We sell a lot of beautiful flooring at our store, so you may be wondering why we talk so much about carpeting on our website. Nevertheless, rugs just have a special place in our hearts. They are soft underfoot and add warmth to any room, especially in the wintertime. It?s the kind of flooring that simply says, ?welcome home,? after a long day at work.
Setting the mood for a room
With the wide range of colors and textures available, carpet is a great way to set the mood of a room. If you are looking to create a more formal look, darker colors with a rich Saxony rug is a great option. Or, perhaps you would prefer a patterned Berber. If you are looking for a more casual mood for the room, perhaps a twist or a frieze will suit your needs. If you are looking for a long-tufted rug with an abundance of texture, consider a modern shag. Over the proper padding, these floors will feel like a million dollars underfoot.
Not just for wall-to-wall
There is another option that many people do not initially think about, and that is carpet binding. Perhaps you have a leftover piece from a wall-to-wall job and want a small area rug for your landing. Perhaps you found a remnant that you fell in love with and would love to see it as a centerpiece in a room that has hardwood or ceramic flooring. Or, perhaps you just want to pick out a rug from our wide selection of samples and have us turn it into an area rug. Maybe you would like a runner for your steps or your hallway.
Whatever the need, we are prepared with custom carpet binding services to meet your needs. One of the added benefits of a bound rug is that you can take it with you when you move. So, they are great for dorm rooms and rental units where you might wish to add a personal touch to your flooring.
For carpet binding in St. Louis, call Flooring Galaxy
Typically, we will sew a fabric edge to your rug. This creates a finished appearance and prevents your carpet from fraying over the years. Another option is surging, where instead of sewing a fabric strip to your rug, the edge is essentially wrapped in string. This is particularly designed for use where a fringe might be added or when binding wool, oriental rug. Best yet, we are happy to pick up and deliver your bound materials.
