Area rugs offer a variety of functional and aesthetic benefits for your property. To improve the appeal and utility of a rug, you can have it cut to suit your needs. Below, you’ll learn more about the many benefits of creating a custom rug for your space. 

4 Perks of Custom Area Rugs

1. Protect Flooring

If you have hardwood or tile floors, scratches and stains may happen over the years. When you include rugs in high-traffic areas, such as dining rooms, entryways, and hallways, shoes won’t leave damage on the floors. Simply have the rug professionally cleaned to keep it and the rest of your flooring pristine. 

2. Add Pops of Color 

Area rugs are available in just about any color combination. If you want to revive an area of your home, an option in a vibrant shade, such as teal or red, will provide an instant facelift. You could also pick fabrics in interesting patterns to add movement and texture to your decor.

3. Fit Any Space 

You can cut a custom rug to fit into any area of the home. This is especially convenient if you want to place one beneath a piece of furniture in an odd shape or in an extremely long hallway. If you find your dream carpet, this service allows you to use it no matter its dimensions. 

4. Increase Thermal Resistance 

You can even pick a carpet that provides high thermal resistance. Fabrics with high R-values will retain heat and keep your floors comfortable by providing an extra layer of insulation. To increase the insulating power of a rug, pick a thick fabric in a dark color.
