Magic carpet rides were the most frequently used transport for workaday shamans and mystic businessmen until an unresolved labor strike permanently stranded the burdened bearers on the ground. Add some magic to your home with today's Groupon: for $50, you get $150 worth of rugs and more at Capel Rugs on Deep Rock Road.

Capel's floor décor experts help shoppers sift through more than 10,000 styles to find high-quality ground garments suitable for all tastes and spaces. Established in 1917, the company still spins, dyes, weaves, and stitches its sturdy American Original braided rugs from a home base in Troy, North Carolina. In addition to the classics, Capel stocks outdoor options, kid-friendly rugs such as the 3' x 5' Playtime Starburst ($138), carpet maintenance accessories, and pieces woven from commonly recycled materials, such as the 3' x 5' Lariat Rug's reclaimed upholstery leather, as well as cast-off sock puppet sweaters and rom-com plots ($58).

Modern-minded decorators may migrate toward the new line of contemporary area rugs created in partnership with designer, architect, and painter Kevin O'Brien. The op art–influenced pattern of the 3' x 5' Droplets Rug is sure to win over budding Escher scholars and distract guests from door-to-door sales robots ($158). Capel pledges to beat competitor prices and also encourages buyers to take new rugs home for a 30-day trial run to make sure they don't clash with existing tapestry pets.
