Area Rugs are the most fashion-forward segment of the flooring business. Each season, the largest and most successful importers send important new fabric collections from the best houses to their master weavers in Iran, Pakistan and India. Colorations are adjusted so that their antique designs feature the newest shades from Robert Allen, Schumacher and Brunschwig & Fils.

We have 300 of the "Best-Selling" Rugs from the finest importers on display at all times, and they constantly change. They are all "programmed," which means that even though they are "hand-knotted," they come in a full range of sizes from a 2' x 3' for the back door or a 2' 6" x 12' down the hall to a 12' x 16' for the living room. Some come in larger sizes and some come in rounds or squares. We took this approach to the Area Rug business for a number of reasons:

Our rug racks make it easy to browse through the incredible assortment by yourself if you wish. They are hung by color so that your color scheme will be concentrated in one area of the display. They are all about 6' x 9', which is large enough to fully appreciate but small enough to put in your car and take home to try out, which we encourage.

By having sample rugs rather than a complete inventory, we avoid the very significant carrying costs of having all the rugs in inventory. Our final cost on your rug is much lower and therefore so is your cost. So while you will not be able to get your new rug immediately, you will get it for less - a lot less!

By having sample rugs rather than a complete inventory, we are able to add new rugs immediately as they become available. That means that our assortment features the very latest fashion at all times!! The easiest way to shop, the best sellers and newest offerings, and the lowest prices - we have them all.

One-Of-A-Kind Rugs Via our worldwide contacts in the International Design Guild, we found we had the opportunity to import hand-knotted rugs ourselves directly from Pakistan, India and Iran. Importing directly cuts out the middlemen. The values are too good to pass up. Although this is a deviation from our planned marketing approach, we decided that we could not miss the opportunity to offer you immediate delivery on some of the most beautiful rugs on the planet.

So at all times, we will have ten to fifteen 9' x 12' One-Of-A-Kind, hand-knotted rugs hanging on our walls, which we are offered for half of what you would pay elsewhere. They are a byproduct of our regular business and it is a real pleasure to see the smiles when one of these rugs is "just perfect."

Some of the rugs currently in stock are available for immediate delivery. These rugs are all hand-knotted. The country of origin is listed. They are all antique designs recreated with vegetable dyes. If we are convenient to you, come see them in person. They are spectacular.

 
During the past century, the Oriental rug has become valued throughout the world as a work of art. With its rich history and color, the Oriental rug often is called the aristocrat of carpets. Although the Oriental rug of today may not soar through the air like the magic carpet of Arabian legend, the Oriental rug does perform magic, transforming interior spaces into extraordinary spaces.

The term, Oriental rug, traditionally has been used to describe hand-knotted rugs from the East. The process typically involves stretching warp threads on a loom and knotting the pile to these threads. When a row of knots is completed, a weft thread is inserted. Once the entire carpet is knotted, the pile is shorn. To a large degree, the precision of the design depends on how tightly the rug has been knotted and how short the pile has been cut.
 
 
The Square Yard offers the classically elegant look of a fine needlepoint rug at a fraction of the usual cost. A meticulously hand-crafted “micro-hook” construction creates designs of incredible detail. With their 100% wool pile, these rugs likewise give you a plushness underfoot not found in ordinary needlepoints.
 


Aubusson rugs carry a grand feel, with an especially dense pile and heavily tufted texture. Warm shades of cocoa and caramel and pale, slender fringe enrich the look without overwhelming the room. Pure wool ensures that the feel is as exceptional as the design.

Listen closely and you can hear the tones of cultures from long ago. The scene is filled with ornate castles and residences with merriment and finery. Rooms were filled with intricate Aubussons  … cultured patrons admired the grandeur and grace of these fine rugs.

The Square Yard has a fine selection of beautiful and inspiring Aubussons that would make a fine addition to any décor. All are available in custom sizes and color palettes.

Aubussons are luxurious, with a feel and texture wondrous and reminiscent of far off, mysterious lands. Aubussons have a flat weave without a pile.

 
For stair and hallway applications, we carry a large selection of roll runners produced from either synthetic fibers or from 100% wool. These rugs are produced in long rolls and then cut to the customers requirements. The ends can be left raw (as is typically the case for stair applications) or they can be bound (similar to the treatment of the sides of the runner). Some manufacturers also provide an option to add fringe to the ends. For hall runners, it is even possible with a limited selection of our rugs to miter in end caps to give the runner the picture frame appearance of a traditional rug.

We also carry a line of exceptionally fine stair rods to add that final detail to your stairs. Simply click on the link to the left to view the various rod styles. Installation of stair runners can be done by customers who are fairly handy, but most of our customers opt for professional installation. We have included a link to help you measure the length of runner that you will need for most typical applications. We can also provide custom-cut rug pads, which are highly recommended to increase your rugs life and to prevent it from slipping around.

Due to the custom nature of the stair runners, we are not able to accept returns of these pieces. Also, please allow an extra one to two weeks for delivery, depending on the end treatment. Most of our runners are 27" or 30" wide, although we do have some styles that come in wider versions, up to 6' wide. To view our complete selection, simply click on the button at the top left.
