Milliken carpet for the trade
Milliken carpet is patterned nylon broadloom and area rugs from Milliken and Company, a private textile company founded in 1865 and headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Interiors carries 270 Milliken styles: 135 broadloom and 135 area rugs, made to order and shipped from the mill, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts.
Every Milliken style we carry is nylon, and 189 of the 177 are tufted. What sets the mill apart is pattern: Milliken dyes and prints its designs onto the carpet face, so florals, damasks, plaids and animal prints like the Milliken leopard and antelope patterns come through with detail that tufting alone cannot produce. Milliken's StainSmart stain protection is PFAS-free.
Milliken carpet tiles and Milliken commercial carpet are the larger side of the company. For a residential project the choice is usually between Imagine broadloom cut into a stair runner or hall, and an Imagine rug sized to the room.
Collections
We carry Imagine (84 styles), Imagine Rugs (70), Design Center (42), Traditions (16), Legacy (24), Third Dimension (9), Pastimes (7), Residency (8), Instincts (6), Realtree (3) and Guy Harvey (1). Styles to know include Adonis, Rosalie, Bouquet Lace, Erin, Foulard, Larchmont, Rutherford and Marrakesh.
Is Milliken a good carpet?
Yes, for patterned nylon. Milliken's printed and dyed nylon holds a detailed pattern and a wide palette better than most tufted competitors, the fiber is solution-stable, and the mill has made carpet in the United States for decades. It is not a wool mill; if the brief calls for wool, look at Bellbridge, Prestige Mills or Antrim instead.
How much does Milliken carpet cost?
Net pricing is quoted to approved trade accounts; we do not publish prices. Within Milliken, cost moves with pattern complexity and pile weight more than with fiber, since the whole line is nylon, and with the size of a finished rug. Broadloom cut to a runner is usually the most economical route to a Milliken pattern on a stair.
Is Milliken still in business?
Yes. Milliken and Company is a private company founded in 1865 that continues to make carpet, carpet tile and textiles, with its global headquarters in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The residential broadloom and rug program is current and we order from it every week.
What brand has the best quality carpet?
There is no single best brand; there is a best mill for a given room. For printed pattern on nylon, Milliken. For dense solid nylon, Fabrica. For wool texture, Masland or Antrim. For woven wool pattern, Prestige Mills, Bellbridge or Bloomsburg. Tell us the room and we will narrow it to three samples.
