Premium area rugs for modern living

What size area rug do you need?

Selecting the right size creates a balanced, finished look.

For living rooms, choose a rug large enough for at least the front legs of your furniture to rest on it. Dining room rugs should extend beyond the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.

In bedrooms, larger rugs provide a soft surface around the bed, while runners are ideal for hallways, kitchens, and entryways.

If you're unsure which size works best, we offer free in-home estimates and a convenient mobile showroom to help you visualize your options.

Which rug shape is best?

Rectangle rugs remain the most popular, but other shapes can enhance your space.

Round rugs soften square rooms and work beautifully beneath dining tables or in entryways.

Oval rugs offer timeless appeal, while square rugs complement balanced layouts. Runners are perfect for hallways, stair landings, and other narrow spaces.

We'll help you choose a shape that fits both your room and furniture arrangement.

How do you choose the right rug color and pattern?

The right rug should complement your home's style without overwhelming the room.

Light colors can make spaces feel larger and brighter, while darker shades create warmth and help disguise everyday wear. Neutral rugs provide long-lasting versatility, while bold colors and patterns create eye-catching focal points.

Whether you prefer traditional, geometric, abstract, or contemporary designs, our in-house design consultants can help you coordinate your rug with your existing flooring and furnishings.

Which area rug material is best?

Your ideal rug depends on how the room is used.

• Wool rugs offer natural softness, durability, and timeless beauty.
• Synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, polypropylene, and triexta provide excellent stain resistance, durability, and easy maintenance, making them popular for active households with kids and pets.
• Natural fibers like sisal, jute, and seagrass add organic texture and casual style.

We'll help you compare materials and choose the option that fits your needs and budget.

Looking for a custom area rug?

Sometimes the perfect rug simply doesn't come in the right size. That's why we offer professional carpet and area rug binding services.

Our team can transform many carpet styles into custom-sized area rugs with clean, finished edges that resist fraying. Custom rug binding is ideal for oversized rooms, home offices, stair landings, bedrooms, and unique floor plans. It's also a great way to create matching rugs from leftover carpet after a flooring installation.

With custom binding, you can enjoy a rug that's made specifically for your home.

How do you care for area rugs?

Proper care helps preserve your rug's appearance for years.

Vacuum regularly, rotate the rug every six to twelve months, and clean spills immediately by blotting instead of rubbing. Using a quality rug pad helps prevent slipping, protects your flooring, and reduces wear. Professional cleaning every few years can remove embedded dirt and restore your rug's appearance.

Our team is happy to recommend the best maintenance routine based on your rug's material.
