Understanding Area Rug Styles and Pricing
Rug Types & Cost
The cost spectrum of area rugs is just as wide and varied as the rugs. Area rugs can be very inexpensive (cotton and synthetic) or phenomenally expensive (ancient weaves) depending on the material used, how they were made, and the degree of artistry or intricacy in their design.
Handmade wool, 100% silk or wool and silk Oriental or Persian rugs have been known to last hundreds of years and just seem to increase in value. Meanwhile, relatively new are the "machine made" rugs, made with sophisticated design patterns on computerized looms that can mimic more intricate and labor-intensive handmade rugs at greatly reduced costs

FAQs About Carpet Binding & Area Rugs
What is carpet binding, and how does it work?
Carpet binding is the process of finishing the edges of a carpet remnant to create a custom rug. Using specialized binding materials, the edges are sealed to prevent fraying while adding a polished look. This allows you to turn any carpet into a perfectly tailored rug for your space.
Can I customize the size and shape of my rug?
Absolutely, with carpet binding you can create a rug in virtually any size or shape to fit your unique space. Whether you need a round rug for a cozy nook or a large rectangle to anchor your living room, we can help design a custom rug that suits your needs.
