Premium Materials

From soft New Zealand wool to durable sisal and jute, we offer natural fibers renowned for comfort, resilience and beauty. Our wool rugs provide insulation and a luxurious underfoot feel. Sustainable sisal and sea grass add warmth and texture. Silky viscose has a beautiful drape and luster.

Built to Last

Our rugs are meticulously handcrafted using time-honored techniques like hand-knotting, hand-weaving and hand-tufting. These methods produce rugs that can last for generations. We use the strongest wool, cotton and synthetic fibers and reinforce the rug foundation and edges to prevent fraying and increase longevity. With proper care, a custom rug from Carpet Concepts Unlimited will become a treasured part of your home for years to come.

The Custom Area Rug Design Process

Choosing a custom area rug is an exciting endeavor that allows you to express your unique style. At Carpet Concepts Unlimited, our experienced designers work closely with you through every step of the custom design process.

Selecting Materials

We offer a variety of fibers, including wool, silk, sisal, and sea grass. Wool is a popular choice for its natural stain resistance, durability, and ability to maintain its shape. Silk rugs provide an unparalleled softness and sheen. Natural fibers like sisal and sea grass create casual, eco-friendly rugs suitable for high-traffic areas.

Determining Size and Shape

Do you want a rug that anchors a seating area, defines zones within an open space, or spans nearly the entire room? We can craft rugs in standard or custom shapes like squares, rectangles, circles, and ovals in sizes up to 30 feet wide and 100 feet long.

Choosing a Pattern

Options range from simple solids to intricate Oriental-inspired designs. Provide us with inspiration images, or we can suggest complementary patterns based on your home’s architectural and interior style. We have access to thousands of timeless and trending motifs that we can adapt to your tastes.

Previewing and Approving the Design

Using sketches, photo renderings, and CAD drawings, we will preview the rug design with you. We work through multiple revisions until you approve the final design. Production begins only when you are completely satisfied, ensuring the custom rug of your dreams.

With our premium materials, highly skilled artisans, and dedication to customer service, Carpet Concepts Unlimited creates custom rugs that reflect your unique style and stand the test of time. We invite you to begin your custom rug design journey today.

Types of Custom Rugs Offered

Carpet Concepts Unlimited produces three main categories of custom area rugs: woven, tufted, and knotted. Each type offers unique benefits depending on your needs and budget.

Woven Rugs

Woven rugs, such as flatweaves and dhurries, are created on a loom by interlacing weft and warp fibers. These tight, durable rugs work well for high-traffic areas and come in simple geometric patterns. They tend to be the most budget-friendly custom rug option. Popular weaving techniques employed by Carpet Concepts Unlimited include Wilton weaving and Axminster weaving which provide more intricate designs.

Tufted Rugs

Tufted rugs are constructed by pushing fiber tufts through a backing fabric using a tufting gun. This creates a plush, textured pile. Tufted rugs can mimic the look of woven or knotted rugs at a lower cost but tend to be less durable. However, for low-traffic areas, tufted rugs offer an affordable way to achieve a custom look. Carpet Concepts Unlimited uses state-of-the-art tufting equipment to create premium tufted rugs with the appearance and softness of handcrafted pieces.

Knotted Rugs

Knotted or hand-knotted rugs are the most luxurious and durable. Skilled artisans hand-knot fibers around the warp and weft, creating a dense, intricately patterned pile. Knotted rugs typically feature floral or curvilinear patterns and last for generations with proper care. Due to their labor-intensive creation, knotted rugs also tend to be the most expensive custom rug option. For those desiring an heirloom-quality rug, however, knotted rugs are unmatched. Carpet Concepts Unlimited works with master weavers around the world to produce the finest hand-knotted rugs.

Whether you want an affordable flatweave, plush tufted rug, or a hand-knotted masterpiece, Carpet Concepts Unlimited has a custom rug solution to suit your needs. Our experts can guide you through the options to help you select the perfect rug for your space.

Why Choose Custom Over Ready-Made Rugs

Superior Quality and Craftsmanship

Carpet Concepts Unlimited’s custom rugs are handcrafted by skilled artisans using the finest natural and sustainable materials available. Each rug is made to order based on your unique specifications and design preferences. The result is a high-quality, luxurious area rug that will last for generations. In contrast, ready-made rugs are mass produced, often using inferior materials and construction techniques. They lack the durability and artisanal quality of custom rugs.

Personalized Design

With custom rugs, you have full creative control over the design, colors, and patterns. You can choose to have a rug made in a traditional style featuring classic motifs or create a contemporary look with abstract shapes and bold colors. The options for customization are endless. Ready-made rugs offer little to no flexibility in design since they are made to generic sizes and styles. You are limited to whatever is currently in stock at retailers.

Perfect Fit

Custom rugs are made to your exact size specifications, so they fit your space perfectly with no tripping hazard or wasted space. Ready-made rugs come in standard sizes that often do not align well with the proportions of the room. They may be too small, leaving portions of the floor uncovered, or too large, creating safety issues. With custom rugs, you get a tailored rug that complements your room and furnishings flawlessly.

Investment Value

While ready-made rugs quickly lose a significant portion of their value once purchased, custom rugs hold their value well over time and some even gain value as antiques. The high-quality materials and artisanal construction of custom rugs allow them to withstand years of use while maintaining their appearance and structure. When cared for properly, custom rugs can become family heirlooms that are passed down through generations. They are built to last a lifetime and beyond.

In summary, custom rugs from Carpet Concepts Unlimited offer superior quality, personalized design, perfect sizing, and long-term investment value compared to ordinary ready-made rugs. For those seeking a luxurious area rug that meets their unique needs and tastes, custom is the only choice.
