Help! Looking for rugs

last year

Can anyone recommend a great source for quality, durable, large, cut-pile rugs for a family room? No viscose, it's not durable enough. We have a large dog. I don't want washable, because the rug will be too large. I'm considering wool, polypropylene, or maybe a nylon blend. Maybe local Persian rug stores are the best bet for wool? Thanks!

Do you live close enough to a carpet store so you could check out their remnants? The edges can be bound to make an area rug. If none of them are what you're looking for you can get any of their products made into an area rug. It doesn't have to look like bedroom plush. The store near me has an amazing variety of stocked and special order patterns, but I live in a large metro area. I realize not everyone is in driving distance from this type of resource. If you buy something online I suggest ordering a small size initially so it's easy to return if you don't like it. The larger sizes have extra shipping costs.

kandrewspa Thank you! So you wouldn't go with an area rug. You'd get carpet cut to size? I've been considering that. We prefer the look of traditional or Moroccan area rugs, but practicality is more important. I do live in a large metro area. Wish area rugs were made as well as the Persian rugs of old!

I don't know about that exact rug, but even in our back water location, you can get rugs custom made. Maybe someone could do that one for you?

Thanks, Olychick. Yes, that's where I found it online. Plus, the description doesn't seem to fit the picture. The description says red (which it also is available in), not blue. And you can't buy direct from there - they're the manufacturer. I emailed them and they told me that I could find it at Home Depot, BBB, etc. (online), but I cannot. I emailed them back but got no response. Thanks for trying! Oh - I'm in Massachusetts (very close to NH). Suzieque

Esalerugs is having a big sale that ends today. 50-60% off a large variety of rugs, with an additional 10% off if you buy two rugs. I just ordered two there today myself. You might look and see if anything appeals to you, as there are some good deals to be had. Many of us who have participated here for a long time have been pleased with our purchases from that site. (Not spam; no affiliation whatsoever.) No idea what your budget is, but this 9'5" x 12'7" Persian Tabriz baby is fab. Traditional in design, but the colors give it a unique twist. https://esalerugs.com/green-9x12-tabriz-persian-rug-110902024
