Lazada was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Singapore, according to its Wikipedia entry. For rugs, it works as a marketplace: you will see brand stores, local sellers and overseas sellers side by side, which means wide choice and a wide range of quality. Filter by the seller's rating and location, read recent reviews with photos, and check whether the rug ships from Singapore or overseas, since that changes delivery time.

Open the Lazada page on ShopBack first, then search for your rug and check out.

Shopee

Shopee was founded in Singapore in 2015, according to its Wikipedia entry, and like Lazada it lists rugs from many sellers. Its search covers every common rug shape and size, plus washable rugs, anti-slip mats and kids' play mats. As with any marketplace, the seller's rating, the number of reviews and the shipping origin tell you more than the main photo.

Start from the Shopee page on ShopBack before you pay.

Carpet Singapore: rug or carpet, and which one you need

In Singapore, "rug" and "carpet" are used almost interchangeably online, and most stores list both in one category. A rug usually means a loose piece that covers part of the floor and can be moved, rolled up or washed. Carpet more often means a larger piece or wall-to-wall flooring. Search both words on each store, because sellers tag listings differently.

For most HDB flats and condos, a loose rug is the practical choice: it defines a living or dining zone, softens a tiled floor, and can be cleaned or replaced without a contractor.

How to choose a rug for a Singapore home

Pick the size first, then the material, then the price. Getting the size wrong is the most common reason a rug feels off once it arrives.

1. Measure the space. Use tape to mark the rug size on the floor. Online sizes are in centimetres, and room photos can make a rug look bigger than it is.
2. Living room rule of thumb. A common approach is a rug large enough for at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs to sit on it, with some bare floor showing around the edges.
3. Dining area. Chairs should stay on the rug when pulled out, so the rug usually needs to extend beyond the table on all sides.
4. Bedroom. A rug that starts under the bottom two thirds of the bed gives you soft floor on both sides when you get up.

Rug materials for humid weather

Singapore's humidity matters more than style here. As a general guide:

• Cotton and flat-woven rugs are light, often machine washable and dry faster.
• Polypropylene and polyester resist stains and moisture, which suits kitchens, homes with kids and areas near the balcony.
• Jute and other natural fibres look warm and textured but can hold moisture, so they suit dry, air-conditioned rooms better.
• Wool feels soft and lasts well but costs more and needs regular care.
• Viscose has a silky sheen but usually marks easily when wet, so it suits low-traffic rooms.

Always read the care label on the listing. Some rugs say spot clean only, which matters if you have pets or young children.

Carpet Singapore best deals in 2026

The best rug deals in Singapore in 2026 usually come from timing your order around a big sale, comparing the same rug across stores, and going through ShopBack before you pay. Practical ways to pay less:

• Compare like for like. Line up the same size and material across HipVan, Lazada and Shopee. A cheaper listing in a smaller size is not a saving.
• Count delivery. A low price with a high delivery fee can cost more in total than a slightly dearer rug with free delivery.
• Check seller ratings on marketplaces. A small saving is not worth a rug that sheds or arrives in a different colour.
• Go through ShopBack before you pay. ShopBack is a post-purchase discount: go through it before you pay and the effective price drops.

HipVan vs Lazada vs Shopee for rugs: how to compare prices

To compare rug prices across HipVan, Lazada and Shopee, compare the total you pay after ShopBack for the same size and material, not the headline price. Here is a simple way to set it out:

What to check	HipVan	Lazada	Shopee
Who sells the rug	HipVan's own range	Brand stores and many third-party sellers	Brand stores and many third-party sellers
Choice	Curated range	Very wide	Very wide
Delivery time	Shown per product, from days to weeks	Depends on seller and shipping origin	Depends on seller and shipping origin
How to start	HipVan on ShopBack	Lazada on ShopBack	Shopee on ShopBack

Compare the price after ShopBack, not the sticker price. Each store's live rate is shown on its ShopBack page and can change, so check it on the day you buy.

Illustrative example: comparing two rugs after ShopBack

This is a labelled illustrative example only, not a real offer. Say the same 160 x 230 cm rug costs S$200 at Store A and S$195 at Store B. Once the cash from ShopBack is counted, the store that looked a little dearer can work out cheaper. For the real numbers, check the live rate on each store's ShopBack page before you pay.

When do rug sales happen in Singapore?

Rug sales in Singapore usually cluster around the marketplace double-date sales, especially 9.9, 11.11 and 12.12, plus the mid-year Great Singapore Sale period and National Day in August. Store sales and their depth change every year, so treat these as the usual windows rather than fixed dates.

• 9.9, 11.11 and 12.12. Shopee has run a 9.9 Super Shopping Day campaign, according to its Wikipedia entry, and Singles' Day on 11.11 has grown in Southeast Asia, with Lazada among the platforms taking part, according to Wikipedia's Singles' Day page. These are usually the busiest sale days for home items on the marketplaces.
• Great Singapore Sale and National Day. Many local retailers run promotions in the middle of the year and around National Day in August.
• Year-end. 12.12 and the run-up to Christmas often bring clearance on remaining stock.
• Store sale pages. HipVan has a Sale section on its site, so check it before you order, whatever the month.

Sale price plus money back through ShopBack is the usual way to pay least during big sales. Before you pay, open the store from ShopBack, then check out.

HipVan vs Lazada for a rugs sale
