Custom Rugs

Shape. Size. Color.

Finding the right area rug for your space can be challenging. You might find a pattern you love, but the size is completely wrong for your furniture layout, leaving it looking like an awkward “postage stamp.” Or, a design might be absolutely perfect—except for the color palette.

The Rug Gallery offers premium custom rugs for that exact reason. Right here in our Cincinnati showroom, we are ready to help you design and fabricate an area rug tailored precisely to your home.

Right pattern, wrong color? No problem. Right pattern, wrong size? We’ve got you covered.

Our Custom Rug Capabilities

Finding the right area rug for your space can be challenging. You might find a pattern you love, but the size is completely wrong for your furniture layout, leaving it looking like an awkward “postage stamp.” Or, a design might be absolutely perfect—except for the color palette.

The Rug Gallery offers premium custom rugs for that exact reason. Right here in our Cincinnati showroom, we are ready to help you design and fabricate an area rug tailored precisely to your home.

Right pattern, wrong color? No problem. Right pattern, wrong size? We’ve got you covered.

Custom Shapes & Sizes

We can transform premium broadloom material into the exact size and shape your home demands—whether that means an oversized square for a grand sitting room, a precise runner for a unique hallway, or an unconventional geometric cut. You select the dimensions and layout, and our craftsmen handle the rest.

Premium Edge Finishing

To ensure your custom area rug looks tailored and wears beautifully over time, we finish every edge using specialized, professional techniques.

  • Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our custom rugs are finished with professional serging when sized on site, with wide fabric taping also available. We don’t rely on low-grade adhesives that can degrade, crumble, or off-gas over time, helping ensure a safer, longer-lasting rug for your home.

Custom Padding Cut to Order

A custom rug deserves a custom foundation. We will recommend the ideal padding thickness and density for your specific selection, custom-cutting it to sit perfectly beneath your rug to prevent slipping, protect your hard floors, and extend the rug’s lifespan.

Bespoke Hand-Knotted Commissions

If you are looking for an entirely unique masterpiece, we can commission a hand-knotted, special-order area rug built entirely from scratch based on your custom color selections and sizing.

Material & Fiber Selection

The performance of an area rug matters just as much as its appearance. We can customize rugs using a wide range of fibers, helping you choose the right material for the traffic, lifestyle, and aesthetic needs of every room in your home:

  • 100% New Zealand Wool: Natural stain-resistance, resilience, and luxury underfoot for living areas.
  • High-Performance Synthetics: Ideal for high-traffic living spaces, kids’ play areas, or spill-prone dining rooms.
  • Natural Fibers (Sisal/Seagrass): Texture-rich, structured looks for sunrooms or transitional spaces.

Attainable Luxury

If hearing the words “custom rugs” makes you see dollar signs, fear not. Ordering exactly what you want is far more approachable than you might think.

In most cases, there is a very minimal price difference between a custom piece and an “off-the-rack” rug. Typically, custom fabrication falls within a 15% to 20% price range difference—a minor variance when you consider you are getting an investment piece engineered specifically for your space.

Precision Color Matching

Rugs come in a vast array of colors, but not always the exact shade you need to tie a room together. Our on-site design experts will guide you through hundreds of color options and yarn swatches. No matter how subtle the hue, we work diligently to ensure the final palette complements your paint, upholstery, and lighting perfectly.

Order Timeframes

How long it takes to receive your custom piece depends entirely on the craftsmanship involved, not the physical size of the rug.

  • Broadloom Fabrication & Custom Binding: Typically takes about 3 to 4 weeks.
  • Bespoke Hand-Knotting: Because of the incredible skill and manual labor required, these special orders can range from 3 months (for a Tibetan rug with a few colors) up to one full year (for an intricate, multi-color Persian rug).
