Our Story

Helping Australians Find the Right Rug Since 1993

Rug Addiction began in 1993, when founder Tamara Thompson turned her love of beautiful rugs and interior design into a business dedicated to helping people find the right rug for their home. More than three decades later, that same passion remains at the heart of Rug Addiction. From our home in Kangaroo Flat, Bendigo, we carefully curate a diverse collection of floor rugs, hall runners and custom-length runners for homes throughout Australia. We're proudly independent, experienced and passionate about what we do.

A Rug Is More Than Something You Put on the Floor

We understand that the things you choose for your home are personal. A rug can completely change the way a room feels. It can bring warmth to a living space, define an open-plan room, add colour and texture, or simply make a home feel more complete. That's why we don't believe choosing a rug should just be about following the latest trend. The right rug needs to work with your room, your furniture and the way you live. It's also why personalised service continues to be such an important part of Rug Addiction.

A Carefully Curated Collection

With more than 30 years of experience in the rug industry, we know there is an enormous difference between simply stocking rugs and curating a collection. We work with leading Australian rug suppliers and brands to bring together a collection chosen for its design, quality, colour, texture and value. Our range includes everything from contemporary and designer rugs to beautiful wool and natural fibre rugs, washable designs, indoor/outdoor rugs and extra large rugs for spacious Australian homes. Rather than trying to offer every rug available, we focus on finding pieces that we believe deserve a place in our collection.

Specialists in Hall Runners

Hall runners have become an important part of what we do at Rug Addiction. Alongside our standard runner collection, we specialise in custom-length hall runners, with selected designs available on long rolls that can be cut specifically to suit your hallway. Once your required length is cut, the ends are professionally overlocked to create a beautifully finished runner for your space. Our team can also help with measuring and choosing the most appropriate runner for your home.

Experience Makes a Difference

After more than three decades working with rugs, we've learned that choosing the right rug isn't always as simple as picking a colour you like. Size, furniture placement, flooring, room proportions, texture, material and lifestyle all play a part. Our team can help you work through those decisions. Whether you're standing in our Bendigo showroom or contacting us from the other side of Australia, you'll be dealing with real people who know our rugs and can provide genuine advice. If you're unsure about size, send us your room measurements. If you're struggling with colour, send us photos of your space. If you need a long runner for an unusual hallway, talk to us about your measurements. We're here to make choosing easier.
