Can you make a rug in any size?

Yes. That's the advantage of a custom area rug — we cut and bind broadloom to virtually any dimension, so your rug fits the room perfectly rather than forcing you to settle for a standard size.

What does rug binding mean?

Binding is the finished edge applied to a cut piece of carpet to turn it into an area rug. Options include serging, cotton or synthetic tape, and decorative borders. Binding prevents fraying and gives the rug a polished, custom look.

How do I choose the right rug size?

It depends on the room. In a living room, the front legs of your furniture should sit on the rug; in a dining room, the rug should extend far enough that chairs stay on it when pulled out. We'll guide you through sizing during your consultation.

Are wool rugs worth the extra cost?

For many homeowners, yes. Wool is naturally resilient, stain resistant, and longer lasting than most synthetics, and it has a luxurious feel. For high-traffic or pet-heavy spaces, a quality nylon can be a great value alternative.

Can a custom rug match my new flooring?

Absolutely. Many clients add a custom area rug when installing new hardwood or vinyl to add warmth and define a space. We can coordinate the rug with your floor and décor.

A Rug That Fits Like It Was Meant To

Store-bought rugs come in a handful of standard sizes that rarely suit a room perfectly. At Atlas Rug & Design Centre, we've been crafting custom area rugs for Toronto homes since 1959 — sized, shaped, and bound exactly to your space. Whether you need an oversized rug to anchor a Forest Hill living room, a perfectly proportioned piece for a dining table, or a soft landing for a bedroom, we make a rug that fits the way standard sizes simply can't.

Choose from premium wool, durable nylon, and beautiful natural fibres, then finish the edges with the binding style that suits your look. The result is a rug that adds warmth, defines a space, and ties your room together — built to last and made just for you.

Rug Materials

Materials We Work With

Wool

Naturally resilient, soft, and stain resistant, wool is the premium choice for area rugs. It holds colour beautifully, resists crushing, and ages gracefully — ideal for living rooms and bedrooms that see daily use.

Best Value

Nylon & Synthetics

Solution-dyed nylon offers excellent durability and stain resistance at a friendlier price than wool. It's a smart choice for high-traffic spaces, families with kids, and pet-owning households that need an easy-care rug.

Room Sizing Guide

Room	Sizing Guideline
Living Room	Front legs of all furniture on the rug; 8x10 or 9x12 for larger rooms
Dining Room	Rug should extend 60cm (24in) beyond the table on all sides so chairs stay on it
Bedroom	Extend 45–75cm (18–30in) past the sides and foot of the bed for a soft landing
Hallway / Runner	Leave 10–15cm (4–6in) of floor visible on each side; custom length to fit
Entryway	Sized to the space; durable, low-pile material that handles foot traffic and moisture
