Oversize Rugs, 12x15 and Larger
Collection
Oversized rugs and extra large rugs to the trade
Oversized rugs to the trade: 1,183 styles that come in 12x15 and larger, or are woven to any size, from Harcourt Collection (428), Bloomsburg Carpet (305), emma gardner design (141) and SSD Carpets (66). Hand-loomed (217), hand-knotted (289), hand-tufted (24) and braided (132) carry most of the collection, in wool (552), wool blend (228) and polyester (134); 517 are made to order and 666 are custom.
Large area rugs stop at 12x15 or 12x18 for most mills and the standard sizes above 9x12 are 10x14, 12x15 and 12x18. A great room, an open-plan living and dining space or a ballroom that needs a 14x20 rug or a 15x25 is a custom order: any hand-knotted or hand-loomed style here is woven to the dimension and any broadloom in the library is seamed and bound to it, with a lead time of 4 to 6 weeks for a woven strike-off and 18 to 20 weeks for production, or 3 to 5 weeks for a cut-and-bind. That is the custom program, and it is how most extra large rugs on our projects are made.
The sizing rules hold at any scale: 18 inches of floor at the walls, front legs on in a seating group, 24 inches past a dining table. In an open plan the better answer is usually two rugs, one per function, rather than one oversized rug under both, so the furniture reads as two groups. Harcourt Collection's hand-knotted and braided lines run to 12x15 made to order; Prestige Mills broadloom is bound to any size. Roll widths and seams are in the custom size rug guide; see 12x15 and larger and the area rug size guide.
