When clients hear the word custom, they often picture a lengthy, complicated process—and a steep price tag. But when it comes to designing a custom rug, it’s often much simpler than you’d expect. At Collins DuPont Design Group, we’re here to demystify the process and show you how customizing a rug can be one of the most rewarding (and surprisingly stress-free) ways to elevate your space.
Start with Inspiration, Not a Blank Slate
A custom rug doesn’t mean starting from scratch. In fact, one of the easiest ways to approach it is to begin with a rug design you already love. From there, we can make thoughtful adjustments. Perhaps changing one or two colors, altering the size, or adjusting the pattern to better fit your room and overall design concept. Small changes can make a big difference while keeping the design process streamlined and accessible.

Custom Rugs That Fit the Space Perfectly
One of the most common challenges in interior design is finding a rug that fits a room just right. With custom rugs, we have full control over size and proportion, which means no more settling for something too small or awkwardly placed. We tailor the rug to your room’s dimensions, creating a foundation that supports everything else in the space both visually and functionally.
Let the Rug Lead the Design
Sometimes, a rug is so perfect, it becomes the starting point for the entire room’s design. Whether it’s the color palette, the texture, or the pattern that speaks to you, a well-chosen rug can inspire furniture choices, wall treatments, and lighting. In these cases, we design around the rug, allowing it to anchor the room and tell a cohesive color story.
Custom Doesn’t Mean Complicated
Think of custom rugs as a way to fine-tune rather than reinvent. With expert guidance from our team, we simplify the process, presenting tailored options that help you visualize how your custom rug will come to life. It’s about making something yours, not overwhelming you with choices.
