Can I choose the colors for my rug(s)?

Yes, you can. It is actually the way that I have come up with many of the color combinations that we currently carry. We have tens of thousands of pounds of upholstery trimmings, and the possibilies are endless. You can send in your paint chips, fabric or flooring samples-customers will often communicate the percentage they want in the different colors.

What is a good size rug for a family/living room?

The smallest rug that looks like an area rug is a 4′ x 6′ size. Of course, it all depends on the space you have. A typical sofa measures 7′ in length and many customers want at least this length for there area rug. (i.e. 5 x 7′, 6′ x 8′). Also, many customers like to “anchor” their rug (place the legs of the furniture on the rug).

Do you carry runners?

Yes, we do. A typical size is a 2′ x 5′ or 2′ x 6′, but we also weave runners in a 28″ and 3′ width. Runners are very popular in front of kitchen sinks, hallways, beside beds, etc.

hat is a good size for in front of a kitchen sink?

The smallest size that I recommend is a 2′ x 3′. The sink measures 33″, and anything smaller than this aesthetically just looks too small. The only exception is a corner sink, and generally customers like a 24″ length (i.e. 20″ x 24″ or 2′ x 2′).

What is a good size for under a dining room table?

Measure your table, and then add 3′ to 4′. For example, if your table measures 4′ x 6′, a 7′ x 9′ rug would give you the additional 3 foot, whereas an 8′ x 10′ would give you the additional 4 feet. This is the amount of space needed so that your chairs will still be on the rug when the chairs are extended out when dining. You will need to measure your space in the dining room to see what is the best fit.

Can you weave round rugs?

No, we cannot. The rugs will either be rectangular or square.

Can you make special sizes & shapes?

We weave all the following widths: 20″, 2′, 28", 3′, 4′, 5′, 6′, 7′ & 8′ and can weave any rug up to 25 feet in length. The rugs will always be rectangular or square in shape.

How do you care for the area rugs?

They are also machine washable. For the 4 x 6 and 5 x 8 rugs, it is best to use the double/triple capacity laundromat machines. For the 6 x 8 and larger rugs, use the 70 pound commercial laundromat machines. You also can take your rugs outdoors, hose them down, and then air dry.

What is the largest rug you can do?

The largest width is 8 foot, but we can weave any length. For example, we could make an 8 x 14 foot rug.
