Three Reasons to Consider a Custom Rug for Your Home

There are so many beautiful area rugs out there, but at the end of the day, any interior designer will tell you there’s nothing quite like the one-of-a-kind fit of a custom piece. Here, we break down the most common scenarios for considering the custom rug route.

When You’re Incorporating Overlay Rugs

One way to utilize a custom rug: layer it with another one. Interior designers often use overlay rugs (a smaller rug that gets layered on top of a larger one) to make a space feel more intimate. In larger rooms significantly, layering can help create defined “zones.” Overlay rugs, exceptionally high texture or hide ones, can also help make a space feel cozier. When you’re layering rugs, the larger and smaller ones must be cohesive regarding pattern, color, and material. That’s where opting for a custom rug will likely be helpful because you can ensure the pair matches ideally.

When You Need a Cut-to-Fit Rug

Incorporating a plush area rug that perfectly suits your space can make all the difference. At the same time, it can be a challenge to find a ready-made rug that does fit like a glove if the room you’re furnishing isn’t perfectly rectangular. Fortunately, your interior designer can help you find a local rug expert who can create a template of your space and cut it to the room’s exact dimensions for a perfect fit. The finished product will fill the room and visually expand the living area while stopping six to eight inches away from the walls to give a little peek at the flooring underneath.

When You Want a Rug, That Perfectly Complements Your Space

There’s a certain level of design cohesion that only a custom rug can give you. For example, with a custom stair runner, you can design the carpet so that patterned elements or woven borders fall precisely where you want them on each stair tread. The Massachusetts-based rug company Merida is one manufacturer that specializes in this service.
