Custom Rugs 101: How the Process Works at Michael’s Rug Studio
Sometimes the perfect rug for your space doesn’t exist yet — the right size, color, and pattern just aren’t sitting on a showroom floor anywhere. That’s what custom rugs are for.
Start with Your Space
The process begins with your room: dimensions, existing furniture, wall colors, and the overall feeling you’re going for. Bringing photos or even a simple sketch helps our team understand what will actually work, not just what looks good in isolation.
Choose Your Style Direction
From there, you’ll work through style, pattern, and color options — whether that’s a traditional medallion design, a more contemporary geometric pattern, or something in between. Since Michael’s Rug Studio works across Traditional, Contemporary, and Transitional styles, you’re not boxed into one aesthetic.
Nail Down the Size
Custom rugs solve the sizing problem that stops a lot of people from getting the right rug — an oddly shaped room, a very large space, or a runner that needs to be an unusual length. Since it’s made to order, the dimensions are built around your space, not the other way around.
Material and Construction Choices
Depending on your budget and how the rug will be used, you’ll choose from different weaving methods and materials — wool, silk blends, natural fibers, and more. Each has different durability, feel, and price implications worth discussing before you commit.
Timeline Expectations
Custom rugs take longer than buying off the showroom floor, since each one is made specifically for you rather than pulled from existing inventory. Ask our team for a timeline estimate based on your specific design when you start the process.
