Custom Area Rugs

Personalize your space with a custom area rug, made just for you.

1. Make Your Carpet Selection

We have hundreds of beautiful carpet styles to choose from, all of which can be cut and bound to fit perfectly in your space. You can see most of them in our online carpet catalog.

Consider color and pattern while making your selection. Lighter colors can make a room seem more spacious, while darker colors can give a room a more cozy atmosphere. Also, if your rug is going in a high-traffic area, consider bold patterns as they are better at hiding stains and worn areas.

2. Measure Your Space

You want to make sure that you keep at least 18 inches of bare floor exposed around the edges of the rug. That being said, keep in mind that a larger rug can make a room appear larger. In general, 8×11 or 9×12 rugs work best for living rooms. Placing all of the furniture on top of the rug or just the coffee table and front legs of sofas and chairs are both acceptable. In the dining room, make sure the rug is large enough for all the legs of the chairs to sit comfortably on the rug, even when pulled out (but still keeping those 18 inches between the rug and wall). And in bedrooms, you can place smaller rugs along the sides of the bed and at the foot of the bed, or one large rug—placed horizontally—under the bed while still exposed at the foot and sides. The image pictured here shows our general suggestions of area rug placement, however of course it all comes down to what you like personally!
